For example, this painting by Pablo Picasso is one of my favourites. It's titled "Le Moulin de la Galette" and was painted in the fall of 1900. I've had the pleasure of seeing the original of this at the Guggenheim in NYC.
I've begun doing a little rambling on what Goth is to me in my blog here in an embryonic effort to hash-out what I'm doing with this site. On the one hand I'm looking at the painfully impossible question "what is Goth?" from the descriptive angle, and on the other I also want to get into my ideas of what Goth should be in a more proscriptive way.
One of the things that makes the Gothic subculture (Goth) very difficult to define, even for insiders, is the overlap with what I will call allied scenes.
