H.P. Lovecraft Art Exhibit Opens Next Week
We love both H.P. Lovecraft and fun art openings. So when Dylan Thuras of Atlas Obscura told us he was curating a Cthulhu-centric art show in Brooklyn, we bellowed a hearty “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!”
The show — A Love Craft: Art Inspired by Monsters, Madness and Mythos — opens at Observatory on Friday, June 11th at 7:00 PM. Here’s the show’s description.
Rags to Riches
From The Strand Magazine, August 1909:
The above photographs show front and side views of a fancy dress representing ‘Half-an’-‘Arf’. The costume was prepared in three evenings during spare time, and the dress suit was in no way altered or damaged, all the tramp-side garments being superstructed. There is a nine days’ beard on one side of the face, the hair being combed with isinglass to make it stand up. The face and arm are stained and made up with powders to look exactly like a natural tramp’s complexion minus the dirt. The boot is an old hand-sewn one, made up with painted and stained brown paper, with a hole in front from which a piece of tow protruded. The whole costume cost about a shilling to produce, and was a great success at more than one dance.
