A Modern Ophelia. Constantin Meunier (1831-1905,) was a Belgian painter & sculptor. His art elevated the industrial worker to icons of modernity, reflecting the industrial, social & political developments of his day. His Ophelia seems to be a victim of the industrial city beyond.

The darkly brilliant illustrations of Edmond Dulac (1882 – 1953). A prolific golden-age illustrator who had a particular affinity with the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. Strangely, he also "designed banknotes during World War II and postage stamps"!

Utsuro-bune - Japan's UFO. In 1803 Japanese fishermen reported a drifting vessel that contained "a beautiful young woman" with red & white hair, dressed in strange clothes. They claim she held a square box "that no one was allowed to touch" & she spoke in a strange language.

Eduard Manet's iconic & much imitated "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" (1862) took it's original composition from 3 figures (detail bottom right) in Marcantonio Raimondi, “The Judgment of Paris” (1510–20) Pic 4. The irony was that putting modern people in classical poses caused offence.

Cyclic Return. The art of Takato Yamamoto (1960-) pays homage to the 19th century English tradition of gothic illustrations, typified by Aubrey Beardsley & Arthur Rackham. Beardsley (1872-1898) was, in turn, originally influenced by Japanese woodcuts.
