歷經三個月的緩慢閱讀，終於把人類大命運(Homo Deus The Brief History of Tomorrow)啃完….
讀後有一種深沉的感傷，作者Yuval Noah Harari在2015年就發表此書，而2025年此時閱讀本書，周遭很多的訊息都為繞著大數據，ＡＩ人工智慧，演算法.....感受到哈拉瑞書裡預言其中一種未來人類結局的可能性會成真....

如果把人生所有都交付於給演算法，那生而為人的我還剩下什麼？
未來我們會不會也像尼安德塔人一樣，從世界的舞台謝幕？

剛好颱風前夕....想了很多後還是去河堤邊散步放空一下...

颱風前夕的乾溪河堤邊。

One of my first paintings with color back in late 2022. I had only done monochromatic drawings most of my life, and wanted to teach myself color and painting. This is basically a colored drawing, and a big first step! It's called, "Cozy Cat."

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.

A Long-Lost Landscape Painted by a Teenage J.M.W. Turner Was Found Hiding in Plain Sight

As the art world celebrates Turner’s 250th birthday this year, The Rising Squall offers new insight into the artist’s early years and development.

J. M. W. Turner’s c.1798–99 self-portrait housed at Tate Britain.

This oil-on-canvas painting depicts Turner at about 23 – 24 years old, in a three-quarter, half-length view.

His face and upper body are brightly illuminated, emerging from a featureless brown background.

Turner portrays himself as a prosperous Georgian gentleman: a dark coat with the collar turned up, layered waistcoats (one silver, one blue), a crisp white shirt, and a tied cravat.

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.

How Dante Gabriel Rossetti & John Everett Millais Founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais were among the most important figures of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Proserpine, 1874, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, with Jane Morris as model.

Proserpine stands in a shadowy corridor, with a faintly illuminated archway behind her that hints at the underworld’s confines.

She holds a single pomegranate, from which she has taken a bite — the fruit that bound her to the underworld because, by eating it, she was fated to return each year.

Huguenot lovers on St. Bartholomew's Day by John Everett Millais.

The painting shows a young Huguenot couple in 16th-century France, just before the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre of 1572, when thousands of French Protestants (Huguenots) were slaughtered by Catholic mobs.

They stand in a secluded garden corner, ivy and stone walls around them.

The young man wears a blue-gray doublet and brown hose, while the woman wears a soft pink gown with white sleeves.

The girl, deeply distressed, is trying to tie a white Catholic armband (the badge) around her lover’s arm.

Who Was J.M.W. Turner and Why Was He So Important?

The son of a barber, Turner (1775–1851) entered London’s Royal Academy Schools in 1789, where he spent his time copying plaster casts of classical sculptures before moving on to life studies of male nudes.
