Jorgen Leth has died.

His verbal and filmic sparring with Lars Von Trier in The Five Obstructions (2003) was a landmark achievement in the history of European modernism. Of European thought in fact.

Constable and the Hay Wain at the National Gallery.

The curators try to say that the English landscape is not timeless but then they include this Constable from 1815. It could be many places in England in 2024.

I was reading Lorrie Moore's I am Homeless, the first half of which is the most perfect writing imaginable, and the second half of which left me completely cold.
