Also, anyone have an idea what the chance is of ever getting a board like /art/? I'm fucking lost on where to find good resolutions pics, and /r/ is just porn.

rec: Lolita
I've wanted for years that 4chan should have philosophy and art boards, and they've delivered. Philosophy can be discussed or shitposted about on either of /lit/ or /his/, and art threads are now a fairly common occurrence on /his/, where it seems to be the best spot for them.
Art threads do happen periodically throughout this website, because everyone senses that there is a gap for this dedicated interest, but /his/ is close enough for now. just keep an eye on /his/.

Somehow I had a feeling that posting Darger would just net me Lolita recs. I probably should've made an excepting note about that in the OP, desu.
And thanks for the pointer. I haven't checked /his/ all that often because I figured it was mostly older vanilla stuff (and I'm more into Outsider art and Dada and related), but I'll give it another looksee.

It's been a while since I've read either of them, but colorful and vaguely absurd vicious cycles make me think of Burroughs or Irvine Welsh.

Actually, no. I should look at these pictures more carefully...
Maybe Barefoot Gen?

>Google's alright, but it just gets bogged down by the fact that it also has everything else on the internet fighting for attention.
How? When I type in image search an artist's name + painting title I always get only what I'm looking for. Do you use some other method?
Drive away into uncertain neon dreams.

It's definitely fine for most stuff, and the Google Art Project is pretty fantastic, but I've just had a lot of trouble finding some less popular things (eg, Darger's stuff in high res, the photographs that Sebald uses in his 'novels', Sachiko M's photography, etc).
It's probably all there if I poke and prod further, but I was just wondering if there was another resource that I just hadn't heard about. Like something like SoulSeek, but for visual arts, not music.

This probably isn't a very helpful rec, but this pic just feels biblical to me. And if not that, then eastern philosophy. No fiction is really coming to mind, except maybe something like Siddhartha.

Yeah I'll have to check that one out, looks like it's vaguely similarly themed to something I'm writing atm
I guess the vibe I'm trying to go for with my image is that sort of really empty, eerie atmosphere that has opposing feelings of modernity and ruination

Ever heard of Marcel Schwob?
>>7852347
pic reminded me heavily of a sort of obscure book called Taming Riki you might enjoy
>>7852347
This looks perfect. Any recommended works or particular stories by him?
Please for the love of god. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a less analytical Borges
>>7852363
Imaginary Lives (which Borges later tried to imitate) and the book of monelle.

Thanks

I'm impressed senpai. Try some magic realism I guess. The second and third books I recced in that post may be to your liking. Also buy a collection of Cortazar's short stories if you haven't already. Zama by Antonio Di Benedetto is another work you'd probably like.
Here's a annotated bibliography on Argentinian literature. Maybe there's more work in there
