I’ve always been fascinated by that painting, Ivan Albright’s “The Picture Of Dorian Gray”. He painted most of his works in a style called “ugly realism”. I guess his theme was to show that mortality is just plain gross.

I’m sorry he’s gone.
Would have been interesting to see his version of Obeyme on a unicorn.

Albright referred to his style as "magic realism."
He spared no one, including himself. This is "Self Portrait."
