Desultory nonsense (heavy emphasis).
I curse, a lot, I’m sorry?

This is all just mental static, pay no mind.
Day late. Typical, but still so worth it.

Cole Phillips? I found something online titling it “They Return” c. 1919, but can’t confirm.

What’s the best one liner in movie history?

Adult content again? I mean yeah, but - painting?

Oh well, here’s Vergil’s observant stare that I find irresistible via William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s Dante and Virgil In Hell c. 1850

(Reminder to self to finish reading this. Ugh, such a hilarious burn book but also, meh.)

Russian realist painters - *throws hands in the air*

Ig thirteen months of winter is a recipe for brilliant art. (This goes for the writers, composers, etc, too.)

I haven’t even begun with my architecture obsession yet, have I? This feels like a place to start. The scale, the clarity of light, the view - I love the sense of atmosphere in this piece.

Now to research if here still exists.

Of cures, my favorite are oceans and seas.

Specifically Bellow’s visions of glorious tempests. Here’s a few I like best.

Something got stirred up in me and idk if it was the romantic letter read aloud or the way my body senses the oncoming season, but the urge to smash my heart on the floor repeatedly right now is strong.

Sargent’s hands, enough to drive you crazy.

(& apparently him to. He grew to loathe portraits and escaped into his massively brilliant watercolors.)

The blue balls this author just gave me ommmgggg.

Now I remember why Piranesi fell on its face for me.

Tom Brightwind started out as one of the best stories - short or otherwise - I’ve read in ages and then…. AND THEN.

She just can’t write endings. (mho). For why.

Ah, shit. I just slipped back into my romanticism art bullshit. This isn’t going to be healthy. Stay tuned, once I successfully miss this work deadline I’m going to unleash my archives on here.

I’m supposed to be editing a big project for work.

So of course I’m just scrolling through art instead feeling very resentful that I’m not on a train sucking down Darjeeling:
