Mid-Morning Art Thread [Kris]
Gustav Bauernfeind Bauernfeind was an Orientalist Jewish artist from Germany. Orientalism is a type of Romanticism that usually focuses on Near Eastern subject matter. Bauernfeind became attracted to the Orient through his travels and eventually moved his family to Jerusalem. There the mature phase of his career began, and he spent the rest of his life there. The main elements of this work are composition and scale. The framing and cropping of the scene give the work intimacy and quiet. The viewer is taken right up to the foot of this massive, ancient retaining wall. We watch and listen to the faithful approach in reverence and prayer—some on their knees. The viewer’s point-of-view is slightly above and behind these worshippers. We’re not a part of the group and they are too occupied to notice us. Because the artist was Jewish, I think we are supposed to view this as Jews, but for me, a Gentile, I feel almost like a voyeur instead. The Wall dominates the work. Its stones are massive and ancient. It feels timeless, yet the detailed rendering of the cracks and plants growing from those cracks also give it age. The plants give it life. The centuries have not been kind to this monument yet it stands defiant of that which it has endured. The Wall is closest to the viewer on the right and recedes into the background, transecting all the visual planes. This creates a very shallow stage for the subject matter to act. The closeness of everything is illustrated by the old man in the left foreground. He is very close to the Wall but he looks up to the top. Because he is so close and the Wall is so high, his head bends way back creating a very steep angle. My eye follows his gaze slowly up the façade, taking the details and the massiveness of the structure. The shape and orientation of the canvas emphasize and exaggerate the proportions of the objects in the work. The tall and narrow canvas confines the figures to this well at the bottom. By having the Wall end at the very left edge of the canvas, it seems to extend beyond the frame, appearing endless, penning us in. The figures are dwarfed by the Wall’s height. At the bottom, each block is individually detailed. Some are cracked, some are inscribed. Variation in shading and color are carefully rendered. As the Wall rises, these details fade and eventually blend together. This adds still more height, in a similar way details fade and meld together as a landscape recedes towards a horizon creating a sense of depth and distance. For all its massiveness and closeness, Bauernfeind allows for a small area of sky to peak through in the upper left. This cloudless sky creates an opening for my eye to escape this huge emotional weight. Compared to the solid-ness and intricate details of the Wall, the sky is featureless—just a light blue shape in the corner. Where most of the work is sober and solemn, the sky is relaxing and peaceful. When contrasted to the overall color tones of the rest of the work, the sky feels a little out of place, so Bauernfeind repeats the same blue in the garment of one of the faithful in the foreground. It links the two opposing corners and planes. This work was painted by a Jew at a time when Zionism was taking hold. In this work I feel a sense of longing and mourning, with a bit of hope. It is a longing of a homeland, a place of safety and belonging, the identification with an ancient history. Bauernfeind depicts the central monument of his people who are still scattered and in danger throughout the world. To me, this work is a longing for Home.

Unless he had a photographic memory and or took two months to paint each painting, he must have used photo reference.

Old maps (before the Romans) had East at the top, and that's how "getting oriented" came around. Today we would never think of Jerusalem being in the Orient (if you were even allowed to say "orient"), but it means anything to the east of you. Obviously its day to day use has migrated somewhat.
One that gets me is "Middle East" and "Far East." There used to be a definition of the "Near East," North Africa, the Levant, plus Greece and the recent Muslim holdings in Yugoslavia. Except for some food labels, you just never see it any more -- could be because the Near East is in Paris and Edinburgh now?
Aden and Oman were once "quarantine ports," and there is a usage you may just see come back. We are running out of Air Force bases.

I recall pondering that some time ago, and realizing that it all makes perfect sense when you take into account the age those terms first came into use - the early Victorian.

I feel several layers of reaction. The first is a past glory able to build such an edifice and ancient age in the worn stone. The second is in the worshipful attitude of the people at the bottom of the wall showing a sense of continuity throughout the centuries. Is there longing for the past or veneration because of the age? I'm not sure but I suspect the faithful would focus on the present. It's the outsider who is more likely to wonder about the world of the wall's origin. The third is feeling the weight of the years in the massive quality of the stones.
This is a highly effective work both in the technical talent of the artist and in the questions and various reactions of the viewers.

Funny. I wonder if anyone has claimed that about the Western Wall. It is primarily foundational as opposed to defensive. The wall around the Old City is, of course, primarily defensive.

That's an old, old game. Charles Mackay, in "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", published in 1841, wrote that if all of the pieces of the "True Cross" were to be brought back together, one could reforest the mountains of Lebanon.

Last week, I wrote a comment saying that I was pissed off at Trump and he's in danger of losing my support, primarily because he hadn't cleaned house of Obama holdovers in the White House.
That shocked him into action.
Unfortunately, now he tweeted out his opposition to 9 year sentences for lying to congress. Here's what he has to do to correct this mistake:
Call a press conference and say that now he's heard the arguments of learned people like Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, Joe Scarborough and others, he's changed his mind and now thinks that from now on, 9 years should be a minimum sentence.
Let them sentence Stone. Pardon him the same day, along with everyone else caught up in the Russian scam, along with signing an executive order for reparations for every nickel these people have paid out or lost due to the illegal actions of the DOJ and FBI.
Then, have AG Barr announce the arrest of all the co-conspirators of the Russian hoax and that all trials will be moved to South Dakota because the perps are too connected in Washington for a fair trial.

He was entering a subway station and (as he put it), a large, imposing black man approached him and asked if he could spare a dime. My dad said, "All I have in my pocket is my subway fare. If you need it, though, it's yours."
The other man looked at him and said, "Damn, boy. You're worse off than me!" and then walked along.

The Romans knocked down the Temple primarily -- at least, that's what we always hear about. But Titus's army probably destroyed a lot of Jerusalem along with the Temple. Flinging enormous rocks into a city, well, those don't care too much what they flatten.

What horse shit. The fact is, a college girl who spends down to $6 in her bank account has no one to blame but herself. As long as she isn't hideously ugly, a college coed can ALWAYS make some cash. And if there's a strip club within 20 miles, she doesn't even need to break the law to do it.

Well, I get out of jail this afternoon (hospital that is). Knee incision stopped draining, so I'm good to go.
They told me the second and third days after the surgery would be the worst, and they were right. The funny thing is what it bothering me is my mid-thigh,and not the knee area proper.
You know why? The put a tourniquet on your thigh to stop blood flow. Now,some leave it on for nearly an hour, but other, such as my doc here, tighten it up only during a critical 10 minute period when they are gluing the implants to the bone. It must be bone dry.
But, for a significant fraction of the population that 10 minutes will do a number on the quadriceps, and I'm in that group.
It's hurting like an SOB now, and 10mg of hillbilly heroin (oxycodone) will barely phase it.

When I was in the rare books business, we were taken in by very good forgeries of papers supposedly from Declaration Signer Francis Hopkinson. It was the usual story, kids found them in their deceased relative's possessions. They were honest, but it turned out - after we produced a nice sale catalog and promoted the sale to all the important buyers - that they were forgeries from the 1930s that the deceased had purchased. It happens to all of us sooner or later.

I've always pictured Vespasian as looking like the younger and tougher Ed Asner. Vespasian had a good sense of humor, including about himself. Attending a play, he watches as a character, made up and costumed like himself, sits up in a coffin and asks, "How much is this funeral costing Rome?"
A character replies, "Fifty thousand sesterces, Sire."
The V. Character: "Make it ten thousand, and throw me in the Tiber."
Vespasian found that very funny.

I saw Lizzie Warren a TV a couple of times yesterday with the sound off.
Her body language is exactly that of the (homely?) teenage girl,
who likes you but who you are not interested in,
but you don't want to be mean to her, so you are polite but distant,
but that somehow encourages her,
and her attempts to attract your attention grow more and more exaggerated, including her body language when talking with you to emphasize every single point.
That's Lizzie Warren right now.

And Klobuchar is better than the pinch-faced fake-Indian scold and is pliable to the party unlike Tulsi and is not extremely off-putting like Abrams.

Nero, who fancied himself a singer/actor/poet, had a habit of compelling people to attend his performances. Vespasian was part of the audience at one, and fell asleep. It was a miracle Nero didn't have him crucified. Instead he posted the soldier to some gods-forsaken outpost of the Empire. (I think it was Judea, but I'm not sure.)
And when he was dying, the Emperor struggled to his feet, to die as he thought a soldier should, and muttered, "Dear me, I must be turning into a god." (It was standard Roman practice to deify each emperor after he passed.)

"Spanner" is a legitimate word for "wrench" in American English, too, in the case of a "face spanner", which is a wrench with two small pins to engage the holes of decorative "spanner nuts" that are (were) often used to secure switches to the dashboard of cars.

According to the minister, "The Human Rights Council is a body made up of states between them and human rights has no connection whatsoever. Since its inception, the Council has taken no steps to protect human rights, but has only protected some of the world's darkest regimes. The commissioner failed to maintain the respect of the UN and save what is left of the honor of the Council and the Commission. This decision will have implications for our relationship with the Commission. The State of Israel will not accept discriminatory and anti-Israeli policies and we will work in all ways to prevent such decisions from being implemented."
Shai Alon, head of the Beit El Council, responded to the list. "The United Nations published its Jewish selection today, just like in World War II. It is a disgrace, a disgrace to an organization that is all pro-Palestinian on the one hand and silent when it comes to the genocide in Syria and the murder of women in Saudi Arabia and on the other, and damages the delicate fabric of life here in Israel."

Considering he became the absolute ruler of the Roman world and could have chosen to have his enemies and critics turned into crucifix adornments, he wsa remarkably good-natured and tolerant. He did at last lose patience with one senator who kept criticizing him in public; I think he had the guy executed. But he and his older son Titus were very enlightened for the times.

He screwed up a perfectly good book with a couple of cheap shots at Trump supporters, and a tone of dismissive contempt for Christians, but overall it was a fun read. For all I know the big-name publishers might require a certain mandatory minimum of that kind of thing to allow a book to be printed these days - it certainly is common enough in anything published the last few years.

They are out of circulation now. And worth more as scrap than their face value. Three dollars in Canadian pennies (the ones that are mostly copper) is worth about $4.50 as scrap. The last few years, they cut the copper content down.

Yeah, after years of passing by the 10,000 signs advertising it I finally stopped. It was cool in it's own way. A few years back the wife was on a business trip in Holland. Right on one of the lamp posts in Amsterdam was a sign, a real sign clamped to the pole that said 6,800 miles to Wall Drug. She took a picture.

That's the way they do it now, and it's the best way. They tell me there's a 2 week after surgery to get the full range of motion.
If you didn't do grueling therapy, the knee would get stiff as hell. It's not anything wrong with new knee joint proper, the friction surface, bu the muscles, ligaments and shit. The surgery causes great insult to those, and they'd just get stiff and stove up.
It's truly a pain for gain tradeoff there, especially for knees.

32 @24 Either that or it is really a Roman construction, from what was once the building next door. There is argument, of course.
Always wondered about this.
Matthew 24:1-2 (KJV)
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
☐ Jesus exaggerated (barely)
☐ A bit of the wall got a merciful reprieve, because reasons.

Nevergiveup:
The Wall is essentially the main retaining supportive structure for the Temple Mount which the Romans used for their own purposes , thus they had to retain the wall
Cicero:
Besides, it would have taken months to remove that wall. I don't think the Romans would have wanted to expend the manpower.
Someguy:
The Romans allegedly took the time to destroy the rest of the walls and city, leaving this wall as proof they conquered something formidable.
