HuffPo calls this collection of drawings a “heavenly compendium.” To me, this is the most rudimentary illustration of Frida Kahlo as a Muppet. Like, someone’s seriously panning this to be a part of a feminist coloring book? Please. And that girl sending you selfies while out of town is “just a friend.”
How much do you bet that bystander’s whispering, bellyflop, bellyflop???
Bet you anything Marat told Charlotte Corday tomorrow was Monday. Juuusssttttt before getting stabbed to death.
In about a year and a half, Monet painted more than thirty paintings of haystacks. He basically wrote his friend Gustave, “The struggle is real” about following the sun around his French pasture. He exhibited Haystacks as a series for the first time in 1891.
30 years ago, Monet’s “Haystack in the Fog” went up for auction, and went for 2.2 million (about 4.8 today). That’s a solid 1,600 times what it was originally sold for in 1982, when Harris Whittemore snatched it up while on his honeymoon. His father wrote:
“Should you make the purchase, we will have more of the Monets than I think we will care for, but it strikes me we can sell some of those we now have, and thereby greatly improve our collection.”
Righteous, Harris. I’m all about flashing that disposable income on vacation.
Caravaggio painted “Cardsharps” after peacing out from another artist’s workshop. This boyfriend in the front is a cardsharp, which to me, is like the Baroque equivalent of Jim Sturgess in that movie “21.” Personally, I’m all for connections back to Sturgess, so I’m really ready to go ahead and call Tuesday a WRAP.
Do you think if I stare at the clock like this girl’s checkin’ out these fish, Friday’ll come faster? Tried it.
The girl reading is actually this work week. And I’m like, that chick pleading, “GET GONE, WOMAN.”
My students are better than you. All of you. LOOK AT THAT ALLIGATOR!
Cleopatra died today in 30 BC. To honor her, I’m going to rock this same look (with that headdress, NO DOUBT), and just sassy wink all day.
