Anyway, I also wanted to post something on duality. Well, I found something on duality in beauty as a conceptuality, but that's fairly dry theory and I don't want to bore you that much. Actually, you can find duality in all kinds of things that my project is relating to concept wise. Grotesque represents more or less duality/ambivalence. Especially in its visual appearance. For example you have creatures being half bird, half snake. There's a whole lot to write about, but instead of making this postings text too long again, I will put some pictures underneath so you can get an impression.
The pictures are all out of a book (Chatel, 1997) that I name at the bottom of this post. I will not title/reference every image, and some have no title anyway. One last thing I would like to end this post with, an nice interpretation or describing of the grotesque. I can't quote it literally, but it basically was saying this: The grotesque has given shelter to thousands of little inventions, that not have a story.(Chatel, 1997, p40)
And because my pictures are so blurry her are two more found on wikipedia:
