the fantastic

mark over at exclamation mark took the wind out of my sails a little on this one. been sitting on my desktop for a while, but hey, you snooze… great link in any case. the fantastic in art and fiction is one of cornell university’s many fine online galleries. this one collects samples of the fantastic, grotesque, and bizarre from within their library holdings. some beautiful stuff here if you’re into such things. sections include: angels and demons, weird science, bestiary, possession and insanity, freaks, etc, etc. i only hope they expand it. continue your exploration with the somewhat related gravely grotesque a small gallery of nineteenth century gargoyles also presented by cornell. enjoy.
