The closeup images are based on the biggest print size. (Dutch: Kop van een skelet met brandende sigaret) is an early work by Vincent van Gogh. The small and undated oil-on-canvas painting featuring a skeleton and cigarette is part of the permanent collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It was most likely painted in the winter of 1885–86 as a satirical comment on conservative academic practices. Before it was common to use live humans as models, the academic routine included the study of skeletons to develop an understanding of human anatomy. Van Gogh was in Antwerp, Belgium at that time attending classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which he later said were boring and taught him nothing.Van Gogh included skeletons in another work from his Antwerp period, a sketch of a «Hanging skeleton and cat». In 1887–88, van Gogh painted two more paintings with skulls, the only other works of his (besides a drawing from the same period) to use skulls as a motif.The original size is 12.6 in × 9.6 in. It is considered a vanitas or memento mori, at a time when van Gogh himself was in poor health. It may be influenced by works of Hercules Segers, a 17th-century Dutch artist, or of Félicien Rops, a Belgian contemporary of van Gogh. Although often interpreted as a criticism of smoking, Van Gogh was a keen smoker himself, and continued to smoke until his death in 1890. /wiki This print comes with a white border around the image ————————— -How are the prints shipped?

Here we have a poster created from the famous «Attention Workingman» flyer which called for a mass meeting to denounce the activities of the Chicago Police after the initial violence on the previous day. This rally would ultimately spark the «Haymarket Affair», during which a riot and violence would commence following the explosion of a bomb during the demonstration. There were two notices for this demonstration, with the first calling for workers to «arm» themselves and appear in full force. The provocative language turned off the main speaker, August Spies, and was removed for a subsequent flier. Only a couple of hundred of the original, first version, managed to survive. This is our «version 1» with the «arm yourselves» language from the first printing. Our posters are shipped in sturdy mailing tubes, fully insured!We also carry the amended version of this, which removed the violent rhetoric, which you can find by clicking here.
