Interconnectedness....ness.

Hogarth's Rake's Progress details a man who inherits fortune and accumulates debt until he loses all his money, ends up in debtors prison, then loses his mind, and ends up in an insane asylum.

Here is the final plate of the 8 plate series of paintings that detailed the aforementioned story.



The other plates and information on each can be found here:

Guess who wrote a song I felt was similar to this tale. Thats right...Lady Gaga.

FUck no. Its, instead, the God, Bob Dylan. THe song, of course, being Like a Rolling Stone




My kind of art.
