"Quero ser a pintora do meu país."
(I want to be the painter of my country)

Brazilian painter, draftswoman, and translator Tarsila do Amaral died #OTD in 1973.

As a member of the Grupo dos Cinco, Tarsila is also considered a major influence in the modern art movement in Brazil, alongside Anita Malfatti, Menotti Del Picchia, Mário de Andrade, and Oswald de Andrade. She was instrumental in the formation of the aesthetic movement, Antropofagia (1928–1929).

Perpetual Movement: Francis Picabia’s 391 Review (1917–1924).

Francis Picabia, like his close friend and collaborator Marcel Duchamp, was a man of many names. While Duchamp famously went by his feminine alter ego Rrose Sélavy and signed his 1917 Fountain with the pseudonym R. Mutt, Picabia adopted numerous aliases across his literary and artistic practice.

This year, I started a daily doodling practice, one page a day, spending a quick 10 to 15 minutes each day. The idea was that by the end of the year, I would have a visual record of being present. It is a grounding ritual, proof of showing up every day, and a practice where my hands move and my mind settles. I will continue sharing some pictures in the thread below. 🧵

Swedish painter and photographer Oscar Gustave Rejlander died #OTD in 1875.

His most famous work, "The Two Ways of Life" (1857), was a large-scale composite image made from over 30 negatives, depicting a moral allegory between vice and virtue. He worked closely with other pioneers like Henry Peach Robinson and was admired by Charles Darwin, who commissioned him to create photographs for The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).

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

#art #photography

The Two Ways of Life, a moralistic photo montage of Rejlanders own work, 1857.

In 1857 he made his best-known allegorical work, The Two Ways of Life. This was a seamlessly montaged combination print made of thirty-two images in about six weeks.

First exhibited at the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857, the work shows two youths being offered guidance by a patriarch.

Each youth looks toward a section of a stage-like tableaux vivant - one youth is shown the virtuous pleasures and the other the sinful pleasures.

There's something about running your hands through water, feeling its soft coolness flow through your fingers, that is mesmerizing, captivating.

I remember doing it as a kid, because kids do things like that -- we stared at clouds, ran through fields, stood at the edge of a stream and poked at rocks. Did things for no apparent reason, but through that, thought and imagined and wondered.

Her thoughts were gentle, easy, quiet. This was no time for making plans, or worrying about the state of the world, or getting angry about something that someone had said.

This was a time for simply relaxing, being grateful for a hot bath and a warm room, and thinking about pleasant things.

If you have any experience with fences, you know that they need constant upkeep: they sag, drag, lean, break, collapse.

And if you have any experience with rivers, you know that they last a lot longer than fences.
