The stunning pre-production art for Hitchcock's "Spellbound" (1945) dream sequence was based on surrealist Salvador Dali's drawings and created by production designer William Cameron Menzies. Menzies paintings were used to create vast painted & built sets.

Gustav Klimt nearly gave up art - after the ceiling paintings he created for Vienna university were damned as 'pornography' & 'perverted excess' (1900-07). They were never put on display and in 1945, "it is contended that all 3 paintings were destroyed by retreating Nazi forces"

The many mermaids of Arthur Rackham. One of the "Golden Age" illustrators, Rackham (1867-1939) illustrated many editions of fairy tales, myths and even the work of Shakespeare and Wagner. His depictions of Rhine-maidens & Mermaids are extraordinary.

John Martin's epic illustrations for Paradise Lost (1827). Martin fell victim to changes in public taste. His grandiose visions seemed outmoded to the mid-Victorians & after he died (1854) his art became neglected & forgotten. By 1930 "his paintings fetched only a pound or two"

@XELASOMA_ART Thanks Alex, I hadn't come across the Kang Le concept art for Alien Covenant before. We get to see more of the "Paradise Lost". I guess what I'm wanting from Alien is what we'll never get-the explanation of the inherent purpose within being. A bit much for a film franchise maybe?

The Great Flood may not be a myth. The flood appears in ancient Sumerian, in the Hindu Matsya Purana, in the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, in the Bible & with ancient Greeks w/ Zeus' flooding of the world in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Scientists have found evidence in the Black Sea.

One of the great unknowns of Art History, Stanslow Lepri (1905-1980). "Creator of utterly strange, metaphysical extra-worlds" he was "closely connected to artist Leonor Fini - "but was by no means merely her student." She painted a double self portrait of them together (pic.4)

Pt.2 Frederick Hart - sculptor (1943-90) - was arrested & jailed in 1961 for taking part in a civil rights march w/black students. In 1966, his sister died from leukemia. While grieving, Hart "stumbled into a sculpture class at the Corcoran Art School and [was] blown away."

While carving the stone facade of the Washington National Cathedral, sculptor Frederick Hart converted to Catholicism - he also met his wife who became the female model for it. The carving titled "Ex Nihilo", or "Out of Nothing," represents human figures emerging out of chaos.

The Last days of the Cold War. Mikhail Romadin (1940-2012) painted the unique concept art for Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972). In the 80s he created images that captured the restless desire for change within the USSR before the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of Communism.
