Oooh. Well, it’s more teal or turquoise, but ok, I get it now.
To be fair I also associate turquoise blue with the US Southwest setting of the show.

You watching the show now, or you just know that from general knowledge?
General knowledge, I have yet to actually watch the show. I have been meaning to for the longest time though.

I’m out of Gabriel Knight pictures to use for my profile so I decided I may as well go with a picture of our favorite outfit - black suit, white shirt, red tie. It’s a pretty famous look and instantly recognizable!

This was the the result of Ort-Meyer working while drunk.
“I started working as a hitman, I still don’t get no respect. My old man, ya know, he told me I couldn’t cut it. He said if I tried to shoot someone with a sniper rifle, I’d just shoot myself in the foot. And my wife, she told me she didn’t believe me. I asked her what I could do to prove it to her. She gave me an envelope and said if I killed the person in the picture inside, she’d believe me. So I opened it up, it was a picture of me.”

Monument to V Tatlin
Dan Flavin: Lord of Light and Liminal
Yeah I am back after so long and since I am going back to basics I thought I might as well do it with a minimalist, the fluorescent sculptures of Dan Flavin.
Flavin’s works with light are often very simple with very little actual intended meaning on Flavin’s part beyond the fact that these works are often memorials to people Flavin knew or those who he admired artistically such is the case with his Monument to V. Tatlin series which encompasses close to 40 pieces over a thirty year period dedicated to the constructionist artist and architect Vladimir Tatlin.
According to Flavin the structures in the Monuments are American office blocks according to the principles of Constructivism which draws a line from Flavin’s American working class to the proletariat masses of Tatlin’s Russia. Monumentality also appears in Flavin’s use of stark and harsh white lights which almost draws parallels to the sort of grim and naked white marble and plasters of monuments. The temporary nature of the lights along with their colouration, how they flicker and burn out also gives it an ironic nod to the ephemeral nature of both the human being and towards the many ideas we have yet never come to pass.
A model of the Monument to the Third International if you are curious (not to scale obviously, it was to be bigger than the Eiffel Tower) and yes I am aware that it resembles the matchbox structure you make in the Communist vision quest in Disco Elysium.

Study After Velazquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X
Why Yes This Does Look Like A Disco Elysium Character - Francis Bacon, A Study
Based entirely off reproductions of a painting of Pope Innocent X by Spanish master and court painter Diego Velazquez, Bacon made it a point to never see the original when making this artistic study of the painting in Bacon’s own tormented and demented style around the time of his first “Head” series. This study is a part of a series revolving around various haunting paintings of popes.
Its horrible tortured face taken after the stair scene from Battleship Potemkin, its dark and foreboding colours (note the use of purples is heavy here, the colour often linked to royalty) and its allusions to the Pope as being nothing more that a captive in a gilded cage wrapped in a glassy curtain starkly reverse engineer the original intended use of its source painting, to the increase in prestige of Pope Innocent X.
Now it can get hard to really prescribe exactly what this painting signifies to Bacon. You think it would be easy being a portrait of a pope by an alcoholic, homosexual Irish Catholic who had a very broad social circle and was trapped in a very self-destructive relationship. But Bacon was, at times, very guarded about his paintings though it doesn’t really stop art theorists does it? A lot of people will usually be able to pick up allusions to being trapped (such as the literal gilded cage frame seen here), to being kept guarded (the vertical strokes almost give off a fabric quality) and to being put on display.
