So far, Manson's paintings are mainly figurative. When asked if he
had experimented with other styles, such as landscapes, he replied:
"The only painting that comes close to a landscape is The Death of Art, which was based on an image of the cathedral burning in Berlin that kind of ended Weimar. I thought that was symbolic of and inspirational to the record and to my art show. The strange thing is, it ended up looking almost like a face."
Trismegistus was Marilyn Manson's second art exhibition, held in Paris and Berlin. Paintings exhibited largely included but were not limited to works displayed during The Golden Age of Grotesque exhibition. This exhibition featured nine new additions on display. This exhibition spanned from September 14, 2004 until September 15, 2004.
