Izzy Hands Reviews Important Works of Art

Summary:

Izzy visits the Tate Britain. He doesn't know much about art, but he knows what he likes, and it's approximately none of this bollocks.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:



John Everett Millais - Ophelia

No obvious signs of distress. Classic hypothermic lethargy. This is why we DRILL, DRILL, DRILL, people. A man overboard means no time for dawdling. Say it with me: safety fucking first.



Jackson Pollock - Untitled

So this one time, I stabbed a clown—


Sandro Botticelli - The Birth of Venus

Put it away, love.



Guido Reni - Saint Sebastian

Yeah, been there.


Dirk Bouts - Mater Dolorosa

Oh, you’re a bit weepy are you, love? Try being becalmed in the Sargasso for eight weeks. Then you’ll have something to cry about.


William-Adolphe Bouguereau - Dante and Virgil

I miss Edward.




Theodor Recknagel - Portrait Of A Blonde Girl With Flowers


Bonnet.





Jean-Auguste Dominique - La Grande Odalisque


Not being funny, but there's a lot of tits in this place, right?




Maria Fortuny - The Odalisque

Just an unusually high concentration of tits for a public building, is all...




Raphael - The Three Graces


See? It's November, it's raining, these girls are going to catch their deaths—


Jean Fouquet - Mary and Child Surrounded by Seraphim and Cherubim

I mean, if you're into tits, far be it from me to criticise, but there's something demonstrably odd about this pair.




François Boucher - L'Odalisque Brune

And now, for a refreshing change: some bird's bare arse.


Follower of Pierre Narcisse Guérin - Study of a Nude Man

Oh, thank fuck.

 



Claude-Joseph Vernet -  A Shipwreck In Story Seas

NonoNOnoNOgonnabesick—


Edward Burne-Jones - The Depths of The Sea

Everyone wants to be massaged to death by mermaids until they see the brutal reality.


Pablo Picasso - Dora Maar

There’s summink wrong with this woman.




El Greco - La Veronica

Creepy tea towel.

 



Unknown
- The Barberini Faun

Fuck.


Edvard Munch - The Scream

I’ve had days like that.

Weeks.

Months, even.


Damian Hirst - The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living

Are you taking the piss?


The museum cafe

£3.50 for a teabag and a splash of hot water? Get fucked.

 

Thanks to glorious_void for this adorable art of Izzy understanding culture.

Notes:

For the sake of an argument, let’s pretend these are all in the Tate.

Would Izzy like a tote bag? I think he'd like a tote bag.
