Conrad Felixmüller (German, 1897-1977) Death of Poet, Walter Rheiner, 1925.
This remarkable painting depicts the cocaine addicted poet leaping out a window. The tragic death served as a metaphor for Germany's headlong plunge into the nightmare of fascism.
maybe this is the end of everything but also, maybe this is the beginning. maybe in 1000 years people are gonna look back and go 'oh what archaic times. they were so mean to each other.' what if there IS a future without war, without oppression. what if there's a gentler world out there waiting for us to catch up. what if --oh God-- what if the meek DO inherit the earth? what if everything changes? what if we heal?
