accordionistas, assemble!
(i've finally finished (for now) my accordion socialism t-shirt design.)
#art #illustration #accordion #music #socialism #marx

digital pencil & ink illustration features two accordions, side by side, being played by disembodied hands.
above the accordion on the left is written 'from each' in uppercase letters. above the accordion on the right is written 'to each' in uppercase letters. between the two accordions are dotted squiggly lines with arrows pointing to the opposite accordion. under the top line, it reads, in cursive lowercase, 'accordion to ability' & above the bottom squiggly, it reads, in cursive lowercase, 'accordion to need' (so, from left to right, words form the marxist maxim with a twist: 'from each, accordion to ability, to each, accordion to need').
below the illustration, on the bottom left of the page, is the text 'accordion socialism' in uppercase letters.
the art is in black & white.

[short thread follows]
#debbieHarry #music #musique #illustration #newJersey #nyc

digital ink & pencil illustration of the illustrious & industrious musician, debbie harry.
here, she throws a piercing look straight at her audience, her trademark blonde barnet streaked with black.
above debbie is a question she, herself, posed: 'how can one be a woman & not be a feminist?'
colours are gold, cream, black, shades of peach & a tiny amount of blue (in debbie's eyes).

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.

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

6 Women Artists Overshadowed by Their Husbands

https://www.thecollector.com/women-artists-overshadowed-by-husbands/

Nightfall in St. Cloud (Abend im Park)
by Gabriele Münter

#art #femaleartists

"Münter quickly built these studies of the Parisian countryside with overlapping wet-on-wet strokes of electric yellow, blue, orange, green, and pink. Although the images are highly abstracted, even illegible in places, short touches deftly suggest tree branches and foliage, long horizontal brushstrokes indicate swaths of sky and parkland, and diagonal strokes mark recessions in space. Münter’s non-naturalistic palette and her embrace of abstraction signal a turn toward Expressionism, a movement that espoused communication of the artist’s inner life through art." - Internet Archive

Across The Bay

This stretch of water has a beautiful name, the Sound of Iona. A mile wide channel between the isles of Mull and Iona. Taken with a toy camera this shot has the look of a cheap 70's postcard. Splendid.

You hear the water before you see it, that soft, swishing sound as it falls down the short drop to the pool below.

"What IS that?" you stop and ask yourself, then keep walking until suddenly you see it, this clean cascade of movement, surrounded by lush greenery.

There is a cool mist in the air, as well as a calmness, and you stop to fully experience both.

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.

One of the joys when I lived in London, was going to the Tate (only one then) & walking into a gallery where a Turner was displayed — the light! Wonderful! A friend introduced me to Turner, as well as the pleasure of returning to museums over & over & not trying to consume everything all at once. "Museums go to your feet," she would say, if you try to take everything in on one visit.

What a great (re)discovery—

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.
