Never cared for Manet that much. His color choices aren't anything special and his subject matter leaves me indifferent.
Maybe there's some inner meaning to this painting but, if so, it escapes me. There's a naked woman obviously ready for some action on the grass and two French fags (metro-sexuals?) more interested in each other. That's disturbingly wrong.

You're damn right there's an inner meaning. And it's patriarchy! See, Manet wanted you to know how oppressed wymyns are, so he painted em nekkid. Add a dose of homoeroticism and the progressive narrative is pretty much complete.

I can't imagine the cost of paint. If I had to cover that much canvas with a varied color palette like that I would imagine it would cost over one hundred dollars just in paint and a tidy fortune for the canvas.

For an American, the idea of only voting a party rather than an individual seems wrong. I know a lot of admirers of the Parliamentary system, but I just can't get enthusiastic; yes, the chaotic aspects are not attractive and the loss of individuality is as well.

I'm curious as to how much he liked women. Really, look at his paintings, even this one. The women he paints, their faces are often grotesque. Off somehow, including the pretty ones! And the ones who are fully clothed.
The distortion of their faces suggests he's been scarred by his experience with women. What we see is not so much THEIR faces, but how he sees them, and that to me says a great deal about him.

He claims he lives ten minutes down the road so he can support his girlfriend of 12 years who is in Medical School.
Two things wrong with that. #1 he can't move 10 minutes further away and actually live in the District he is running for Representative from and still support her in Medical School?
#2. They have been together for 12 years and still can't commit to a permanent relationship?
Me thinks they picked the wrong guy to give all of that money to. He is going to get his a$$ handed to him after the Primary is over.

I can't imagine the cost of paint. If I had to cover that much canvas with a varied color palette like that I would imagine it would cost over one hundred dollars just in paint and a tidy fortune for the canvas.

Lyrics
Sure is mellow grazin' in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
What a trip just watchin' as the world goes past
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
There are so many groovy things to see while grazin' in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
Flowers with colours bright, makin', everything outta sight
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
The sun beamin' out between the leaves
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
And the birds dartin' in and out of the trees
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it,
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it, can you dig it, baby?

Mustbequantum, how is your baby granddaughter? Posted by: bluebell at April 18, 2017 10:17 AM (sBOL1)
=====
At home now. She seems to be doing very well and her size has helped her cope (9-12oz). I can't hold or get near her because I am a coughing snotty mess (bad cold/allergies). So I got to play with son's new puppy. My old dog was really funny restraining the puppy's more enthusiastic attempts at the toddler staying with me over the ICU days. He just quietly herded her away when she got too bitey. Son's baby is due in August. I like toddlers, babies are too scarey for me.
Thank you for asking.

there are specific linguistic terms for this sort of thing:
The use and conjugation of a noun to make it serve as a verb is called "Verbalizing"
The opposite, turning a verb into a noun, is called "Nominating"
These are very useful terms, and very indicative of the plasticity of they human brain in its unknowable processing of information.

Conservative opposition to Pope Francis spurs talk of a schism in the Catholic Church
As Francis enters his fourth year in office, his conservative opponents have chosen to stand and fight over his 2016 apostolic exhortation titled "Amoris Laetitia," or "The Joy of Love," in which he suggested bishops can use discretion in granting Communion to Catholics who divorce, then remarry in a civil ceremony.
Francis' guidance was seen by many as contradicting the ruling, which dates to the early days of the Roman Catholic Church, that couples are living in sin if they remarry, because their first marriage is still valid in the eyes of the church.
Francis' opening was part of his mercy-before-doctrine drive, which welcomes outcasts to the church rather than use dogma to keep people out. But for conservative Catholics, it was another reason to feel aggrieved, after Francis appeared to suggest in 2015 that Lutherans could receive Catholic Communion, and, when asked about gay people in 2013, said, "Who am I to judge?"

Needed more t & a. Needed more shocking of male test subjects while flirting with cute girl. Needed less key master. Needed more "put it in me" dialog. Who did they make this movie for?
The actor who played the villain was more interesting. The actor's dad was an amazing man in a human sense. Everyone who knew his dad said to know-him-was-to-love-him. The actor not-so-much. The actor passed away before the movie was released. The actor performed one final spiteful act after his death toward his half sister. Having a famous father who is beyond a decent human being and in the saint territory must be a curse.

Mr. Bassman and I will be in the Ft. Lauderdale area at the end of April and would enjoy meeting Florida morons.
Are there any Horde members in that area who are available for a mini-meetup? One possibility is to attend your church on Sunday the 30th.

In printing industry, images are delineated as width x depth as in 8.5x11. Similarly, images can be portrait mode, as 8.5x11 or landscape mode 11x8.5.
Today's painting seems to be a landscape yet your measurements indicate a portrait mode.
Is the "artistic" convention different by custom or habit ???

I don't follow the gossip press, but I would suggest this:
If a big star like Johnny Depp is accused of beating up a woman, and it's later reported in the gossip press that she's a psycho who beat herself up, and tried to make it look like Johnny Depp did it... I would think there's a fairly high likelihood Johnny Depp beat her up, and the Hollowwood Industrial Complex went to work protecting one of its biggest stars.

This painting is fairly typical Manet: a lot of individual insight, but a certain, probably stylistically intentional failure to unify foreground and background, resulting in an awkward telephoto like portraiture wherein every thing is either in tight sharp focus, or none at all, that emphasizes individual elements.

There are only two subjects in the painting, not four - one man and one woman. They're in a wilderness alone, having connected briefly but without consequence.
The man is conversant with himself, engaged in internal dialogue, picturing himself fancier than he is having notched another conquest. He imagines himself fully clothed or more, not at all vulnerable, having offered only inconsequential, algorithmic banter to achieve his selfish ends. He leans on his hand without touching this woman with whom he is done and ignores here completely.
The woman is also elsewhere in her mind, imagining the responsibilities she ought have pursued in lieu of this fleeting shame pursuing the lie. She offered herself fully but he did not reciprocate. So foolishly hopeful but she should have known better, there was nothing chivalrous about it, they did not even find a soft patch of ground, there are rocks everywhere and no blanket spread. She is now out of place and longs awkwardly for eye contact with the viewer who might embrace her more genuinely than this now-disengaged acquaintance.
The spilled basket of uneaten food represents the failed hopes and dreams of both. A want, perhaps even an expectation, collapsed.
The boat awaits their return. It will be a quiet and uncomfortable row back to rejoin the other shades who they pass in life, who like our subjects find no more than brief, vulgar intimacies punctuating existences of detachment and loneliness.
