Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Mid-Morning Art ThreadRoger Fry I have never heard of this guy, but I saw the original at The Courtaud Gallery last week and I was struck by the warmth of the colors and the odd, almost startled and puzzled expression of the artist. Unfortunately the reproductions I could find online were a pale reflection of the original. Luckily I took a crappy photo of it and you can see the difference... Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Painted in winter, I'd guess, as he is not only wearing his hat, but a topcoat over his suit coat.
Is that a stickpin in the knot of his tie? Seems like an odd place for it. Those are usually down below, to pin the tie to the shirt. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at April 13, 2022 09:37 AM (txdEq) 39

Roger Fry: "Alright, alright, Marlowe. You got me. But, you gotta understand it wasn't me. I didn't want to kill her. My brother...Alphonse. He was the brains behind it all." Marlowe: Loony. I shoulda known. You got no brother, Fry. Go peddle your monkey grease to someone who cares. Small disembodied voice: Show him, Roger. Roger Fry: Okay....okay... Just- (pulls off hat) (underneath is a small, conjoined twin sticking halfway out of Roger's head.

Does the Open Road style have what I call a "Cattleman's Crease"?
Posted by: Tonypete at April 13, 2022 *** The classic style does, yes! I wear mine with the forebrim snapped down like the IJ fedora. The cattleman's crease keeps the profile of the crown sort of squarish. It looks (to me) more authoritative, as though you're not apologizing for your hat, you're wearing it. The same details of a thin ribbon edging the brim and a narrow ribbon around the base of the crown were found in the Stratoliner model, but Stetson offered the same look in other models. I have a vintage Royal Stetson that has been creased like an IJ fedora. It looks like a Strat in all but the name on the sweatband. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at April 13, 2022 10:02 AM (txdEq) 132

In case nobody has mentioned this already: Roger Fry was more famously a prominent art critic, but earned his credibility by actually knowing how a picture is created. Can't pass judgement on others if you can't do it yourself, right? It's different today: Neither the critics NOR the artists know how to paint a picture!

On D9's: Couple of years ago, mother-in-law, twice widowed, was visiting around planting time. For good clean fun, I took pictures of her standing behind a roto-tiller (instead of her walker), and at the controls of our John Deere. Those got posted to a family facebook page somehow -- and within days she started hearing from gentleman callers she had not seen in decades.

If it's below 13500 they will throw you to Medicaid. If it's 13500 and above the subsidy is on a sliding scale depending on your income. Your other option is an indemnity plan with a supplemental policy. That's what I did I beginning. Ran me about $500 month. Posted by: Anti doesn't matter at April 13, 2022 10:24 AM (bv+Jn) 228

COBRA shouldn't depend on health issues. It's basically allowing you to continue on your former employer's plan. But you have to pay the full amount, whereas before, your employer paid for a good chunk of it. It's meant to provide a bridge until you can get new health insurance kicks in.
It's expensive, to be sure. One of the nice things is, you can do it retroactively. So if your new insurance starts in a month, you can slide until it kicks in. But if you have a medical emergency before then, you can send a payment for your COBRA benefits, and you'll be covered. Posted by: No One of Consequence at April 13, 2022 10:42 AM (CAJOC) 278

I had my head measurements taken at Optimo Hat Works in Bisbee, AZ, a few years ago. A complex jig is used to get the numbers. She keeps the files.
Very fine hats made there, exactly to your specs. I've gone to wearing a straw porkpie regularly, here in subtropical SW FL. I may get a beaver one from her in the same shape. Posted by: Mr Gaga at April 13, 2022 10:55 AM (KiBMU) 311

Adams clarified James is not yet in police custody, and the motive for the attack is still under investigation. "We're still looking through and looking at all of his postings," Adams told hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. "We're conducting a very thorough investigation because the goal here is not only the arrest, but also prosecution."

Wow that NYC subway shoot-em-up story sure got disappeared fast.
Why? --------------- No idea. Posted by: Puddinhead at April 13, 2022 10:50 AM (J7wri) ----- I'm sure we all have no idea why the FBI has a dozen agents to spare to investigate the hates crimes of white people but can never see this kind of thing coming. Door pull handle? 12 agents. Shoe laces in a tree? 6 We better pass an anti-lynching bill before this shit gets out of hand. Next thing you know there will be folks wandering around Chicago in the middle of the night looking for gay black men to pour bleach on, amirite? But hey, there's no low-level race war being stoked against whites in this country. Pish posh I say. There's no proof whatsoever, unless you count the words and actions of folks who have an actual body count to their names but that wouldn't be fair, would it?

Who was the fella who wanted to take over Nicaragua many moons ago?...I don't think is was Burr.
Posted by: Hairyback Guy William Walker. "Filibustering" in an older sense, it was a thing for a while before the Civil War. Nicaragua was the shortcut cargo used before the Panama Canal (there was an actual canal attempted at one point). It's all a pretty crazy period of history, basically forgotten here (but very much NOT forgotten there). Posted by: Brother Tim, #teamheadsonpikes at April 13, 2022 10:59 AM (OUMaO) 324

The "filibusterer" movement grew up to be the Knights of the Golden Circle (the circle was all the small nations facing the Caribbean) and was not only the long-term hope for the confederacy, but the core of US policy to liberate Cuba. A very influential movement, in its way.
A swell piece of oratory called "Message to Garcia" harks back to it. Used to be taught to schoolchildren. Posted by: Stringer Davis at April 13, 2022 11:08 AM (videA) 336

Art story: I have a friend who has a Leroy Neiman original sports painting. It is a picture of Randy Matson doing a shot put at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Neiman painted this live on the TV broadcast of those Oympics. I remember watching him do the painting on TV. My friend's late husband was at the Olympics, and having studied fine art, talked to the artist about his work. Neiman enjoyed what he had to say so much he gave my him the painting. My widow friend had no idea how valuable that painting was until I showed her that Neiman sports paintings have sold for more than a million dollars. I would guess that signed painting is worth at least $100,000.

Thank you for posting this. The Courtauld Galley in London is our favorite art museum. It has great paintings from the impressionists (many very familiar ones) and from other times that Mr. Courtauld liked. He ran a major chemical company and often used his money to buy paintings that were not yet popular.
One especially nice thing about the Gallery is that it is not crowded. You can stand near a painting and look at it without other people pushing you aside. I have a picture of me standing next to Van Gogh with his ear bandaged. We are members of their association. Posted by: Roland F Hirsch at April 13, 2022 01:29 PM (oMkPq) 344
Makes ya wonder....is there a photo of the guy?
If YOU are an artist does your self portrait match what YOU think you look like? Or what you really do to others? Back before photos Royalty and Nobles would commission portraits of their potential arranged marriage prospects...romantic "Love" wasn't even a consideration. Even among the merchant classes. Class married class, Guild married Guild. "Betrothed" might never even meet until they met at the border enroute to the wedding(where the wife to be had to strip, remove all old clothes and be garbed in "Local" stuffs) How many of those Portraits used some "Artistic License" to guild the Lilly's?"
