This group is dedicate to the (aesthetics) Albino Look. Usually, the albino look is represented with white hairs, red/purple or blue eyes, pale skin... It's looks angelic, pure... Like a dream! The Albino Look has also gave birth to legends ... Inspired a lot of writers, like Michael Moorcock, and his famous Elric of Melniboné, that the protagonist is an albino anti-hero... And, obviously, it's inspired the artists, from their Original Characters or the simple character of an artwork. Unfortunately, ignorance has it that many famous movies, comic books and "use" the albino look like the portrait of the antagonist, or the ultimate evil. But do not talk about this. This group was created for those who, exactly, the Albino Look. Only this. Only the aesthetics, because is so original, so pure... And more! A long time ago... Traveling on the Internet, I found a wonderful reference for the albinism in this site: Albinism In Popular Culture. This is a belief of the Native America, where the albinos are appointed: CHILDREN OF THE MOON. Here is writing by site: Many Native American legends describe a pale moon goddess who made periodic appearances on land. People with albinism born into a tribe were sometimes called "children of the moon" because of the fair coloration they shared with the moon goddess and because they needed to stay out of strong sunlight during the day. For this occasion, I want to open a group featuring the art about this physical peculiarity. Obviously not with the intention to offend anyone, from people to animal! I hope you appreciated it, and not angry with we. We simply like the albinism look... |
