About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

  1. It looks like an art nouveau poster by Mucha going to the dark side:-). The mouth (with the missing teeth) and eye are intriguing.

  2. Yes Rob, I was very inspired by art nouveau at the time,gravitating toward the more grotesque aspects (Beardsley's strange monsters cheek by jowl exotic dancers for example.)
