#type: other #will graham #one day Will Graham slips just a little too far in front of everybody #and he says it: 'this is my design'#says it like he really knows what it means; like he could cobble art out of corpses and slick blood on his hands #and of course Lecter's lawyers try to spin the whole story as a concoction of Will Graham's unstable mind #(even though that's something more out of a mediocre drama than real life - it's a crowd pleaser and this entire affair reads like one sick #fiction)#so they pull out the clock faces that drip away with Will's madness #and suddenly there's a new facet of obsession in this media carnival #they're in a madhouse and everybody's mad #so we make clocks with Will Graham's neuroses written on them like a catch phrase #and we Google symptoms lists for all the disorders we can find in reference to him #trying to figure out how much of him has been fried (how much has tasted blood)#and we wonder #just a little #if every witness on that stand should be put away right along with Doctor Lecter

The Trial of Dr. Hannibal Lecter - The Courtroom Artist

Lounds was in her element, strutting up the courthouse steps beside me as I fumbled with a set of pastels and a sketchbook. "It’s a symbiotic relationship," she explained (to herself, to me, or to the countless excited readers inside her head - I couldn’t tell), “The more fun Lecter has during the trial, the more mesmerized the public becomes with him - and the more mesmerized they are, the more fun for Lecter. For Dr. Lecter, it’s all about having fun. Either way, it works to our advantage."

Courtroom Sketch #1: Dr. Hannibal Lecter’s attorney turns to speak to him during Will Graham’s testimony

#hannibal lecter #freddie lounds #trial 'verse #type: art #type: fic #at first courtroom sketches sell like bags of peanuts at a baseball game #there are booths outside the courts (just $5 per photo - come on - see the cannibal in captivity! or is Will Graham more your sort? we've go #got plent of those too #sketches of Will Graham with his tired eyes)#photocopy after photocopy made from a handful of originals #soon the originals start selling better than high art #and the buzz around the trial makes them kick half the artists straight out the courtroom door #so the sketches become contraband #people sneak in (& out) anything they can get through the door #and soon the official courtroom artist is competing against crayon etchings and finger-nail woodcarvings and half-blurred photographs transl #translated into pen-and-ink #it's not long before Lounds has somehow gotten a nonsense copyright claim to every image #she's making more money than she ever could've at a legitimate newspaper (feeding off Lecter's back)#Lecter just watches #and smiles pretty for the artists

An exclusive look into the upcoming interview between the most infamous journalist of our time and the Chesapeake Ripper.

#freddie lounds #hannibal lecter #type: graphic #lecter almost disappears after his incaceration - he's bound up and muffled into institutionalization #won't see anyone; won't see or be seen #he's still out there of course; his name dances on the rims of blood-red cocktails and his mask-face grins up from the joker in decks of pla #the communal-memory of the wreckage he left of his lawyer's face with just his teeth holds strong #and pop-psychology on the cannibal and his keepers - all those damaged goods officers and investigators who kept fellowship with him #is the most popular gig in town #(count the books on the best seller list - there are two about hannibal; one about the chespeake investigation; and a third about cannibalis #but freddie lounds; oooh hannibal will talk to her; and somehow she wrangles and claws and sniffs her way back into his stone-labyrinth cell #block #and he doesn't talk much #and she's smart enough to hold back #to just use the one or the two really good lines; lines he fed her as carefully and with as much elegance #as any delicacy he fed to his guests #and she knows it (and sees the similarity and only-just manages not to shiver with glee that she never ate of his meats)#but uses it anyway #and she's the lifeline; she's the direct line to the devil #and she will never be respected as a journalist or a writer; always tainted with the tabloid; always sensationalist; always soiled #but damnit if she hasn't made her name off the back of the devil #and dammit if when he smiles in the dark and those cannibal-clean teeth glint #she doesn't smile back like a kindred spirit #(it's not why they will never accept her; the intelligentsia #the profesors; the experts; the writers; the highest of brows; no that goes down to her roots and her name and her living #and all the things that force her to bare her claws and her teeth just to get a foothold in a world that never wanted her #but it is why she's succeeded in such a riproaring way where they never could)

This paining in Hannibal’s hall is called Mary of Modena painted by Willem Wissing in 1685. He was a Durch portrait artist who moved to England. He died quite young (1656-1687) and his epitaph is Immodicis brevis est aetas, meaning Friendly artists don’t live long.

The lady in the painting is Maria Beatrice Anna Margherita Isabella d’Este, the queen of England, Scotland and Ireland as the second wife of James II, born a princess of the Italian Duchy of Modena. Her middle name Beatrice could be a reference to Beatrice Portinari, the woman Dante Alighieri admired so much (and Hannibal is an avid admirer of Dante), I don’t believe in coincidences when Hannibal is concerned. :-)

So, after the analysis of the painting of naked lady in Hannibal’s dining room - read here and the naked ladies in Hannibal’s kitchen - read here, we have a dressed lady, what a change! :-) I didn’t find anything naughty in here, but maybe it’s well hidden.

All descriptions of paintings in Hannibal are here.

Hannibal Lecter is believed to be descended from the ruthless Tuscan Guiliano Bevisangue and from the Machiavelli and Visconti bloodlines. There were several entanglements between the Visconti and d’Este families, the most significant tie being that Galeazzo I Visconti married Beatrice d’Este (daughter of Obizzo II d’Este) on 24 June 1300.

Mary of Modena was descended from the d’Este line, and lived from 1658 to 1718, much later in history. However, (according to tracing parentage through wikipedia), Mary of Modena’s parentage also traces back to Obizzo II d’Este.

the trial of hannibal lecter, the chesapeake ripper

history is being made. the most notorious serial killer in the world has been caught, but he is still spreading like a feverish plague - even more so now than before. hannibal lecter. hannibal the cannibal. the chesapeake ripper. doctor lecter. his name is on the lips of the people - the newsreels, the tabloids, the internet, the men and women and children can’t stop whispering and screaming about it. about him. he’s a monster. he’s a god. he’s like no one we’ve ever seen before. and we’ve been eating out of his hand like dogs. and we won’t stop.

#trial 'verse #type: graphic #Hannibal Lecter #the Hannibal Lecter trial offers the doctor something he never truly believed would be his: immortality #godhood in the eyes of the world #a permanent fixation on his name - and most importantly #his art #serial killers become known by one of two things: their work #(Jack the Ripper; the Green River Killer)#or their name (Ted Bundy; Jeffrey Dahmer)#so rarely do we remember both #if we know his name - he is caught #and his works are revealed in the daylight #made benign and distant #because we own him; we own his name #he has no power over us - he can no longer steal our children or destroy our lives #Hannibal the Cannibal - his name makes him no less terrifying #the trial does not make him weak; human; touchable #it distances us from him further; fills us with frenzy #to know & to understand what has escaped us #we know his name and we know his art but we cannot put him away like so many others #Hannibal Lecter is the exception to every rule we know #and we are enamored

Is star prosecution witness Abigail Hobbs an innocent victim, or a monster in the guise of a maiden? Neither the state nor the defense seems quite sure where she falls. One thing is certain however: Her testimony and behavior on the witness stand is a controversial performance that has ignited public opinion. {Dedicated to this post}

#trial 'verse #type: graphic #type: academia #abigail hobbs #It isn't long until Abigail Hobbs is just as much of an academic curiosity as Hannibal Lecter #academia has had its fun with Will Graham for the last decade; the professors treat him like a forgotten pitiable side show #on the road to the research funding hot-pot of cannibalistic folie a deux #and while Hannibal Lecter is a source of horrified fascination - power and abuse; the hegemony that thrives under our beds #Abigail Hobbs becomes an icon of feminism #associated with all those age-old stories of the girl and the wolf #a bloody consumptive bildungsroman for our modern age #she becomes Red Riding Hood and everything the tale stands for - the woman in the body of a girl #offered a path of needles and a path of pins (debauchery or propriety - both sharp enough to make her bleed)#the anthropologists attack the continued misogyny of psychiatry; the psychiatrists blame the continued disillusionment of youths #but all agree that Abigail Hobbs is 'the modern woman' in its cruelest sense #a schrodinger of ambiguity: passive victim or weaponized aggressor #madonna or whore #(they are right about one thing though: elle avoit vu le loup #seen the wolf like all those heroines of old - seen the wolf and lost their childhood #try as they might - they can never see into the box #never quite determine if her childhood was taken from her #or if she gutted it like all those dead girls)

Beverly Katz + Vincent Van Gogh

The thing that I admire about Ms Katz is her disposition - and it made me choose Van Gogh. There is something so comforting in the brushstrokes, there’s an understanding of death, a perception of madness - yet no anger or fear; the light shines upon the troubled waters.

#beverly katz #trial 'verse #type: art #art & persona resonance #*#the speculation doesn't contain itself to rumors of debaucherous therapy sessions or psychopathic make-your-own-dinner nights #to the convoluted katabasis of Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter #soon even the quieter figures take the stand and ignite the imaginations of the public #Beverly Katz quickly becomes a crowd favorite with the way she seems to be the only remotely normal stable mostly-unscathed human being in t #in this stage show of a trial #with the way she calls Will Graham one of the strongest men she has ever known #the way her words form a protective shield around the agent #the way she speaks like a woman who has killed more times than Will Graham has even imagined murder #and still walks firm and proud within all the boundary lines #and fights to draw Will Graham in with her #(and there's no small amount of snark towards Lecter)#so of course they love her; of course they speculate #of course the face they see in the courtroom becomes tied to the works of a man who saw deepest despair #yet didn't stop looking

“As well, there is often a tension between the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of justice. The goal of accurate fact-finding is one that is sometimes best achieved by underhand methods. Indeed, those guilty of crimes or civil wrongs may often try to hide relevant information, leading those investigating such wrongdoings to fight fire with fire. The trial itself may even become a setting for trickery aimed at exposing hidden truths or overcoming lies. However, if the courts allow the end of accurate fact-finding to justify any means, then their status as the source of justice will be tainted.”

- or, my Uniform Evidence Law textbook is really making me look forward to Hannibal Lecter’s trial.

hannibalmedia

#in a show where the truth is literally eaten alive by hannibal's performance and regurgitated in strange chaotic forms #imagine the desperation and viciousness of the law; having to fight that kind of fire with fire #tainting the courts as a site of justice by his very presence and manipulations and performative briliance

#trial 'verse #type: resource #or; the post that started it all #the courtroom as the most glorious singular focii from which hannibal can perform #and in so doing follow in the grand tradition of subverting the heart of blind justice #by embodying the fact that humanity itself is overwhelmingly responsibe to stimuli and dramatics and superstition
