Highly recommend Guy Delisle’s new graphic “novel” about Muybridge. Beautifully designed book—complete with three flick books embedded within. Covers Muybridge’s colourful life, but also a great primer on early photography, magic lanterns, animation & film. History at a gallop! #ArtHistory #Film

Having a great time in York at AAH 2025. Lucky enough to be part of a really good panel yesterday, and it’s not often that the co-chairs are so invested in their panel that they hand-make a beautiful object for attendees. Impressive effort indeed! #ArtHistory

Folks forget this is what the Fly of the original short story might have looked like.
We all grew up with the movie(s), so the whole insect/feline/human mixup isn't part of it.

One of the fun things about seeking out original magazine covers is noting how things like library stamps and address labels are in dialogue with the cover illustration… here, for example, they seem to add trompe-l’oeil elements to Rockwell’s canvas, papers, etc. #ArtHistory

Watching The Substance prompted me to consider the relative paucity of nosebleeds in #arthistory. Apart from body horror films & some contemporary examples, Veronese’s Christ in the House of Levi is one of the few to come to mind. So I was happy to find this. www.bustle.com/articles/193...
The Strangest Beliefs About Nosebleeds In History, Because Getting Your Period Is Basically The Same Thing, Right?
Many of us have suffered from a nosebleed at some point in our lives; they're very common but not actually serious in most cases. An epistaxis, as they're known in medical terms, is usually caused by ...

Random observation: Now seems to take at least two weeks for a letter to get from the U.S. to the UK and vice versa, and often as long as a month. Not sure which country is delaying things more, but my guess is that it’s the U.S. but, hey, for a small fortune you can always fedex things.
