It's A Weird Word

 I learned this from Mental Floss:

In Latin, larva originally meant “ghost” or “ghoul,” and when the word first began to be used in English in the mid-1600s, it meant precisely that. But because the ghosts and ghouls of antiquity were often portrayed as wearing a disguise to hide amongst the world of the living, in Latin larva also came to mean “mask,” and it was this figurative sense that the 18th century naturalist Carl Linnaeus meant when he began to call the juvenile forms of insects larvae in the 1700s.

The Dark Arts

 I was surfing around Google Arts and found the macabre works of Franz Sedlacek.

Franz Sedlacek style of painting was called  New Objectivity (in German: Neue Sachlichkeit) .

The New Objectivity movement essentially ended in 1933 with the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis to power.

Franz served in the German army- essentially he gave up his life to serve ( he was MIA and declared dead in 1972) the very people who ended the very style of art he created.
