Have you looked at the www.thedigitalwalters.org <br />It has a great many Illuminated manuscripts that maybe of interest to you.<br />I have a little Bronze Sculpture I think its 18th Century. Its of a Coiled Serpent or Coiled Basilisk type creature. I've been trying to learn more about it but as yet I have not seen anything similar.. only William Blake's work comes anywhere close. When I have decent photos of Bronze could I send you a couple and maybe you can shed some light?<br />A Truly Splendiferous Site.<br />Thanks Jonathon <br /><br /> Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425365059520492313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383612971337334662.post-19414982743744013302014-01-02T19:15:30.995+08:002014-01-02T19:15:30.995+08:00Hi!

In fact, there is no more grotesque music than that composed in the early 20th century classical. I truly have yet to find any art that brings forth the necessary Schizotypal and isolating elements of the grotesque more than the works of Bela Bartók, Alban Berg, and Maurice Ravel (although his are a bit more subtle). I highly suggest immersing yourself in "Sonata For Piani" by Alban Berg and reporting on your affective state that was achieved during the piece.Evan Thomas John Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569361404250234026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383612971337334662.post-81252634199786172912013-10-01T00:04:22.180+08:002013-10-01T00:04:22.180+08:00Oh wow - so she is a disreputable lady!
