Fuck The Monarchy - Tumblr Posts
as an australian i’ve heard plenty about the queen, but it still feels distant. my heart goes out to anyone who will suffer because of it, especially those who have had medical procedures cancelled. that is heartbreaking.
to everyone in the uk right now, i hope it gets better soon, and even though nothing i say has any effect, you have my support
I will be honest guys, the Red portrait of king Charles is gorgeous asdfghjkl
it's a bad portrait. Like. Objectively. It does the opposite of what's intended. It looks like the painter is insulting him. If it was in a contemporary gallery with no context you would see it immediately as the ambivalent criticism of Charles's reign, how he fades into the overwhelming red background as a tiny little figure, small and insignificant, insufficient for the clothes he's wearing. It reminds my of Goya's portraits, how they were so 'realistic' that they ended up making these great figures look pathetic to the viewer. So these are our rulers?
the sheer novelty. the surprise and shock, the kinda cunt it's serving for no reason. I. I love it. It's an incredible portrait by Jonathan Yeo. By the sheer fact that Charles, the man, is impossible to portray as greater than man because he's just such a nothingburger of a dude. So a portrait made to make him look huge and interesting made him be swallowed in red brushstrokes. The butterfly, that reminded me immediately of " we will all laugh at guilded butterflies", draws more attention than him. It looks like an omen. It looks like a warning in all this red. Something is not right here.
This is the best royal portrait ever 10/10
trisha paytas should be given an award and if she keeps having babies at this rate we could abolish the monarchy in a few years
I think now that queens dead they should have her stuffed and put on display in Cairo for the next 150 years.
The only valid person in the entire show
