The most fucked up part about our current oligarchic dystopia is that the concept of money only exists in our minds. It’s part of a social contract dreamt up by the human imagination, and that contract has been null and void for decades. Billionaires are a cancer on our collective reality.

A Hotel Room.  American painter John Singer Sargent.  1906-1907.  Private Collection.  American impressionist painting of a hotel room, open suitcase on the floor.  To the right, a table draped in a tablecloth.  A window and curtains in the background.  Wonderful use of light and brushstrokes to show the sun streaming through the shuttered window.

By the time James Hamilton Hay painted 'The Falling Star,' (1909) many European artists had popularised the idea a painting could function as a visual poem, something to be felt rather than read literally - a falling star was a common device in Victorian and Edwardian art.

Trump’s cult of personality will be gone sooner than later. What happens when the pendulum swings back to the left as hard as ever because these Nazis have no fucking clue what they’re doing?

'Man Reading.' (1904) John Singer Sargent's portraits balance looseness and definition, what might be called Old Master-casual; faces and hands rendered just tightly enough to stay alive. The sitter is Nicola d'Inverno, Sargent's Italian valet and a frequent model.

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it." @jimlee.bsky.social speaking very passionately at Retailer Day. #nycc

One critic, writing in 1911 (the date of this work) commented, George Clausen 'gives us out of very simple elements the most perfect nocturnes, these mark a new and definite advance in his power in taking complete hold of a subject and making it his own.'

'Miss Collins.' (1924) William Beckwith McInnes won the Archibald Prize (Australia's prestigious award for portraiture) seven times. Writing in defence of his style of realism: 'in Australia we have not been bitten by Cubism or Futurism or other isms … and I am glad of it'.

In Europe, all swans were white, & the expression “black swans” was used to signify a virtually impossible contradiction in terms ~ until de Vlamingh's Dutch expedition actually saw them when exploring the Swan River, Western Australia in 1696-97. Here’s a 1790 depiction of one

Gustav Klimt’s brilliance and originality as a draughtsman was only really recognised after his death because during his lifetime he hardly ever sold his drawings and never thought to exhibit them. This work is from around 1897.

In 1891, the year John Singer Sargent painted this study for the Boston Public Library mural project, his portraits were revered more as paintings than as representations of the sitter. Critics described him as a living old master who towered above his contemporaries.
