I like an animated skeleton.
I went to MOMA today to see a painting by James Ensor called Skeletons Trying to Warm Themselves:
[it's hard to see here but the inscription on the stove reads, in French: "No fire. Will there be any tomorrow?"]
as a bonus, I also found Skeleton Looking at Chinoiserie:
I don't consider these paintings or myself morbid, I enjoy the hint of macabre. Spooky can be fun, and skeletons are just cool. A few of my other bony favorites:
The sword fighters from The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
The Richard Avedon series "In Memory of the Late Mr. and Mrs. Comfort."
Mexican "Day of the Dead" folk art
Jack Skellington, from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
And hey, you learn something new: while Googling images i found this neat bit from artist Tessa Farmer.
That's a real bee and animal bones, she uses a microscope to create her pieces. Cool!
