More Boring Art History

[Guest guest]

Kurt Cobain, of Nirvana, did meat sculpture. You can see in on a couple

of the later CD covers. He liked dead things, too. Sort of road kill

aesthetics.

 

This aped the back of Faith No More's CD EPIC.

 

This in turn aped the suppressed Beatles Butcher cover that graced the

first printing of the compilation YESTERDAY...AND TODAY, which shoes the

Fab Four in white butcher aprons with raw meat draped over them and a

dismembered doll.

 

This in turn was a hint, wink, and nudge to Grand Guigñol Theater

shock-satire.

 

But nevermind.

" A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot

survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for

he is known and carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves amongst

those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the

alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor

appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and

he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness

that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he

works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city,

he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer

is less to be feared. " --Cicero, 42 BCE

for some reason i thought cobain was a vegetarian

(because he had stomach problems).

faith no more's angel dust cd has nasty meat and dead

cow head photos. gross! great cd tho.

 

i knew this guy in dallas who made scultures with

bones of animals (mostly roadkill). incidently, i

also saw the same guy beat the hell out of kurt cobain

in the middle of a street in downtown dallas in 1991.

I know at least one of the fab four is a vegan now. He's also a animal rights

activist!!

I wonder what vegetarian Paul has to say about that cover today?

 

Interesting about the Guignol theater. One of the museums here in

Santa Fe has a bunch of Guignols displayed. Interesting, but I

never knew much about what type of theatre it was.

I think it's probably something he regrets now. What I wonder about is this:

He's an animal rights activist. I think he must know about the terrible way

the animals are treated in the meat and dairy industry. Why do you think he

hasn't gone vegan? That really bothers me. I'm a relatively new vegetarian and I

try to stay away from all food that has animal in it. Cloths too for the most

part.
