  2. "Spanish Landscape with Mountains," Dora Carrington, c. 1924.

    It may surprise you, but this seemingly innocuous landscape is considered a work of Surrealism.

    Carrington (1893-1932) worked mostly as a designer and illustrator in her life, didn't exhibit, and really didn't become famous for her painting until after her death. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and was most famous for her unconventional but loving relationship with critic Lytton Strachey.

    She loved traveling in Spain and was deeply impressed by the scenery there. Here he have orange hills with cacti, and some tiny travelers that seem a bit out of perspective. But it's the hills in the middle distance that attract attention; they're the color and texture of human skin and are very evocative of breasts. In her work she sometimes is noted as making the personal public, and she is doing so here.

    In recent decades she has become recognized as a significant artist and has been the subject of multiple retrospectives, biographies, and the film "Carrington" where she was played by Emma Thompson.

    From the Tate Gallery, London.

  4. On our walks we often pop into St Michael's #Church in Berwick, Sussex, known for its stunning decor painted during #WW2 by the conscientious-objecting, loose-living, sexually-swinging locals of the #BloomsburyGroup including #author and the sister of #VirginiaWoolf, Vanessa Bell, the well known #author and #artist Duncan Grant,and Quentin Bell.

    Four images here capture #spring, #summer, #autumn and #winter in #Sussex. I absolutely love them.

  5. 3/5 In ‘AI Art and Its Impact on Artists’, the #human is set up in a conventional dialectical contrast with the #nonhuman machine that is #artificialintelligence through the robotic insistence that #generative AI systems do not have agency and ‘are not artists’. #Art is rather a ‘uniquely human activity’. It is connected ‘specifically to human culture and experience’: those continually evolving ‘customs, beliefs, meanings, and habits, including those habits of aesthetic production, supplied by the larger culture’.

    Declarations of this nature should perhaps come as no surprise. ‘AI Art and Its Impact on Artists’ is a text that derives its understanding of art and aesthetics in the age of AI in part from liberal, humanist figures who were writing in the first few decades of the 20th century: namely, the philosopher and reformer of liberal arts education John Dewey and Clive Bell, a representative of #BloomsburyGroup liberalism.
