I organized a ton of old photos for my family this weekend, and found multiple Walgreen’s sleeves just filled with my crappy attempts to be a moving photographer. They’re gems, truly, everything you’re imagining. I’ll unveil them later this week.
With that said, I wanted to show off some real photography by Hugo Cifuentes. Notice his slick elimination of fruit stands and abandoned road signs. I hope you know foreshadowing when you see it…
Welcome to something I’m gonna call Monday’s Muse. Ha, not really. But Josephine Baker’s a major fox, so go with it.
“She’s the Nefertiti of now.” – Pablo Picasso, comparing Josephine Baker to a glamorous queen of Egypt
“The most sensational woman anybody ever saw, or ever will.” – Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes art is being in the backseat with a sleeping beauty and No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom.
I bet she’s thinking, I’m not even gonna fret it’s Sunday. Well girl, if I had that tousled hair and that rubicund, peachy glow, I wouldn’t worry about Monday either. I’d be all, let me be about that life.
The robe, the garter, the conspicuous clothing over obvious nudity…Kirchner gives us the modern Adam and Eve! I also cannot get enough of Kirchner’s smoky eye. All in all, this gritty tableau is my ideal Saturday morning before bottomless mimos.
Edouard Manet painted this image of a courtesan in 1876. Not an entirely new subject area during the Impressionist era, but Manet’s take is both intimate and complex. Viewer takes on voyeur, as if this broad could turn around at any moment to catch us and Manet being creeps.
Sometimes art is a bomb blazer. And I’m also gonna go ahead and say Jenny Lewis is always art; hello!, look at those cascading waves on waves! Not to mention the nameplates!
45 years ago, the Beatles crossed the road and into history. George 4ever ❤
Here’s to having it and eating it too. TGIF, enjoy your adventures, wherever they take you. Betcha can’t choke on all that saccharin hooey.
ABCfamily gave the gift of Titanic to primetime television earlier this week, and I forgot how much art Rose has! Like that diamond isn’t enough?! Girlfriend, your mom talks about how your family be broke and yet you’re sitting on all those paintings that weren’t actually on that boat!
I love the part of the movie when Jack’s drawing Rose, and she calls him out for blushing. “I can’t imagine Monsieur Monet blushing.”
Oh, Rose.
