“That’s because only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear – the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright, and the proper colour contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness.” ― H.P. Lovecraft, Pickman’s Model
“Pleasure to me is wonderóthe unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability.”
Howard Philips Lovecraft
