The first significant artwork of the 20th century is The Road to Hell, a 1900 drawing by Alfred Kubin that depicts a tunnel, at the end of the tunnel is a woman, between this woman’s legs disappear rectangular boxes speeding towards her.
This entry is part of a new series: “100 artworks that set the world on fire (while no one was watching)”, inspired by Wire’s 100 records that set the world on fire (while no one was listening).
Remarkable indeed.
great idea – i long to see the complete list…
