#art #history: i honestly don't think that even a surrealist master of jean cocteau's calibre could've conceived of the weirdness that is our current reality.
i tip my pen to him, nonetheless, to honour his birth on 5 july, 1889.

Vincent van Gogh - Self-Portrait

Van Gogh depicts himself from the chest up, turned slightly to his right, with his piercing blue-green eyes looking directly at the viewer.

His face is angular and tense, with a reddish beard and moustache contrasting his pale skin.

Henri Matisse, Paris, May 13th, 1913. In: Men of mark. (published 1913) Medium: Photogravures

Matisse stands at three‑quarter turn, body slightly angled to the left of the viewer—with one hand resting on a ladder or easel, hinting at his studio environment.

He wears a simple, likely dark jacket with a light-colored shirt underneath. His hair and beard are neatly trimmed, lending a poised and introspective air.

A black background with a red symbol on it: a circle with a diagonal bar through it, the "prohibited" symbol. Inside the symbol, appearing to be reaching out from it, is a minimalist white cartoon figure of a shouting man wearing a crown too large for his head and clutching a phone. The man's tie overlaps the lower boundary of the red symbol. This, of course, is Donald Trump, rendered in a Ghostbusters symbol. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

As a child, I did not do well with the box of rocks in the geology session of science class. Separated from their environment, neatly docketed in their little spaces, they little held my interest.

But out in the real world where the rocks "lived," I was fascinated by their texture and form, color, placement, shape.

I like to learn about the real world, in the real world.

Politics is a game that hides power. It purports to have "sides" -- A or B, red or blue, good or bad -- so that parasites wield control while followers on each side snipe at one another.

But if we must discuss sides, it should focus on the ridiculously, appallingly rich who grasp, wield, and use power and . . . the rest of us.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 244.

Richard Verdi's new Thames & Hudson World of Art volume on Velázquez (2023), is great on the art, presenting a chronological discussion of most of the painter's works, but much much weaker on the life & organisation of his studio. So, if you want to assess Velázquez oeuvre then this is the book for you, but if you like artists' biographies then give Verdi's well written but tightly focussed volume a miss.

This is my custom portrait of Pearl Grey the cute gray cat! This portrait will eventually become a shiny foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the print.

House in Zaanse Schans. Direct Watercolor. 12"x9", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art #mastoart

Watercolor painting of a house in Zaanse Schans, Netherlands. A single level dwelling with a tall, sloping roof in orange tile occupies two-thirds of the middle, horizontal band of the view. The house has dark, blue-gray wood siding, and two elongated windows in white trim with red shutters, opened. The top two panes of each window are covered in a green yellow light, while the bottom panes are in shadow. The house has an attached, windowless garage in the same siding and orange roofing. Ochre chimneys rise from both the garage and house, and a thin sliver of a white trim facade stands to the right. Bright sunlight from the right casts angled shadows from the chimneys and garage extension.

Pixel art of an ancient stone fortress, where walls whisper tales etched by time, standing sentinel over secrets long buried. Grand trees rise like pillars of nature, their emerald arms cradling mysteries only the earth knows. A colossal tree wraps around the structure, its twisting branches a dance of life and stone, each leaf a story untold. At the entrance, twin pillars reach towards the sky, their presence echoing through the corridors of history. In the heart of the courtyard, a pool mirrors the heavens, its blue-green depths holding a floating riddle - a tiny enigma on water's surface. The air is thick with the silence of symbols, carvings that speak in the language of shadows. A pedestal at the entrance bears a creature, half-remembered, half-imagined, where reality and myth converge. The land itself breathes, each stone and leaf a note in the symphony of antiquity, every shadow a chapter waiting to be read. The image has a CRT filter applied.

It wasn't going anywhere, the mountain.

No matter what you said to it, no matter what names you called it, what slurs you cast upon it, it did not bow down, droop its head, slink away, acquiesce in your opinion.

It just remained: strong, determined, immovable.
