THE DARKNESS OF DAISIES The habit of dressing children in daisy chains comes from a desire to protect them against malevolent FAIRIES. Daisies are a sun symbol and therefore protective magic! #GothicSpring 🎨J.J Grandville; Fairy Angel, Highgate

J.J. Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard) was born on this day, September 15, in 1803.
His art angered a King; he popularized Surrealism; and he influenced Dali and Disney.
Dumas said Grandville had “a delicate, sarcastic smile [and] eyes that sparkled with intelligence.”

Popped up on my timeline. Feels like @bryan_talbot may have opinions. Also if you haven't read the #Grandville books, you should probably do that.
J’aime tant Grandville, que je conserve un volume relié de livraisons du « Magasin pittoresque », cette encyclopédie populaire, se vendant d’abord au numéro en kiosque, de 1833 à 1935.
Grandville y a contribué en 1847, par ces illustrations merveilleuses, ante-surréalistes.
Start your day with some art.
Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard, known by the pseudonym of J. J. Grandville (1803-1847). ‘Grandville’ was a French political cartoon satirist, his work specialised in human to animal metamorphosis via social/class observations.
