Several of Ivan Albright's pictures caught my attention. Into the World There Came a Soul Called Ida was one of my favorites. The image was a decadent woman sitting on a chair with a mirror and a hairbrush in hand. Her face is grotesque; with a dead features that seem to represent time and its fragility. Her legs (the most noticeable attribute) are thick, but they look as if they are decaying. The images surrounding her look depressing as well; the room looks dark, as the only person in focus is the woman.
Ivan Albright was known for his gloomy paintings; from the Picture of Dorien Grey to The Door, Albright's paintings produce a frightening effect.
