# 1-3 I couldn’t resist presenting you another find at butitdoesfloat, this time the impressive paintings of Augustin Lesage (1876-1954).

Before he painted he used to work in the mines from the age of 14, where he heard (at the at age of 35) a voice telling him that he would become a painter one day. And he did. His work was seen as unclassifiable, and was attached to the spiritualist movement. Lesage was praised by the Surrealists and eventually integrated into the ‘Collection de l’Art Brut’, which is a major figure.

#4 The iconic architecture of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982)
