#art #history: imagine being such a gifted author that one of your most radical & inventive novels was mainly a product of automatic writing? best known, perhaps, for providing the screenplay that would become alain resnais' 'hiroshima mon amour' - which is not a bad place to start if you've not yet become acquainted with marguerite duras (born #otd in 1914) - she largely escaped acclaim outside of france. this is regrettable.

The centre of a large object remains long uncoloured, especially with mediums of less density and smaller angles; but at last the opposite borders and edges touch each other, upon which a green appears in the centre of the luminous image.

Desert Majesty by Lisa S. Baker

A regal bald eagle stands tall among golden blooms and turquoise cacti, its fierce gaze watching over the warm desert below. Radiant sunbursts and burnt sienna skies evoke the spirit of the Southwest, where power and peace coexist beneath an endless sky.

I enjoy watching horses graze in a country field because, while they are busy and pleasantly occupied, they're not in a hurry.

They have no worries, no concerns about working their way through a list -- one that's generally unreasonably long and constantly added to. They don't even know what a list is.

But they do know a good, satisfying meal when they're munching on it.

Baudelaire's Mistress (Portrait of Jeanne Duval), 1862. By Manet.

Manet shows Jeanne Duval reclining on a green sofa or chaise lounge, wearing a voluminous white crinoline dress and holding a green fan. Her dark hair and direct gaze create a striking contrast with the white dress. The background features decorative wallpaper or fabric panels.

So much life had been lived in this place: the old church had looked out upon generations of families farming in this valley, people who climbed up to the hilltop city to visit its markets, walk its streets, enter its buildings.

The technology had changed but humanity had not: there were goodness and evil, greed and kindness, fear and calm.

Reality is timeless.

So many moments in the day, and they don't, really, have to all be efficient.

Of course, if we were machines, that would be different, because the very purpose of a machine is to perform a task efficiently.

But we're not machines, and we're not computers. And more importantly, we are not inferior to machines and computers.

We created them.

I am not doing good at time management or indeed any approximation of knowing what day it is, but today was the last day to drop off art for the Somerville Open Studios and I managed to get this done just in time. Despite 1) running out of black thread (howwwww) and 2) goofing up the insignia the first time. Still. She looks good.

I probably did not need to agonize as much as I did over whether it’s the right shade of teal/blue but who am I even if I can’t overthink things.

A messenger bag hanging from a porch railing. It’s giving “medical uniform from Star Trek TNG” except it’s like. A bag. Got the insignia and the little black waistline angle and everything.

An odd metal machine on two spindly legs. The machine is a collection of boxy metal compartments that looks a little like a construction vehicle with a few more boxes pilled on. It is a dark, tarnished, coppery green. Each compartment has a few yellow windows in it; one shows the driver, one has a passenger, and one shows a cat. A few have thin, uneven antennas sticking out of them. The sky is a deep red-orange. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

I keep seeing a lot of writers and youtubers still using #AI images to illustrate #solarpunk - even Aeon in their latest article did so.

Could I ask you to help spread https://storyseedlibrary.org/ around?

If you know a #sustainability / #climate creator who might want to talk about the movement, could you share the Library with them?

All SSL #art is human-made, Creative Commons (some even for commercial use) and translated to multiple languages!

Rare Watercolor by ‘Wuthering Heights’ Author Emily Brontë Will Go on Public Display for the First Time

“The North Wind,” painted while Emily and her sister Charlotte were studying in Belgium, is now heading to the Brontë family home in Yorkshire

By Eli Wizevich

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/rare-watercolor-by-wuthering-heights-author-emily-bronte-will-go-on-public-display-for-the-first-time-180986423/?utm_source=smithsoniandaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=editorial&lctg=93133550

#books #art #literature

Portrait of Lady Charlotte Harley (1801-1880) as Ianthe (Lord Byron, "To Ianthe," Childe Harold's Pilgrimage).

Drawn by R. Westall. Engraved by W. Finden. - W. Brockedon (annotator). Finden's Illustrations of Life and Works of Lord Byron. Vol. II. London: John Murray, Albemarle Street, 1833.

Lady Charlotte is depicted in a graceful, seated pose, with her head slightly tilted and gaze turned gently outward or downward. Her expression is soft, serene, and composed, exuding an air of idealized purity and introspection.

She wears classical-style clothing, often a flowing gown reminiscent of Greco-Roman dress, a hallmark of Romantic portraiture. Her hair is arranged in soft curls, enhancing the youthful innocence Byron emphasized in his poem.
