Art Inspiring the Novel

Alfred Rethel

Here’s a few post-it notes I found with names of artists. I scribbled these down over the weeks and months working on Unknown Female: Harry Clark, Albrecht Durer, Vincent DiFate, Aubrey Beardsley, Sidney Sime, William T. Horton, William Hope Hodgson, Lord Dunsony, Nicoles Gordan, Joel Peter Witkin, Constantin Brancusi, Zdzislaw Beksinski, Maeve Berry, Patrik Budenz, Wee Gee, Alfred Kubin.

I’ll save extended commentary on these blokes for later, but for now I’ll let you all have fun exploring. They all seemed to speak to the dark underside of the Southern landscape, culture, crime, and overall ambiance.
