Vincent van Gogh - The Mulberry Tree (1889)
[ID: a picture of a painting hung on a wall with an intricate, golden frame. It depicts a mulberry tree against a background of blue sky and yellow-green fields. The leaves of the tree are yellow. The second picture is a close-up of the painting, showing the details on the tree. The leaves are painted in swirling, paint-heavy lines. End ID.]

[image description: an illustration of a knight in a full suit of armor, minus the helmet, standing entangled in a bush of green and yellow leaves. they stand with their head in their hands. their face isn’t visible and their short dark hair falls forward.]
The nineteenth century, this sword was made from a light cavalry saber blade model 1816. The guard represents a skeleton, whose skull serves as a pommel and the body grows on the guard, fighting against a snake.
From the Musée de l'Armée
[id: graffiti on the base of a concrete overpass where previous grafiti has been covered over with gray paint multiple times. In black all-caps handwriting, it reads: "What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, its probably way too cold for it, you want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little, I mean what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now but our situations are different" /end id]

i hope everyone reblogging this list and saying/thinking/feeling this sentiment knows that when this list dropped most of my friends even the hardcore cinephiles who watch thousands of movies were experiencing new movies they’d literally never heard of, so please don’t feel bad for seeing a list of admittedly underdiscussed previously hard to find films and think that you’re not cultured! by engaging with this list at all, you are. okay. love you guys bye

Sometimes ppl do stuff with art and I go "why did you.... how did you.... thank you for your esoteric and ultra specific medium art"
