  2. There is a regular art history narrative of the recovery of a woman's reputation & work from the previous wife-of-artist-X depiction....

    this week it is the wonderful work of Tirzah Garwood (subject of an exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery from next month).... enjoy.

  3. Just a reminder that even before there was generative AI, we still had weird-looking pictures. It just was more effort to find them.

    Some weird animals, from the archives of the (US) National Library of Medicine's History of Medicine division.

    The rhino picture is, in fact, a whole THING.

  4. Mixed my #pyrography up with my #tarot cards today. Making some card holders covered in this freehand, intricate pattern work I enjoy doing so much. They take around 4 hours to make. I’ll put them in my shop once I finish a few more & rest my thumb a bit.

  5. "Laziness (La paresse)," Félix Vallotton, 1896.

    A nude woman relaxes on a bed, reaching out to a playful cat. Vallotton was one of the Nabis, a school of art I love. This woodcut is a great example of the Nabi love of pattern and intimate scenes. This is the sort of lazing we all love to do.

    From the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA.
