The way this painting is arranged, it makes it look as if the subject has been wandering around the city and has just popped into a hotel lobby or a cafe to find someone to vent his woes to.
Wouldn't hang, though. Has a very Night Gallery vibe to it. Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at June 11, 2024 09:35 AM (Q0kLU) 49

I went out walking through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walking under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodbye. Yeah, I went with nothing, nothing but the thought of you. I went wandering. -- U2 - "The Wanderer" (sung by Johnny Cash) Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at June 11, 2024 09:39 AM (7fElN) 65

Never been a fan of Edvard Munch. Most of his work looks like a cartoon but without humor or charm. I can see it fitting in very well with post-WW I Europe. If I want clusters of color I'll look at Van Gogh or Monet.
Don't know what bothers me more: that he produced the paintings or that they were considered so great by the art critics. Posted by: JTB at June 11, 2024 09:46 AM (zudum) 106

I get it.
Independent, July 12, 2012, The Night Wanderer, 1923-4, 90cm x 68cm by Edvard Munch Munch Museum, Oslo In part, "And so it is here, in this portrait of Munch on his large and isolated estate outside Oslo, 20 years before his death. It is a perfect example of Munch's particular kind of self-haunting. The mood is almost Hitchcockian – we can feel in our bones the disturbingly obsessive, Psycho-like musical accompaniment. He has erupted on to the scene. He peers round at us with his ridiculously garish, yellow hair, hollow-eyed, caught unawares. Colour always meant so much to Munch – as did vowels to Rimbaud. They are indicators of pain." About the artist: Edvard Munch (1863-1944) "The Norwegian painter Edvard Munch was the creator of The Scream (1893) one of the most widely disseminated images of the angst of modern man. This image is by no mean atypical. Munch's work exists on some wild, self-tortured outer edge of human existence. Needless to say, he was an alcoholic. Did alcohol nurture the man's psychosis – or did the psychosis cause him to drown his misery in drink?" Wouldn't hang but thanks.

Did posters know that The Scream was painted on cardboard, basically? A kind of poster board? In some places the "canvas" shows through the painting. Munch didn't give any thought to preserving his art for posterity.
I read an interesting book about the theft, & eventual recovery, of The Scream. My Honda CRV has a better theft protection system than the museum in Norway, where The Scream was on display, had. The most famous art theft since WW II occurred at the Gardner Museum in Boston a few years back. Never solved. Nothing ever recovered. The Gardner still keeps the blank places where the pictures used to hang on display-- as a reminder of their tragic loss. I don't have the impression that museums like to spend money on security, because nobody goes to a museum to see state of the art anti-theft devices. Donors want to see the fruits of their philanthropy right there on the walls, too-- not too much interest in upgrading the professionalism of the security guards.

Already reported but...
Kyle Becker @kylenabecker 18h JUST IN: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman and his wife, Gisele, were both in a car crash. The automobile accident occurred when a Chevrolet Traverse slammed into the 54-year-old senator's Chevrolet Impala while heading west on I-70. According to Maryland State Police, the incident occurred at 8 a.m. on Sunday. NBC10 reported the accident on Monday afternoon. A spokesperson for Fetterman said that the senator suffered minor injuries in the crash. Posted by: andycanuck (ZdexC) at June 11, 2024 10:28 AM (ZdexC) 276

On this day in American, 249 years ago:
June 11-12, 1775– The Battle of Machias (also known as the Battle of the Margaretta) was the first naval engagement of the American Revolutionary War. It took place in and around the port of Machias in what is now eastern Maine and resulted in the capture by Patriot militia of a British schooner. Following the outbreak of the war and the start of the Siege of Boston, British authorities enlisted the assistance of Loyalist merchant Ichabod Jones to assist in the acquisition of needed supplies. Two of Jones’ merchant ships arrived in Machias on June 2, accompanied by the British armed sloop Margaretta, commanded by midshipman James Moore. The townspeople, unhappy with Jones’ business practices, decided to arrest him, and in the attempt, decided to go after Moore and his ship. Moore was able to escape out of the harbor, but the townspeople seized one of Jones’ ships, armed it and a second local ship, and sailed out to meet him. In a short confrontation, they captured Moore’s vessel and crew, fatally wounding him in the process. There is a very well done oil painting of the battle painted by Robert L.

Same with The Bridges of Madison County. It's a movie about a woman cheating on her husband and tossing away her family.

344 Ask what is art and you will get a million different answers. But, should art guide people to living lives that don't screw them and others up or should it try to portray sordid realities like some people cheat, get their fun, and get away with it. For them, ordinary life within constraints is punishment.
Posted by: whig at June 11, 2024 10:39 AM (/0X3E) ======== I don't think that's a good reading of her character in that film. But even if it is, she chose punishment rather than her own fun. If her husband didn't make her happy, she chose to stay with him because it was her duty. Marriage is hard and requires sacrifice, often of things we want to do. She chose to punish herself because she had tasted what she wanted. So, even in the worst reading, she's essentially trying to make up for it by punishing herself. But that doesn't match the rest of the film where she (and her adult children in the flashforwards) talk about how much she loved them and her husband.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison ------- Doesn't answer my rhetorical question and punishment for her is denial of passion not discovery and external punishment. But, unlike historical fiction like Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, etc. she pays no real price so the book/movie is simply a shallow take that indicates 'shit happens' and it is best to lie and deceive. Eastwood is a talented director but that is the sugar coating of the 'shit' message. Simply put, Bridges trivializes sexual infidelity and their corrosive effect on marriages and family. It also indicates a fantasy where a woman with poor impulse control gets the affair to yearn over and then her family too. Posted by: whig at June 11, 2024 10:53 AM (/0X3E) 414

One of his movies I thought was underrated "Flight" was excellent and wish that had been received better.
----- I loved Flight. Watched it several times. Even with the Alcoholics Anonymous advertising, I thought the story was incredible. Thought he did an excellent job. I thought his acting in Fences was mindblowing. He was really grating, but I thought he was dead on true to life. Posted by: Ribbed - Still Straight at June 11, 2024 10:54 AM (IHRQq) 428

413 Simply put, Bridges trivializes sexual infidelity and their corrosive effect on marriages and family. It also indicates a fantasy where a woman with poor impulse control gets the affair to yearn over and then her family too.
Posted by: whig at June 11, 2024 10:53 AM (/0X3E) ======== I don't think it trivializes it. I think there's a strong argument that it rationalizes it which is a separate thing that's also not good. And I wouldn't argue against it being a fantasy. I mean, male fantasies aren't invalid because they're male fantasies even if they're filled with immoral behavior.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dream * No Netflix series on Hannibal Posted by: BruceWayne at June 11, 2024 *** Not to mention that Hannibal B. was born and raised in Spain, a Carthaginian colony, and had hardly seen Carthage itself until he was an adult (I think).

That's why, since the beginning of time, they were set apart from the rest of society. What we've allowed them is a mistake.
Posted by: Braenyard -------- There is a real question there that Bridges ignores in favor of trite mommy pron. Essentially, some great art was and is produced by unsavory people. Munch is an example--he brilliantly portrays above that mixes up the human values of misery, solitude, and substance abuse. That being said, how does that affirm the good things in life because even Munch in his self imposed misery must have had happy times on occasion. Does Munch's painting serve as a warning? As in, "Don't do what I did because it will bring you hell on Earth?" Does creativity require misery? Etc. Posted by: whig at June 11, 2024 10:59 AM (/0X3E) 448
