Portrait Of Grand Duchess Zinaida Yusupova
Christina Robertson

This has nothing to do with today's art, but Mike Hammer sent me this quotation last year, and I thought it was quite interesting, especially considering the source.

I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

-- Frida Kahlo

9 "Zinaida" would be a good name for a female Siberian cat. Unfortunately it would get shortened to "Zinnie," which is not as exotic.

Our human subject here has a little of the young Julia Roberts about her -- see the nose particularly.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at December 02, 2021 09:33 AM (txdEq)

10 Zinaida is best known as the mother of Prince Felix Yusupov, the murderer of Rasputin. She escaped revolutionary Russia and spent her remaining years living in exile.

It's a Cinch - a limerick

For an hourglass shape you will find
You need a corset of just the right kind
But you'll make a strange sight
If you cinch it too tight

27 From Wiki:

Princess Zinaida Nikolayevna Yusupova was an Imperial Russian noblewoman, the only heiress of Russia's largest private fortune of her time. Famed for her beauty and the lavishness of her hospitality, she was a leading figure in pre-Revolutionary Russian society. Zinaida is best known as the mother of Prince Felix Yusupov, the murderer of Rasputin.

The Art Thread is posted promptly at 9:30 am M-F, with some occasional deviation for holidays, delinquent posting of TMR and COB off-days and Open Blogger guest posting.

Thus, I feel like pattern recognition, which is the basis of intelligence, should dictate the ending of the archaic practice of "Nood" comments announcing the predictable posting of the Art Thread. It's timing is not haphazard or inconsistent as even commonly scheduled posts like the ONT are.

89 The subject isn't important to me but her technique is excellent. She coordinates the flow of the skin tones into the gown fabric tones and captures the look of the lace in a way to flatter the model. The choice of a soft background, the dark hair and point of color of the pendant while the pearls reflect the gown hues shows the softness of the young woman. Very effective.

I'm sure the artist uses a soft focus approach but it is subtle and effective. It's a nice portrait and I'm sure it pleased the patron.

Story time: Rivera was commissioned by Rockefeller to paint a huge mural in Rockefeller Plaza (I think). Being a total commie, Rivera naturally glorified Lenin in the work. Rockefeller was *not pleased*, fired Rivera and painted over the mural. Rivera went back to Mexico, repainted the work and put Rockefeller among the *evil* capitalists.

In the scene in Lethal Weapon where Riggs holds a gun in his mouth, there was a blank in the chamber that, if Mel Gibson had pulled the trigger, would most likely have killed him. This was done for "realism". I shall note that this was also very, very stupid.

And nothing happened.

Weird how Gibson was able to control the trigger of a weapon, but Alec Baldwin wasn't.

196 Christina does really nice shiny clothing textures. She's got that nailed. Many of her figures, and I only see female figures, have very similar features. But I see that a lot in paintings of royal people, they all want to look a certain way so you have a template and tweak it. Also, if you look really close to the skin details the women almost look like pure ivory, it's very striking and beautiful.

The really awful stuff is near baggage claim, so you won't see it on a connection.

Denver has egregiously awful public art. The airport (commie murals, the demon horse), downtown (enormous cleaning supplies outside the art museum, the "Gayliens" outside the theater complex), etc. It's all just so very terrible. They have one kinda cool piece of public art, which is a big statue of a cow. It's hidden away near the dumpsters behind the art museum.

Denver public art blows bigly.

It was one of her favorite english words and always misused it. One new young employee had the temerity to point out the difference and she just had to dress him down for insulting her.

We have a site near my old high school that was always claimed that it was an Indian burial ground.
They built three different restaurants on it. They all burned down. At the height of their popularity. Land has sat vacant for thirty years.

There is a legend that the Superdome is built on an ancient Indian burial site, and that was why the Saints were such a losing team for so many decades. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the Indian part. The area certainly was a rundown slum for generations. There used to be warehouses (ca. 1967) where the Dome now stands, and a Lincoln-Mercury dealership across the street from them, where a skyscraper looms now.

269 We had our older kid in the Bloomington (IN) public elementary school for about a month and a half this year, before going back to homeschooling. And he says:

(a) Every classroom had a stolen land poster that says, "You are on _______ land", with a blank for the teacher to fill in.

(b) But only one teacher had bothered to fill it in.

Anyway, this brilliant idea made me think that they should do the same thing with "You are on _____ burial grounds" acknowledgements. Might help with the Juju.

The underlying premise of software as a service is continuous upgrades. When was the last time that a word processor added something which was actually an upgrade?

The managers come up with new "ideas" based on stupid shit they saw on youtube and it gets put in with little to no thought about how it'll affect the whole because everyone is just trying to milk as much cash from the company as possible before moving on to destroy the next one.
