36 Interesting note on Sisley at Wiki, saying the Nazi art looters stole quite a few Sisleys that have never been recovered. I imagine they are sitting in the basements of Swiss banks, and are now "owned" by the bankers.

Switzerland has that weird, self-serving banking law giving control of left property to the banks and not obligating them to make even minor efforts to restore the art to its rightful owners.

42 Impressionist art like this is always much better in person. I'm not sure why, but photos never do the images justice. Still, most of them leave me cold because so many seem more like exercises than art.

This image in its self, even if painted with photo clarity, would not be particularly interesting in layout or content. The colors are well rendered, but not striking. Its just the kind of thing an amateur, unskilled photographer would take to show a relative way over there on the dock.

47 Interesting note on Sisley at Wiki, saying the Nazi art looters stole quite a few Sisleys that have never been recovered.

Possibly destroyed, many Nazis weren't fond of impressionist art and would burn some of it. Also, war isn't easy on art. But yeah, a lot of it just was taken and kept in the family by Germans or discovered when the allies invaded and some soldier took it home (or had it 'confiscated' by a superior officer who put it in their home).

57 The scene is pleasant but what really appeals to me is the quality and clarity of light Sisley captures. There is a vibrancy in the sky and water, set off by the neutrals of the stone work, that makes the painting come alive. Looking through some of his other works on the Wiki page, that same quality comes through, Wish I knew more about his materials and techniques.

Seeing the brush strokes is important even in less extreme cases than Van Gogh. I used to have an art teacher who urged us to get so close to the paintings that it put the museum workers on high alert; or at least woke them up.

I can't say why, but over the years I have become more receptive to impressionism. At one time, this work would have received a one word review from me. I probably still don't love it but I don't hate it either. Maybe the world just isn't as clear to me as it once was.

I know a guy who sent that song to his girlfriend as a romantic gesture. Apparently he didn't realize that it was a song about how a guy WON'T marry the girl, just uses her when he's ashore for a while. "You'd make a great wife, just not for me" is not particularly romantic.

When I was at the Seattle Art Museum I got yelled at by a curator trying to look at the brush strokes more closely. I had my hands behind my back and was leaning slightly but I get it. They don't know who I am or what my intent is, and they don't want their 1.5 million dollar Monet to be damaged.

Decades ago I walked through a modern art exhibit. In the center was a work on the floor which consisted of nothing more than a large mound of pine nuts. My kids were behind me as I crouched down as low as I could right next to the pile and began to feign a big sneeze coming on.

There were no phones with cameras back then. The look of shock and fear on the guard's face, whom I was facing, was to die for.

159 To me painting is much more than an exact reproduction of the subject matter. That's photography

Sure, composition, interpretation, and so on all play a part. But for something to truly become art instead of craft, it has to give the viewer or listener a glimpse into the transcendent, a tiniest hint of the holy that comes through. Basically it gives a backward glimpse of the reflected glory of God, in some small way.

Its okay to be an amazing craftsman, there's honor and respect to be had in that. Just don't think its art. I write a book, no matter how well I write it, its just a story. But some take that to another level and it becomes something wonderful and timeless.

I can't argue with that claim, but its irrelevant to the discussion. Everyone is not and never will be a pacifist on this earth, so all that claim ends up being is an attempt to seize virtue: if everyone was like me then we'd all live in paradise! Most religions make this claim, with very few exceptions.

Christianity does not: it admits sin even when saved, and the need for forgiveness and repentance every day.

198 BREAKING NEWS: Currently, over 7.24% of McDonald's ice cream machines in America are broken. "

That is a feature of the machines. They throw a fault that only a "factory technician" can clear. The franchise owners must use that specific machine, and must call that specific machines technician. It is a corporate kickback to the machine maker. The machine maker supplies most fast food restaurants ice cream machines, but only McDonalds has this douchey arrangement.

Non-violent resistance isn't a universally bad method of fighting tyranny, but only an ass would think it works everywhere all the time. One size fits all is just stupid.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor, world's most respected Fantasy Hero writer at June 07, 2021 09:26 AM (KZzsI)

Except that Gandhi's strategy for India DEPENDED on violence. Violence was the whole point. Provoking the Limeys into getting their truncheons out and therefore putting the lie to their pretensions of civil behavior would embarrass them enough that they would quit. Only the Limeys would be concerned enough about their image that this would be effective. Gandhi chose this method because he perceived that it would be successful. If he thought armed resistance would have had better odds, he'd have been calling for the guns.

The idiotic view of Gandhi as a paragon of non-violence really annoys me.

366 I mean, it's stupid, but it's a theory.-------------------------------I think its plausible. Not in the way that all justices got together to do it, but that things align sometimes for reasons. Deals are cut in weird ways at the Court. Perhaps there was a deal on this and we will be screwed on abortion. So I give the theory at least some credence.

371 I'm reading that SCOTUS just handed down a unanimous ruling on an illegal alien case and ruled against the illegal alien.

Progress.

It's pretty narrow. Basically, the lower court said that whatever the illegal alien testified to in court (e.g. political persecution, threats, etc.) had to be taken as true unless a judge explicitly ruled otherwise. Supes basically just said "Naw. He gets the same assumption of truthfulness as anybody else."

Ah, good point. But Tyson/Spinks had both men actually trying. Mayweather is going to run the clock for a bit with Paul.

that's because you haven't posted a selfie of yourself getting the vaccine, so they think you're going to get covid and die.

375 The scotus case was decided today but was argued in 2020. Kinda moot now since the Biden Admin will give the illegals whatever it is they were asking for.

Doesn't make up for their other ruling that disallowed a deportation because the notice did not meet requirements. They sent the notice too many times. WTF?

386 "one of the local census 'workers' was bitching on Nextdoor about being hung up on."

That's funny. I was going to ditch my Nextdoor account but it sure is useful on keeping tabs on what the local Karen's are up to.
