Mid-Morning Art Thread [From the archives]

Rolla
Henri Gervex

This was sold by Sotheby's in 1984 for far more than expected, no doubt because of the marvelous brushwork on the lamp and the dress.

Their description is interesting, and worth a read. Here is a bit of it....

Taking as his inspiration the eponymous poem of 1833 by Alfred de Musset, Gervex transposes the narrative into fashionable contemporary Paris, signalled by the wrought iron railings and view of the Haussmannised cityscape beyond, the grand boulevard backdrop recognized by some viewers as the fashionable Boulevard des Italiens. Jacques Rolla, a well-born bourgeois, has decided to spend his final night with the prostitute Marion, having squandered his fortune on a life of debauchery. The scene depicts the morning after: while Marion lies asleep, Rolla broods on his fate and contemplates suicide by jumping from the window. The model for Marion is based on several women - the actress Ellen Andrée, a favorite of Renoir, Manet and Degas (she is the sitter in Degas' L'Absinthe of 1876) posed for the body, but demanded that a different model be used for the face.

That little comment about Paris being "Haussmannised" is a pomposity, signalling that the writer is one of the elite who knows who Baron Haussmann was. Except...every Parisian knows who he was, and it's not that big a deal. It's like a New Yorker knowing who Robert Moses was. So? He was an urban planner who changed some of NYC, some for the good and some definitely not. But it's a hometown detail, and not a signal of one's intelligence.

And in the "bourgeois" I get a whiff of Marxist dialectic, which deserves a whiff of grapeshot.

But I digress.

Manet, Degas, Stevens, the young, the old, everyone trooped in front of the canvas which was already famous before it entered the Salon…However, hardly had it been hung on the wall when the surintendant des Beaux- Arts, Turquet, gave the brutal order that it be removed on grounds of immorality, with the complicity of the Salon jury…that’s how an art dealer offered to exhibit Rolla at his shop on the Chaussée-d’Antin… I accepted, as you can imagine, with gratitude, and for three months there was indeed an uninterrupted procession of visitors with a queue of carriages backed up to the Opera.
-- Henri Gervex

43 Nice painting and beautiful colors and I like the light on the courtesan's body . The subject of deciding whether you want to jump out the window is not exactly cheerful, but then Alfred de Musset as talented as he was in some ways was a weirdo:

Outside of his relationship with George Sand he was a well-known figure in brothels, and is widely accepted to be the anonymous author-client who beat and humiliated the author and courtesan Céleste de Chabrillan, also known as La Mogador.

50 Musée d'Orsay, France

Henri Gervex (1852 - 1929), in part:

In the Spring of 1878, a month before the inauguration of the Salon, Rolla was brutally excluded from the event by the Beaux-Arts administration. Yet, Henri Gervex was a renowned painter. Aged only 26, he had already been awarded a medal at the Salon, which in theory made him an "outsider" in terms of competition and therefore dispensed from the deliberations of the jury in charge of choosing the artworks exhibited. This time, the authorities decided otherwise as they judged the scene to be "immoral."

If the scene was judged indecent, it was not because of Marie's nudity, which in no way differs from the canonic nudes of the time. The attention of contemporaries rather turned to the still life constituted by a gown, a garter, and a hastily undone corset covered with a top hat. Gervex might have been advised by Degas to put "a corset on the floor" so that the spectator may know this woman "is not a model." Indeed, this disposition and the nature of the clothes clearly indicate Marie's consent and her status as a prostitute. Moreover, the walking stick emerging from the garments acts as a metaphor for sexual intercourse.

111 Gervex could certainly capture the sensual female, women completely comfortable with their bodies. Several of his paintings show similar themes. Beyond that, his ability to show light, natural or artificial, in a setting is excellent, eye catching, and displays the details that make make the painting so effective.

He also had a sense of humor. His account in CBD's post has a strong 'screw you' aspect to the prudes who removed this painting from a museum. He has a painting of an art jury. A group of 'serious' men, passing judgement on displayed paintings, all clustered around a painting of a nude woman and ignoring the other works.

114 Carolyn Jones passed away on August 3, 1983, at only 53 years old, but the dark elegance she brought to the screen remains unforgettable.

Born in Amarillo, Texas, in 1930, Jones enjoyed a successful career in film and television, appearing in productions such as The Seven Year Itch, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and King Creole. She also received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in The Bachelor Party.

However, she became immortal as the original Morticia Addams in the 1960s series The Addams Family. With her hypnotic gaze, elegant movements, mysterious beauty, and wonderfully dry humor, she created the image of Morticia that continues to inspire gothic culture today.

Carolyn Jones gave darkness grace, charm, and timeless style.

One of his earliest major roles was as a thug/hitman, half of a team with Earl Holliman, in a noir called The Big Combo. The film is remembered partly because of the implied homosexual relationship between the two gunmen.

133 What we know about the Idaho In-N-Out shooter and his connection to Twin Falls

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The College of Southern Idaho confirmed that Chad Williams attended the school from Aug. 22, 2022, through Dec. 14, 2023.

The college said he did not graduate with a credential from the college.

“The College will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies during their investigation,” the statement said.

Investigators believe he acted alone. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said social media claims identifying another individual as the suspect were false.
“We understand there are many questions, and we will try to answer as many of those in time as we can,” Hicks said. “However, because some details cannot be released at this stage, doing so would compromise our investigation.”

It was confirmed he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

What investigation? What's to compromise?
You said he acted alone and he's dead.

188 133 What we know about the Idaho In-N-Out shooter and his connection to Twin Falls

Posted by: rickb223

Attended the College of Southern Idaho (CSI) from August 22, 2022, until December 14, 2023.

In his official 2023 student biography, he introduced himself to the student body with the following statement: "Hi, I'm Chad. I enjoy a variety of entertainment including combat sports, role-playing, history, and gaming. I'm majoring in nursing and after graduating will pursue further education while working in healthcare."

He was a senator in the college's student government, the spokesperson confirmed, until he was impeached from that role in February 2023. (Lack of participation & to be replaced with another student.)

Raised in Arizona, originally living in Waddell, a suburb on the western outskirts of the Phoenix metro area. Disclosed on his personal social media profiles that he was a former foster care youth.

Participated in Boys State in 2019, a prestigious civic leadership program for top high school students.

Described by former college roommates & student government peers as a quiet, introverted, but polite and an encouraging friend in his 1st yr. of college.

235 Dow is kinda irrelevant these days. It’s an archaic metric there for historical reasons more than anything else. It’s a weighted average which means the biggest companies have the most influence. And it can really skew it up or down if one or two members outperform.

All the other indexes are doing well so it’s not like DJIA is a fluke. But it’s not what matters anymore.

291 Retarded, performative, and gay. It's not a blowtorch first of all, it's oxyacetylene.

It's not even that. There's one hose. It's propane for soldering copper. He's got the roll of flux core in his other hand.

About the painting: BOOBS!

Now that's good art!

294 Every single thing Talarico actually does is what a Democrat with too much money and no hope of winning would do in order to try and gain traction anywhere. From the black grovelling to this to the fact that most of his spending goes to fundraising...

Seriously, people need to realize that Texas is a Trump+14 state and this gay twink who loves trans kids and hates Christianity and said that Mary could abort Jesus isn't the guy who's going to change that.

And yet we here in Texas just went through this exact same thing a few years back with robert francis "beto" orourke. The exact same thing with tons of out of state money flowing into his campaign. He lost but not by as much as he should have. I doubt talerico comes within 8 points of paxton.

296 At some point, Talarico will have to shoot an AR-15. Hilarity will ensue.

298 Actually, it's a creme brûlée torch. VERY manly.

It's manly if you use it to light fireworks.

You actually went through it 2 years ago, too.

Allred was supposed to be a real competitor against Cruz.

He lost by 8.

The Biden era pushed Texas hard to the right, and it was already kind of to the right.

Poor guy. Never quite caught on as part of The BeeGees.

Would not "decent" imply enlargement?

Posted by: Duncanthrax at August 04, 2026 11:04 AM (0sNs1)

307 Absolutely would hang. But not where any grandkids could see.
