MONSTER
11
A Partial Gothic / Occult / Horror Short Story In Long-Hand Written in the Tradition of H.P. Lovecraft This Appeared at the Dillettante Press website but is no longer linked. I discoverd and saved it a year ago from a Google image search. The subtitle is "Paul Laffoley interviews a Boston Monster upon the occasion of an exhibition entitled Terrors and Wonders: Monsters in Contemporary Art at The Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park." It was not a part of their book "The End Is Near:" Apocalypse & Utopia in 20th Century Art (which I thought was out of print, but is still there!) & features about 5 pages of Laffoley's art in high rez. I thought at first this was an unused submission for that book, but reading the interview about his 2004 painting "Pickman's Mephitic Models" it appears to be connected to that project. In fact, parts of this appear on the 'thoughtform' for the painting, published at the Kent Gallery site as a preview of the upcoming Paul Laffoley Catalogue Rasonne, presenting his complete body of works. Paul Paints Many Beautiful Things, but he can do some Quite Scary Work Too, when focused on those shadow-aspects of reality. Here are the Page-Links to Monster 11 & below that is the painting in Homage to H.P. Lovecraft with some detail zooms of the demonic entities. MONSTER 11: Pages - 1-3 / 4-6 / 7-9 / 10-13 / 14-16 / 17-19 / 20-23 / 24-26 / 27-29 / 30 |
