LO-FI THRILLER™

Henri Matisse - Dancers II, 1909-10

Note the vertical lined "shuttering", as Bacon called it in his painting.

When the poet Marcel Laconte showed Magritte a copy of Giorgio de Chirico's "Love Song," Magritte was moved to tears and said, "This is the most moving painting of my life. This was the most moving moment of my life... I saw 'thought' for the first time.

2) H.R. Giger - Original design for Alien creature, 1970s

Right column: Two versions of The Third-Class Carriage, by Honoré Daumier (ca. 1856 & ca. 1863).

Btw, I probably enjoyed these Roald Dahl/Wes Anderson short films more than either French Dispatch or Asteroid City (although the latter comes close).

2) The iconic cover illustration for the first volume of Fantômas, by an anonymous artist, 1911. A "classic image of the Parisian oneirology", according to French poet Robert Desnos.

2) Alfred Kubin - Todesstunde (The Hour of Death), 1903

Bernard Buffet - Boeuf écorché, 1954

Return of the Living Dead II (1988)

I wonder if these could have been an inspiration for the Glass Box in Twin Peaks: The Return.
