While technically not within the rules of correct behavior here, Maureen’s activity has to be at the start of those that everybody must think about when they ponder “what I would do if I could be invisible.

Might as well go all the way with the effect.

Maureen sets off to see what there is to see.

An agreeable companion piece might be a movie post for the 1940 Invisible Woman which is, perhaps, just a little more explicit about the implied nudity in that film than most others I have found.

Meanwhile, Maureen scoots across campus, in her altered form causing slight suspicion.

Maureen’s removal of her clothes brings to mind an appropriate scene from the 1940 The Invisible Woman, which is celebrated in a video that combines it an a classic rock song into a splendid example of remix culture. You can watch here:

I must say I enjoyed that.

Progress in Research: Chapter Four, Cover

Chapter Four of Progress in Research is a little on the long side, and so I’m starting it a day early (I doubt anyone will mind) with the cover, which shows Maureen putting her technological discovery from the previous chapter to good use.

Maureen’s au naturel condition suggests to me Lady Godiva. A classic image:

What better way to celebrate Maureen’s mad science achievement than with an evocative still from the original cinematic Invisible Woman?

Pretty good effects for 1941. This particular still found at The Oscar Completist.

Naturally, there’s a madlab behind the locked door. Persistence rewarded! (I wonder what that tube is meant to contain.)

Maureen finds a madlab behind a locked door in the physics building.

The mad science laboratory itself has a long history in the form of renditions of alchemist’s laboratories. Here’s another example, identified as the Amphitheatrum sapientiae aeternae:

There is no security which can’t be broken.

Maureen cracks the security to a lab.

Maureen’s tireless curiosity has a Pandora-like feel to it.

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), Pandora (1898)

Waterhouse was a pre-Raphaelite painter whose work has found a home here before at Erotic Mad Science.

The theme of a woman consoling a man is a common one in classical painting. Here is an appealing example of one that I found recently.

Francis Stephne Cary (1808-1880), Consolation (1842)

Cary wasn’t known to me before, but he’s been of a kind of significance as a teacher of artists whose work has featured at Erotic Mad Science, including both John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

This version of the image found here, with thanks to British Paintings for additional biographical detail on Cary.

Aloysius gets deep into his tinkering

Aloysius starts tinkering with all sorts of junk.

The theme of the intellectual explorer who disappears into the insane clutter of his laboratory, neglecting the world outside in an obsessive quest has deep roots in the genre of alchemist paintings. An example, found at WikiPaintings:

David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690), The Alchemist

Keep seeking, Aloysius!

The hunt continues into the darkened corridors of Feynman Hall.

Maureen continues her pursuit into the physics building.

The theme of Artemis seems appropriate.

Pierre-August Renoir (1841-1919), Diana as huntress (1867)

It seems worth noting that Renoir’s Diana, presented here as an ideal female type, has a body-type much more like that of Maureen than is typical for “ideals” of today.
