Oh man, I thought I was the only one who realized this relationship. Thank you, Leroy’s Place!

tahitian women
Girl, I see you and I hear that. I wouldn’t wanna be about that “painted by Gauguin” life either.
Read more about how much I loathe Paul Gauguin here, here, here, here, here…oh!, and here.
atlas
Zeus made Atlas hold the heavens after the Titans lost to the Olympians.
This looks like a globe, right? That whole “world on your shoulders” mantra? From Atlas, right? Wrong. This is a celestial sphere, so, school your friends with that little piece of knowledge.
The Farnese Atlas is the oldest sculpture of the Titan, and is a second-century Roman marble copy of a Greek original.
Go ahead and see another Atlas at Rockefeller Center.
This Art Deco beauty was installed and unveiled in 1937. He’s 45 feet tall.
money shower
So, I moved into a new apartment, which means that I’ve basically thrown out everything that was all nice and right with my old place, and plan to burn a bunch of money on new things.
Well, some money. I’ll just go ahead and add these $140+ shower curtains from Anthropologie onto my Amazon Wishlist…hint hint.

sunday afternoon
Georges Seurat completed Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grand Jatte in 1886. He was 27. You know what I considered an artistic accomplishment at 27? Marble painting my nails.
modern art
Sometimes art is Art always is the love of a beloved, best friend, soulmate, ballerina-twin-emoji partner for life. Thank you for this book, you beautiful thing. I treasure you.
sunflowers
Which one would you rather have? The yellow one? Or the one underneath it?
If you picked the yellow one, congratulations! It’s van Gogh’s Sunflowers. If you chose the one underneath it, take your Gauguin and get out of my life.
