Georges Rouault, The Italian, 1938

From the Tate Gallery:

Little is known about the subject of this work, but the painting is similar in style and composition to a number of frontal views of the heads of male and female clowns painted by the artist in 1937 and 1938. Rouault rarely painted portraits, preferring instead to use the human figure as a symbol of certain moral qualities or, more generally, to express the sufferings of mankind. The woman in this painting wears modern dress, but the treatment of her head distantly recalls traditional religious pictures, particularly Byzantine icons.

mamisgarden:

whenever i go to buy food, i find myself looking at the fooditems from a gardeners perspective….could i grow this? is it treated in ways that make sprouting impossible? what will the plant look like?
I get really excited when i find exotics to try out..like taro/eddo root for example. I know i tried to grow it a long time ago, but i cant recall the results. I doubt they were anyway near the above picture, else i would´ve remembered!

I hope the roots i bought aren´t genetically manipulated.
Sign and help the people of Hawaii protect their taro from the gmo-maffia!

ELLEN JANTZEN: GHOST WRITER

”(…) each typewriter has a story to tell. Was it used to write a novel, poems or letters to editors? Was it used purely for business? Which users are still alive and which users have passed on?

I feel that more than most artifacts, the typewriter has a very personal connection with the user on a physical level (touching) AND on an emotional/intellectual level. The act of writing, even if only transcribing shorthand, draws upon the inner world of the typist.

In this series I am invoking the spirit of past users of each typewriter I photographed.” - Ellen Jantzen

I bought a beautiful typewriter from the 1930s-40s a few days ago, a Naumann Ideal Modell ET, from the inital owner who told me some funny stories about it. Since then I enjoy writing postcards & letters with it, good old letters…

Playing with words, soothed by the sound of the type bars smashing against paper, leaving their mark, transporting a message; and it’s wonderful, you know, to have an addressee out there who’s happy to receive these analogue creations, your words filled with soul, paper as their carrier.
