I love the theatre http://xnxx.promo/ www.xnxx No less a figure than Vincent Van Gogh admired the wood engravings in which Holl portrayed the poor and dispossessed not as generic types, but as real people, while his narrative paintings were sensationally popular at the Royal Academy in the 1870s. But towards the end of that decade, as advanced taste and critical opinion shifted towards an ‘Art for Art’s Sake’ aesthetic, it became more difficult to sell harrowing scenes of death and destitution. Once Oscar Wilde had quipped that “one must have a heart of stone to read the death of little Nell without laughing” life became very hard for Royal Academicians who specialised in pictures of dead babies.
