Random Specific Thoughts @myrandomspecificthoughts.wordpress.com@myrandomspecificthoughts.wordpress.com ·Colours of Egmore
Egmore, a historic neighbourhood in Chennai, India, is known for its colonial-era architecture, busy railway junction, roadside artists, and markets overflowing with colour. The railway station here has been a major travel hub for over a century, once one of the key gateways connecting colonial Madras to the rest of South India, long before Chennai had its current name.
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
― Friedrich NietzscheHe holds my hands softly and places the hemispherical drum in my open palm.
“What are they called?”
“Oh, just happy drums,” he tells me. “Feel closely,” and he begins tapping on them, and the loveliest notes come forth. “Do you feel the vibrations?” he asks me, smiling as I nod back.
“That is music we create.”
He leaves me holding it and shows me his wares: numerous drums in various shapes, sizes and motifs; some catering to hippies, others to Buddhists, many to free souls and several to children, with happy trees, blue waves and lavender poppies.
He taps across his wares, and several notes ring out in succession. He smiles as strangers turn toward him, inspecting the source of this lovely noise in the bustling Saturday Egmore crowd. Softly, and with the attentiveness only an artist possesses, he places different drums into their hands and watches their faces change as they realise the vibrations they feel are translated to the music soothing their hearts.
He spreads his arms again, exhibiting his colourful wares — bold reds and greens, some with golden borders, others with silver. They sit in neat rows, descending in size. What a luxury it is to not be afraid of colours, I think.
Beside him, his companion’s stall swayed gently beneath the tarpaulin roof — rows of cloth puppets suspended by red strings, alongside home decorations, miniature autorickshaws and elephants, all just as strikingly vivid. Crimson, saffron, turquoise and deep violet spilt across their skirts in mirrors, sequins and gold-threaded patterns, while bright yellows and glowing blacks flashed beneath the dim shelter of the stall.
Colours of Egmore, photos by me.Their painted faces wear fixed expressions beneath large black eyes heavily lined with kohl, and their shiny attire and jingling trimmings catch the light whenever the hot Chennai wind drifts through. Dancers and singers and village women and puppeteers hung frozen mid-performance, as though an entire travelling theatre has paused beneath the blistering Egmore heat — a world of their own, within a world of his own.
“…and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
― Vincent Willem van GoghThoughtfully yours,

"...a sparkling gem of mythic invention and wonder.” --PW
SHADOWBRIDGE is a world of stories—-stories gathered and performed by Leodora, a young shadow-puppeteer who travels the linked spans of Shadowbridge. She does not yet realize that tales she collects might attract unwelcome attention. . . that there might be some creatures who do not want their stories told.

A WALK ALONG COLONIAL CREEK LINK WITH KARA NEUFEGLISE
When deciding the location for our walk, drama teacher Kara Neufeglise knew they wanted to be close to water. We began at the Claude Dubrick trailway along the Grand River in Waterloo. When muddy conditions and fallen logs required us to turn back, we moved to Colonial Creek Link in the Eastbridge neighbourhood, still following the water.

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable.”*…
Claude Monet, Caricature of Léon Manchon, 1858.… Still, there are bills to be paid. Mathilde Montpetit (and here) on how the young Claude Monet made bank…
At the age of fifteen, Claude Monet was, by his own account, one of the most successful artists in Le Havre. Crowds would gather in the Norman port city to gawk at the pictures he sold through a framing shop: not paintings of haystacks or of the sea or water lilies, but slightly cruel caricatures of local bigwigs and minor celebrities. He had already learned to commercialize, charging his customers 20 francs (around 200€ in today’s money). “If I had continued”, he claimed to an interviewer in Le Temps almost fifty years later, “I would have been a millionaire.”
Spurred by profits, the young Monet was productive, creating up to seven or eight of these caricatures a day; a small collection of them is now held at the Art Institute of Chicago, most donated by the former mayor Carter Harrison IV (1860–1953). The French art historian Rodolphe Walter has claimed that his caricatures constituted a “clandestine apprenticeship”, the first attempts by a son of Le Havre’s bourgeois shipbuilders to make his way in the art world.
The earliest are anonymous: the identities of The Man in the Small Hat or The Man with the Big Cigar are now lost, although the framing shop devotees may well have been able to name them. Some of the works are imitations, like the 1859 drawing of the French journalist August Vacquerie (1819–1895) that Monet seems to have copied from Nadar (1820–1910), probably the period’s most famous caricaturist.
Monet’s own 1858 caricature of Léon Manchon, the treasurer of Le Havre’s Société des amis des arts, captures his subject’s appearance but also, in the background, both his love of the arts and his work as a notary. Most fantastical is the 1858 caricature of Jules Didier (1831–1914), which shows the 1857 winner of the Prix de Rome as a “Butterfly Man” being led on a leash by a dog. Monet scholars remain divided as to the symbolic meaning of the iconography, though more obviously derisive is the drawing of a dejected fellow applicant to an 1858 Le Havre art subsidy, Henri Cassinelli. Monet has captioned it “Rufus Croutinelli”: a slightly forced pun on “croute”, meaning a daub of paint. Monet didn’t receive the subsidy either.
Sixty-year-old Monet’s claims about how he could have made his young fortune probably had more to do with his later difficulties in selling Impressionism than the actual fortunes to be made in portraits-charge, but it was the roughly 2,000 francs (20,000€) from selling these caricatures that allowed him to, against his father’s wishes, move to Paris and begin training as an artist. (He also received a pension from his wealthy aunt Marie-Jeanne Lecadre, with whom he had been living since his mother’s death in 1857.)
Perhaps it helped him in other ways as well. In the Le Temps interview, Monet claimed that it was while admiring his admirers at the framing shop window that he first encountered the work of his mentor Eugène Boudin (1824–1898), whose paintings were also hung there. Boudin would later take him en plein air for the first time. Perhaps, too, there’s something in the quickness of the caricature that speaks to what Impressionism would become — a desire to capture not just the literal appearance of a thing, but its true essence…

Re: the other end of Monet’s career, readers in (or visiting) the Bay Area might appreciate “Monet and Venice,” over a hundred works– mostly the fruits of Monet’s only visit to the City of Canals, but spiced with Venetian views from artists including Renoir, Sargent, and Canaletto– on display at the de Young Museum in San Francisco through July 26.

As we cherish cartoons, we might might send pointedly-insightful birthday greetings to Peter Fluck; he was born on this date in 1941. An artist, caricaturist, and puppeteer, he was half of the partnership known as Luck and Flaw (with Roger Law), creators of the epochal British satirical TV puppet show Spitting Image.
The show ran from 1984 through 1996. (It was revived, with a different crew, in 2020.) Here’s a BBC appreciation of the original…

My latest puppet building experiment is a homage to the "creepy caricature" aesthetic.
It’s strongly inspired by the grotesque, satirical puppet legends of early Spitting Image and Les Guignols puppet caricature styles as well as The Muppets.🔗 Full Linktree & Socials: https://linktr.ee/officialericcrooks

The 1990 Total Recall is one of my favorite movies, and I didn't know David Cronenberg was the original director for it and created the character of Kuato and all the mutants (although it makes perfect sense). The puppet itself was created by Rob Bottin.
