In painting this picture, Klee had in mind his friend Adolf Busch, a violinist known for his vigorous playing.
I think the thick black bars Klee first used in his art a year earlier work well to represent music visually.

The Romans called it Floralia and the Celts named it Beltane, but since medieval times in Britain it has been known as May Day, a celebration of the coming of summer complete with maypoles, morris dancing and gathering flowers as in Laura Knight's work from 1910.

So that in a forest
even a dead tree casts a shadow
.
and in the spring the rabbits find it
and build their nest inside
and have their young
and their young will live safely inside the dead tree
So that nothing is wasted in nature or in love. - Laura Gilpin

If you are lucky enough to be approached by a fox and are given an egg, keep it safe. This is a huge honour, a great gift.
This may also be the right moment to whisper your own momentous news or secrets to them, which they will pass on to the matriarch of the fox clan who will hold them safely 🦊🌀🌘

'Egg and Coffee Pot.' (1980) Peter Kelly was particularly fond of using silverware as the main focus of his still lifes; the contrasting shapes, and reflections of different types of silver provided endless possibilites to show off his treatment of light, tone and form.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

I read Less Than Zero when it came out. It captured the nihilism of the '80s pretty well, I thought at the time. In some ways, it was a prelude to the awfulness of today. People are still afraid to merge. “I Really Don’t Care, Do You?”

“Less than Zero was originally published in 1985. I have a distinct memory that when I got to the end, I threw my copy out a window.”
