Waterhouse’s ‘Narcissus’ references the flower named after the Greek myth. ​ In the Greek myth Narcissus, a beautiful youth, fell deeply in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. He became completely entranced and could not tear himself away. He eventually wasted away and died on the spot from starvation and exhaustion. In some versions (e.g., Ovid’s Metamorphoses), the gods transformed his body into the narcissus flower (daffodil) where he died, as a memorial to his self-obsession. In others, the flower simply sprang up from the earth at the place of his death. The bloom thus symbolizes vanity, self-love, and unrequited desire.

The Sheridan Theatre (1937) captures the grandeur of vanishing movie palaces as they started to get demolished or repurposed. Hopper's mapping of stage-light logic shows how architecture was built to command the eye despite fewer people being there to look. #artbots #hopper

In Farm Garden with Crucifix (1912), a rustic cross is nearly swallowed by a vibrant explosion of flowers. This blend of folk piety and decorative density was tragically lost in 1945, when the original was destroyed by a fire set by retreating SS forces. #artbots #klimt
