Theodorus van Hoytema
November, 1907
'I am nothing but a cube of sugar:
I know that I melt in the heat,
And I know to disappear.
The moment that you come is when I leave.'
You can watch Rosalia's new single, a collaboration with Icelandic composer Daníel Bjarnason and the LSO, on YouTube.

Black and white wader, black top of head, few black patches on top of wings and tail, and black beak. Rest is white but depicted only by a bit of shadow.

Today I've been trying to see how little paint I can put on paper but still produce a bird😀. Here's one version.

A vanities still life painting, featuring at more or less center a human skull draped in a flower garland, sitting on a marble table or ledge. Surrounding it are flowers, a tiny framed miniature painting of a woman, some papers cover in handwriting, a pocket watch, a bouquet of flowers, two oranges or tangerines, one partially eaten; a stone tablet carved with characters in Hebrew (the 10 Commandments. maybe?); a thick book with a chain around the pages; and a small decorated casket filled with jewelry and gold coins. At the right edge of the painting, a sunflower peeks over the tablet. At the far left, a window is visible, through which the viewer sees a cloudy dark sky.

Painting by William Ladd Taylor. Title: The Old Clock on the Stairs. A woman who looks as if she might be a ghost is walking down the stairs. White dress and veil. Two figures with flowers behind her on top of the stairs.
'When I was dead, my spirit turned
To seek the much-frequented house:
I passed the door, and saw my friends
Feasting beneath green orange boughs'
-Christina Rossetti

Where the wild things are - a Pine Marten in a ravine on the west coast of Scotland.

Well worth a listen:
"Sometimes a wild god comes to the table.
He is awkward and does not know the ways
Of porcelain, of fork and mustard and silver"

This piece is unique among Hilliard's miniatures, because the sitter is placed against a black background.

A delightful visit to New York's Museum of Modern Art with our cousins Marta and Bill and their son Burkely. The work that spoke most to me today -- maybe because I've been reading Proust -- was 'Embroidery' by Édouard Vuillard (1895-96). This is a detail; I'll post the full canvas in Comments.

Vincent Van Gogh “The Harvest” (1888) • Under an azure sky, the artist painted a half-mowed wheat field, ladders, a haystack, several carts, and a simple fence. In the background, a reaper is working with a scythe. • During this wildly productive week, VVG finished 10 paintings and five drawings (!) before an unusually heavy storm prematurely ended the late summer harvest in the south of France. • I did question whether VVG really used a variation on the modern slang expression “I killed it” and checked with the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. They confirm. 🤷♀️

Do you feel the warmth radiating from this portrayal of farmers at harvest time?
Vincent considered this one of his most successful paintings. He wrote to his brother Theo, "This canvas absolutely kills all the rest."

A day where law and justice feel far apart. But criminal law really struggles to function at 53 years of remove, when so many witnesses are dead. Injustice was assured when it took this long for the state to recognise its wrongdoing and start proceedings:
