Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Mid-Morning Art Thread [Kris]Jack Vettriano The artist revisited this theme several times, reworking the subject and composition. Each one redirected my focus, interpretation, or feelings about the piece. This is the version I liked best. The tight framing, simple composition, dark lighting and limited colors evoked a very specific mood. This well-dressed, late middle-aged man has received a letter. As he reads it, his face darkens. His expression freezes. His brows knit. Because his suit blends into the black of the wall, we don’t notice that he’s leaning against the wall, at first. His need for support is a subtle hint at the heaviness of the message in the letter. The title already clues the viewer in on this, and his pose adds to this interpretation. While the man fills the right half of the work, the left is empty space, but not really. The space is filled with light (a dim light, but still) and color. The color is a deep wine criss-crossed by thin, black diagonals. The composition is predominantly vertical and horizontal, so these diagonals break this up. They also conflict with them, which, to me, may symbolize or hint at the emotions within in the man. The diagonals also give the wall a classy texture that emphasizes the man’s dress and style. The wine color also adds to this sense of sophistication and is my favorite part of the work. The wine is also a nice muted contrast to the dominant black. It is lighter, obviously, but not so light or so intense that it’s distracting. The red-purple creates a background and frame, allowing my eye to focus on the man’s face. Imagine if the background were all black. The details in the man’s face would blend together and get lost in the void. It’d be harder to read his expression. The wine is the perfect blend of light and dark to view the face. The whole scene is dimly lit by the gold light in the top left. This color is the most intense so it must be kept to a small area. It highlights the face and the color matches his skin tone, drawing my attention back to it, and to him. The way this work is cropped, I feel as though I am looking at this man through a window or door. He wants to be alone and picked this dark, quiet corner to read this letter. I like how the colors lighten as your eye ascends the painting but its “feel” gets heavier. The abstract blackness forms into a solid shape, and by the time the eye reaches the face, the expression is definite and concrete. This painting looks like a scene from a noir movie. There’s a story here and I want to know more. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

This painting looks like a scene from a noir movie. There's a story here and I want to know more.
++++ A mob movie. He's getting bad news. The numbers aren't producing, or the bootlegging. I don't think it's catastrophic news - like a war being started by a rival family - because he doesn't look bad. He just looks severe but not pleased, so I suspect it's a problem with an overly-ambitious lieutenant or a disruption in their operations or profitability.

Here's a page with both burgundy and wine on it: ...
Posted by: banana Dream at September 29, 2021 09:09 AM (0E/yM) ++++ Am I the only one who sees a problem with this? Wine comes in many colors. Reds. Whites. Pinks. Some even have a green tint. Yet the generic usage of "wine" as a color is a dark red, like a Merlot. This is an egregious example of color privilege, and it deligitimizes and oppresses other wines. Wine isn't always red, people, and using the word "wine" to describe a single color is hugely problematic. Why do the color namers wrongly elevate one shade over the others when they called this "wine?" This is indicative of the low-level oppression present in all aspects of our backwards, regressive, patriarchal language structures. Do better. We all need to do better to purge these biases from our everyday speech. Posted by: Your Kid's Graphic Design Professor at September 29, 2021 09:20 AM (KISI+) 247

Posted by: kraken at September 29, 2021 09:44 AM (6Je/Q) BTW, same here. I don't think you really need more than a good HS-level biology education to get the basic gist of most mainstream arguments for or against vaccination. One of the problems here - and why, I think the institution is shaken - is that they have hidden behind a gobbledygook of gnostic jargon to put forth what is a plainly totalitarian agenda, and when there are facts that get in the way of the prevailing 'theory', they use more gnostic jargon to explain the changing facts away. You don't need to be a scientist to see that, and to become increasingly skeptical. Deplorable Jay Guevara has taken a break from the site, but he's explained this as well as anyone.

Multiple comments from behind the scenes federal official regarding the non-whippings that the admin is still publicly pushing. The "consequences" Joe publicly promised to mete out to the non-transgressors are "no big deal" (off the record). Just a few days suspension (with pay). I find this overt wink wink nudge nudge more off-putting than if they actually truly believed the whipping occurred. It's an implicit confession that they are intentionally lying for political effect.

Defoliant takes the leaves off cotton stalks making for less gin trash and better price on baled cotton. Defoliant has a distinctive skunk-like odor. Hope I didn't offend any here mentioning cotton. Or skunks.

_____________ Sure you are. That's like a 50-year old woman getting a face lift and proclaiming she's now a 40-year old woman. She's just a 50-year old woman who's had plastic surgery. Just like a "transgender woman" is just a man who's had plastic surgery. Doesn't change the biology, doesn't change the chromosomes, just changes the outer appearance.
