#art #history: i promised myself that this year would be the one during which i paid tribute to the revolutionary, frida kahlo (born #otd in 1907), & then i was too busy to do her any sort of justice. not only have i rushed her portrait, but i've also had no time to write up the sort of blurb that she merits. she was a death-defying, genre-spanning communist powerhouse & diego was punching waaaaaaaay up. :)

#OTD in 1782.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail premiered in Vienna with the composer conducting, after which Emperor Joseph II anecdotally remarked that it had "too many notes".

The German libretto is by Gottlieb Stephanie, based on Christoph Friedrich Bretzner's Belmont und Constanze, oder Die Entführung aus dem Serail.

Streetartwall. A small stencil depicting a small branched bonsai tree in a pot has been sprayed onto an old yellowish house wall. But if you look closer, you can also see the silhouette of a little girl with a ponytail sitting on a swing under a trunk and swinging. There is some grass in front of the mural.

Streetart. On a gray sidewalk with a few spots, a giraffe (named Margaret) and a gray ground flap with 3D effect were drawn on the ground with chalk. The spots on the ground were integrated into the drawing. Now the head of a contented-looking giraffe looks up at us from a hole with two open flaps. Title: "Margaret lives in a basement
apartment with the best possible view."

French dramatic mezzo-soprano, composer and pianist Pauline Viardot was born #OTD in 1821.

Viardot made her operatic debut in 1839 in London. She performed in a wide range of operas, including works by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and Meyerbeer. Viardot was a muse and collaborator to many composers and writers, including Ivan Turgenev. She was influential in the music community, promoting works by young composers such as Johannes Brahms and Gabriel Fauré.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Viardot

Portrait de Pauline Viardot (née Pauline Garcia, 1821-1910), mezzo-soprano et compositrice.

Pauline Viardot is depicted as an elegant woman in her prime.
She has striking, expressive eyes and a composed demeanor.
Her hair is styled in a manner typical of the mid-19th century, possibly in an updo or with intricate curls framing her face.

Viardot is dressed in period-appropriate attire, likely a dark, elegant gown made of luxurious fabric. Her dress may feature lace or embroidery, reflecting her status and refined taste. She might be adorned with subtle jewelry, such as earrings or a brooch, enhancing her sophisticated appearance.

🦣 Artist: #AlicePasquini in City: #Pietrafitta /Via Papa Giovanni XXIII/ Museo Paleontologico "Luigi Boldrini" Italy 🇮🇹 06/2024 - Title: "Il Mondo Sottosopra" (The World Upside Down" / "Die Welt auf den Kopf gestellt") - #Streetart #Art #Urbanart #Artist #Mural #Mammoth #Mastodon #Palaeontology #GoodMorning !☕🥐

Streetartwall. Two small children playing with mammoth figures were sprayed/painted on the yellow exterior walls of a modern low-rise building (a museum). The detailed and finely drawn mural shows a girl sitting on the floor with a blue mini mammoth in the foreground, then two more mammoths in green and yellow on the long side and a little boy with glasses playing with a pink mammoth on the adjacent wall. A wonderful idea for the entrance to a paleontological museum.

Beach Love is a handmade abstract acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. Floating on a pale yellow background is a heart shape in vibrant shades of pink, turquoise blue and yellow. It's like looking through a heart-shaped window onto a bright yellow sandy beach, beyond which is the shimmering blue sea under a bright pink sunset sky.

I've created & uploaded video previews of a few more #LinearMemory variations & recommend the download versions for best quality (HD720p @ 60fps)... The actual piece is a realtime (browser based), endless and non-repeating animation. The only things left now are further optimizations and making it dynamically adaptive to different screen/print sizes...

A dark, dingy laboratory with a high ceiling and pipes running along it. To the left, dominating the room, is a huge vertical glass tank with a rounded top that looks sort of like a wine bottle without a neck. Suspended in the tank, one glowing hand pressed against the glass, is the blurry form of a fluorescent greenish humanoid shape. A person stands to the right of the tank, looking at a glowing white tablet. Above, a long fluorescent bulb casts a lurid green light over the scene. Two computer monitors are bolted to the wall. One is displaying a green screen; one is displaying a blue screen. Guess which one is running Windows.

🙄 Artist: #LesMursOntDesOreilles / #LOreille in City: #Paris 15éme /Square Paul Gilot, Rue de la Convention / France 🇫🇷 07/2024 - Title: "Tourner de l'oeil" ("Rolling eyes" / "Augen verdrehen") - #Art #Streetart #Eyes #Artist #Mural #Pasteup #UrbanArt #Mood #GoodMorning !☕🥐

Streetart. A pretty paste-up of a lady in a rococo dress has been stuck onto a beige-colored park wall. She is wearing a large blonde wig, a blue hair bow and a blue dress with a lavish décolleté. Her cheeks are flushed and she looks up with a strangely twisted gaze. This is also the title: "Rolling eyes". Definitely a pasteup for all occasions.
Info: "L'oreille" is a French street artist who has been pasting up cities with self-designed, cut-out ears with her project "Les murs ont des oreilles" - (The walls have ears) - since around 2018. Recently, the paste-ups have been getting bigger and bigger. Whimsical works of art, full of poetry and humor.

💔Artist: #LaboratorioFuoritema / #DanieleBiazzo in City: #Ragusa / Corso Italia 19/ Italy 🇮🇹 - Title: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" 🎵 ("Liebe wird uns auseinanderreißen") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #CatchyTune #Ohrwurm #Music #JoyDivision #Artist

Streetartwall. On an old green wooden door next to a pink patterned wall, an artist has painted a beautiful mural with a figure as an illustration to the song title "Love Will Tear Us Apart". A male figure, dressed in a green T-shirt and with blond hair, stands there and his head is "dismembered" into many individual parts. The eyes, nose and mouth are interrupted by red lines and slightly offset. Above this is the speech bubble with the text. A beautiful mural, fitting for a favorite song of a whole generation.
Note: ...When routine bites hard and ambition is low. And resentment rides high but emotions won′t grow. And we're changing our ways, taking different roads. Well, love, love will tear us apart again... - Ian Curtis -

A person stands on the porch of a small house in early morning. The person is holding a cup of coffee and looking at the sky, or where the sky should be. The sky is the blue of a Windows "blue screen of death"; a giant white frowny-face hovers like a celestial object. It is going to be a Day. It is going to be several of them.
