I find Schwabe’s work rather on the sickly side of decadent symbolism, though one can’t fault his imagery. However, I much prefer the excesses of Gustav Adolf Mossa…

I bet Amano would be quite happy with that arrangement.

Some of his pictures remind me of Yoshitaka Amano. If I was born into an insane amount of wealth, one of the things I’d have done by now, besides doing incredibly random things to drive the general populace crazy, would’ve been to blackmail artists I like into doing whatever projects I wanted. In this case it’d be to make Amano illustrate major works by every eccentric fin-de-siecle Frenchman I can think of.

Hahaha…..! Given all the writhing erotics and morbidity (not to mention the snakes coming out of that woman’s breasts…), that was the last comment I expected!
