I feel the animation doesn't really capture bosch. I grew up with his painting around our house, my dad was a big fan! When we lived in Europe for a few years we would go to all kinds places just to see one his paintings.
However, I feel the animation is trying to be "weird" like bosch rather than "symbolic" like bosch.
- bertiewhykovich 10y agoThe linked article suggests that the models in the animation are supposed to represent 21st-century vices. That's all very well and good, but "The Garden of Earthly Delights" wasn't supposed to (and doesn't) represent 16th-century vices. Certain images from the "Hell" panel may be more historically situated, but the center panel is -- if it's about vices at all, which is not at all clear -- about more-or-less eternal human ones. Edit: one of my favorite pieces of art derivative of "Garden" -- a reading of the music painted on one of the figures' asses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnrICy3Bc2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnrICy3Bc2U
