always been kind of fascinated by the fact that so many wikipedia pages for complex emotional states/afflictions are represented by paintings, a disproportionate number of which are by edvard munch

Jay DeFeo is best known for this monumental painting, entitled The Rose, which she started in 1958 and completed over the course of eight years. The piece consists of white and gray paints layered so thickly onto the canvas that, in some ares, the paints are almost eight inches thick. She used so much oil paint that she called it “a marriage between painting and sculpture.“

The Rose measures 7.5 x 11 feet and weighs 2,300 pounds,
