this wild Wolfgang Tillmans is two overprinted posters in one, from Fragile, his 2018 show in Kinshasa, and it is either a printer's proof of some kind, or the first example of a signed edition of 300 to appear on the internet, at an auction in Antwerp next month greg.org/archive/2025...

I'm just a guy who teaches art history, but I have learned this: every moment, of every day, I get to choose what I put out into the world. Will it be guided by love, kindness & compassion, or anger, hostility & destructiveness? I'm not always successful, but I know which direction I try to go

I saw it at the Getty, and it was really fantastic. One painting I particularly loved was this study for his Paris Street, Rainy Day, which I prefer to the celebrated final version (at the Art Institute of Chicago) for both its sketchy rendering & expanse of empty cobblestones in foreground

Un cryptogramme musical faisant partie de la décoration du "studiolo" d'Isabelle d'Este, qu'on peut s'amuser à voir comme un très lointain ancêtre de Schulhoff ou John Cage, puisqu'il s'agit d'une portée composée entièrement de silences

The self-portrait in the painting looks remarkably like from a later century, maybe a 19th-century Sherlock Holmes / Scholar?
Born on this day in 1616, in Florence, Carlo Dolci. Another painter for the Medici, almost a century later than Pontormo! Here, his self-portrait. Holding his self-portrait, 1674.

2/2 There she sits, a genius utterly stymied: Melancholy I, by genius Albrecht Durer in 1514. An infinitely rich creation about being unable to create.

Rhinocerus...
Rhinoceros. Visited Lisbon in 1515, died en route to Italy, Dürer never saw it, but his fabulous woodcut made it famous for centuries. Pretty good going!

"Damp swells the wood, furs the kettle, rusts the iron, rots the stone. So gradual is the process, that it is not until we pick up some chest of drawers, or coal scuttle, and the whole thing drops to pieces in our hands, that we suspect even that the disease is at work."
