Rembrandt_The_Artist_in_his_studio.jpg

The Artist In His Studio
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn

He died a poor man, was buried in a pauper's grave, so we don't even have a tombstone for one of the greatest artists the world has produced.

By the way, size isn't everything. This painting is tiny! 9 3/4" x 12 1/2"

And....any recommendations from The Horde for museums in the City of Brotherly Love?

19 The Art Museum of Philadelphia, goes without saying. Also on the Parkway is the Barnes Foundation, home to an incredible collection of post-Impressionist artwork. Often overlooked in Philadelphia is the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which showcases American artists who are alumni of that institute. It's worth a tour just for the building.

Posted by: josephistan at February 28, 2017 09:30 AM (7HtZB)

52 Observation the Oneth: The artist looks tiny. If Rembrandt had been more successful in his lifetime maybe he could have hired a whole person instead of a midget to pose for him.

Observation the Tooth: The artist has stepped back from the easel to see how his work looks from a viewing perspective. As the studio is set up, we're probably seeing him from the model's point of view.

This means that most of us (not all, many 'Ettes have surely experienced this) are for the first time in the position of being a pretty naked girl.

I'm on the side that supported the move. Barnes set up his collection to be a public teaching service so regular people could learn about & appreciate art, but Lower Merion Township made it very difficult for people to visit the collection. They had a wonderful treasure there but didn't want anyone else to come see it. So while moving the collection to Philadelphia may have violated the letter of Barnes's will, it was in the spirit of what he envisioned for his collection.

That was a sad story.
The documentary definitely has a viewpoint slanted toward keeping the museum in the way specified in his will (and he was foolish in how he left it). However, even if you don't agree with that, the assortment of greedy state government, non-profit organizations, and local journalists who worked together to get their hands on Barnes' collection is disgusting.

Two lessons: you can't take it with you, and any will can be broken if people really want to get their greedy mitts on your stuff.

That's the thing - it was a private collection, private property. The public doesn't have a right to access a collection just because it is a good one. However, Barnes could have done a better job ensuring it was well taken care of, and having the black college as (partial?) caretaker was not a bright move.

AW Chicken Grill Deluxe averaged 89.4 per cent chicken DNA

McDonald's Country Chicken - Grilled averaged 84.9 per cent chicken DNA

Tim Hortons Chipotle Chicken Grilled Wrap averaged 86.5 per cent chicken DNA

Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich averaged 88.5 per cent chicken DNA

Subway's results were such an outlier that the team decided to test them again, biopsying five new oven roasted chicken pieces, and five new orders of chicken strips.

Those results were averaged: the oven roasted chicken scored 53.6 per cent chicken DNA, and the chicken strips were found to have just 42.8 per cent chicken DNA. The majority of the remaining DNA? Soy.

184 You MUST visit the Barnes. Regardless of what you think about the circumstances of the move, the new building is perfect for the collection. There's an auditorium so you can learn about the history of the collection before you enter, and by inserting small rooms between each of the galleries, Williams and Tsien give you a chance to pause and reset. Otherwise the sheer quantity of masterpieces is overwhelming. Give yourself plenty of time; the museum is small, but the collection is huge.

They are confident that he was buried in Westerkerk, but in a pauper's grave, so no marker.

And the tradition was to empty and reuse those graves, so it is distinctly possible that his remains are not there.

In Doylestown! There are three Mercer buildings there, the museum, his residence at Font Hill, and the Moravian Tile Works (which is oddly missing from the Mercer Museum website).

Mercer was a kook who thought that concrete was the building material of the future, but he pre-dated brutalism so he made fanciful almost Gothic palaces from poured concrete.

Font Hill is now also a museum. When I was ten we lived in an apartment for a couple of months waiting for the house to be finished. Font Hill was in the scary woods behind us. It wasn't open to the public, but the peevish old caretaker woman would show you around for a quarter. I didn't have a quarter the day my friends went so I only got as far as being scared by the old lady at the door.

They told me my room was the one where Ben Franklin slept, although I get the feeling they tell that to all the guests, as there's really no way of knowing. Tiny room with a sloped ceiling above your bed so if you sit up suddenly you conk your noggin. Everything in the joint is historic, including the windows, which you are not allowed to open because they're historic.

The place has an amazing breakfast/brunch included (weekends only) and a way cool rare book/reading room.

336 Target Corporation Stock is even worse than Q4 Earnings Suggest

...the proverbial x-factor with Target's numbers is the impact of the company's decision made last year to
accommodate transgender patrons' bathroom preferences, and the subsequent boycott by members of several conservative
groups. The impact of that decision has been tough to quantify, but most observers agree it's at least part of the reason
Target's top line has been dwindling for most of the past few quarters.

337 More in between the lines on Steyn and crtv.

Like I said, I heard advertising that mentioned Crowder, Levin, and Malkin - but not Steyn - weeks ago. I figured he was cooked then.

But as of 2/24 (which was Friday) he had a column posted saying to watch his show in crtv. That same column said:

We regret that certain subscribers have been having difficulty accessing the show at CRTV in recent days. CRTV Customer Support say:

Due to a technical issue, there was a delay in the post of the episodes. We are trying our hardest to get them posted before the end of the week.

We certainly hope they will honor that commitment to their customers, but the issue is outside our control. Please contact CRTV Customer Support here.


So, crtv was having an issue publishing Steyn's content - whatever the reason - and Steyn pushed people to contact crtv. "We certainly hope they will honor that commitment to their customers..."

Yeah, not sounding real friendly there.

He was a poor man so no, he would not have been considered "trendy." Fashion was confined to the rich and up until the 1950's rich people did not deliberately dress like poor people. Even the genteel poor wore old clothes of good quality. Marlon Brando introduced blue jeans and t-shirts as a fashion statement.

It's a progression thing.

First you turn them off the other party, which means many just stay home. Then you appeal to them with your party, and they start showing up to support you.

I wonder if part of the "stay at home" stage happened in 2016 with the decrease of black turnout from the Obama elections.

Your lady parts (not knowing you personally, but making a guess here) are probably not social constructs. Those are things, like your karyotype. How you represent what you do with those things is (by definition) a social construct.

The sex bits themselves and the biological functions and...errr.... endeavors are not social construction. Their representation in the public sphere is. But again, that isn't a useful piece of information.

From the press release

LAS VEGAS (October 24, 2016) - Media company CRTV has announced the formation of a new digital network uniquely rich with honest and informative conservative content seen nowhere else in any medium anywhere. CRTV brings together top thought-provoking personalities Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn who will share their knowledge, insightful and powerful ideas, stories and entertainment that cannot be found anywhere on television.

"We have partnered with the best thinkers and storytellers out there and given each the resources to design their own show in their own voice on their own custom set reflective of each of their personalities" according to Chris Crane, Chief Content Officer. "When CRTV officially launches in December 2016, subscribers will be able to access new and original shows in development from Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn, joining Mark Levin's highly successful Levin TV".

====================

Early adopters of new stuff tend to spend a lot of money to try out these new things. Creating the analogy with new tech stuff...when Blu Ray and HDDVD were going at it, players and discs were expensive, so it was really just those willing to spend a lot of money to figure out which one to go with. Blu Ray won for a few reasons (some outside of user preference), but the point is the early adopters were the ones spending too much money to sort it out.

Here we have Starbucks and Target buying HDDVD through virtue signaling while most of the rest of the business world is buying Blu Ray by not.

Not a perfect analogy, but I think it's useful.

Posted by: rickb223 at February 28, 2017 10:58 AM (QFqpA)

That's not the same thing.

Phenotype is how the genes are expressed.

Genotype is the genes themselves.

So there are more than two genotypes, but only two phenotypes.

How many times do we have to hear this garbage from supposed smart people. Tax RATE cuts grow the economy and raise more tax revenue. Raising more revenue is not why progressives want tax rate hikes. They want high rates because that gives more control to government over the economy even though revenues decrease.

Now Race, THAT'S a social construct!

Posted by: Tom Servo at February 28, 2017 11:00 AM (V2Yro)

If Gender is a social construct, and this enables you to be whatever the hell you want and objective reality has to realign itself to your whims, and everyone has to praise your bravery, and whatnot...

Then I say, quite obviously, that Class and Privilege are also social constructs, thus do I under the same rules declare that I identify as the Emperor of the Universe.

Having the power of decree befitting my station, I declare that gender exists only as a linguistic device, having as its purpose to describe things based on apparent biological sex or lack thereof. Thus there are only 3 genders, male, female, and neuter; he, she, and it. Furthermore, that anyone attempting to invent new genders and insist that you use their pronouns ought to be laughed at and mocked for not being able to figure out what squishy bits they have.

Problem solved.

Posted by: geoffb5 at February 28, 2017 11:06 AM (d3wbb)

====================

It does depend on which rates are cut and by how much.

If tax rates are above the revenue maximum point, then lowering them to be closer to that point can and probably will generate an increase in tax revenue.

If tax rates are at or below the revenue maximum point, then lowering them even further will generate a decrease in tax revenue.

It all depends on where the individual taxes are.

From the press release

LAS VEGAS (October 24, 2016) - Media company CRTV has announced the formation of a new digital network uniquely rich with honest and informative conservative content seen nowhere else in any medium anywhere. CRTV brings together top thought-provoking personalities Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn who will share their knowledge, insightful and powerful ideas, stories and entertainment that cannot be found anywhere on television.

"We have partnered with the best thinkers and storytellers out there and given each the resources to design their own show in their own voice on their own custom set reflective of each of their personalities" according to Chris Crane, Chief Content Officer. "When CRTV officially launches in December 2016, subscribers will be able to access new and original shows in development from Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn, joining Mark Levin's highly successful Levin TV".

424 Hey, Hollywood geniuses;

While you were applauding for the unlimited entry of Iranians into America (and for your own moral superiority) did it ever occur to you that the statement purportedly written by the Iranian film-maker might have been written by his government?

Do you seriously believe he is free to express any political belief just like you can in America? With his family hostage in Iran?

Maybe that's why they kept him away. Or maybe he does believe what was read for him--I'm sure the Revolutionary government only allows "safe" films and film-makers.

We don't know if those were his words or not. We can't know. And that's the problem. Yet you "artists" applauded anyway.

After I checked into my hotel, somewhere down town, I decided to go for a walk, stretch my legs after the flight. About three in the afternoon. The street in front of the hotel looked pretty nice, shops, restaurants no problems. Only, I noticed all the entries had the metal barriers that roll up during the day and down when you lock up. Not so good.

Got to the end of the block and turned right. Neighborhood went from okay to a little scary at the corner. Walked one more block and turned right again. Immediately stopped, turned around and headed back to the hotel. Evidently the "Tracks" ran right through the hotel, or something.

It isn't meaningful if the question is "What is the usual expectation of the phenotype of XY". It is meaningful if the question is "What is the essential nature of gender." If the latter question is important, and it seems to be, then gender cannot be reduced to karyotype: there have always been people wandering around with androgen insensitivity syndrome who everybody agrees are girls. They look like girs, they act like girls, they think they are girls, and people treat them as girls, and they happen to be infertile (like a lot of girls).

But so what? This does not imply that it is beneficial to ANYONE to regard gender (in general) as either arbitrary or fluid.

478 RE: 19: "Barnes Foundation, home to an incredible collection of post-Impressionist artwork."

It's mainly Impressionist artwork and a few post-impressionists. You will see more Renoirs here than anywhere else in the world. The French leave with erections that last days after seeing this collection.

Barnes bought the impressionists for a song when no one else was collecting them and created a collection that he chose not to display chronologically or by artist but with other works to make a point about technique or some other trait. He left strict rules on how the works were to be displayed in his will and when the collection was moved from his villa to the museum it was literally built around the collection. These painting were not photographed or seen anywhere outside his villa until the 90s when the museum had financial difficulties and they contravened the will to send it to Paris and Munich. The administrators (who were also stipulated in the will and ran it financially into the ground) had to go to court to get legal permission to move it to it's current location so they could increase the number of visitors. It used to sit out in Merion County in a suburb and visitors were strictly limited by the amount of cars the busses the wealthy neighbors were willing to tolerate.

One thing the collection will make obvious is that Picasso was chasing Matisse.

The problem is, lefty CEOs rarely pay a price to go all SJW. And most of these people live in rich, deep blue enclaves and care FAR more what their friends think that what average shareholders do. And their major shareholders are institutional investors, hedge funds, pension funds etc that also drink the blue Kool Aid.

So I expect this stuff to continue, especially when it comes to social issues.

Conservatives should probably remember this the next time they want to go to the mat for big business with things like the Import-Export bank, work visas, trade deals, consumer protections, etc.

573 Tho not actually a museum I thought I'd mention the Presbyterian Historical Society is located in Philly. If you have any family in PA that were Presbyterians this is a great place for research. We found birth/baptismal records there from the 1830s.

It is the oldest continuous denominational historical society in the US.

574 Late to the thread. This is unlike any Rembrandt I've seen. The textures, especially for the floor and plaster walls, is on the verge of Impressionism. The brush strokes of the floor in particular remind me of Van Gogh more than anything else. Given the small size, I wonder if it was an earlier effort when he was experimenting with styles and techniques.

But the eyes remind me of his other self-portraits and the color palette is how I picture his simpler paintings.

Can't decide if I like this or not. I am intrigued by comparing it to the Rembrandt paintings I'm more familiar with.

579 I take it back. The Gulf Shores parade was hit at 10:00 AM, and the driver was in a car with MOAA on a sticker on the side. 11 kids from the Gulf Shores High School Band are in the hospital, three critical. They are asking for prayers for the kids.

So it might not have been drunk driving.

583 KAC probably thought it would be rude, and a little too informal under the circumstances, to take off her shoes in a room full of guests about to take a photo-op with the President. It's not rude to wear your shoes (literally) on the couch, unless they're dirty enough to smudge the fabric. Unless she walked through a sea of mud to reach the Oval Office (insert your own election 2016 joke here) her shoes were clean.

584 The Rosenbach Museum is an easy walk from center city if your near the Convention Center or business towers, and it's really a treasure. 2008 Delancey Place. Its a museum of rare books and manuscripts and other stuff collected by the Rosenbach brothers who were collectors and brokers. Conrad's manuscript for Lord Jim, William Blake drawings and Lewis Carroll stuff for example. It's now run by the Free Library of Philadelphia which also has a small rare book room that's open to the public.
You might also like to take a walk through the Reading Terminal Market very near the Marriott. A walk through the Italian Market on S 9th Street might be good, although it should probably be called the Vietnamese and Mexican Market. Washington to Christian. Very close to Pat's and Geno's if your eating steak sandwiches. Some think the market is dirty. I think its great.
Have fun.
