23 Das Art!!

(Or would it be "die Art" or "der Art" or . . . Never mind.)

This looks like a fun one to pick apart. I get a Mardi Gras vibe, the two faces being like the huge figures on MG floats. And the blue swirls on the right and bottom, the changes of color, and the various triangular slashes of color throughout give it a sense of energy and speed. It is not a static work.

34 Interesting. My only real problem is the color palette. But, then again, it's probably me and I'm missing what the artist is trying to convey with the bright almost burning colors.

Yes -- just the suggestion of the turret and the long-barreled gun! Yet this could not be a reaction to WWI or the Spanish Civil War or WWII; none of them had happened yet.

The tapering, or maybe collapsing, apartment blocks are disorienting. Which I think our artist may have intended.

The woman in profile has what you might call a "handsome" face, not exactly pretty. The other face has a diamond pendant for a nose. The attractive sister and the homely one, perhaps?

72 Dr. Strange meets the Mountain of LSD Brownies/i]

On a side note here, I think the Marvel people got kind of lucky with the actors they had for the movies up to and including Infinity Wars.

RDJ, Hemsworth, and Hiddleston were all perfectly cast, and even most of the less important actors ended up being good choices from Olsen to Pratt, to Rudd and so on.

Part of their problem now is that they are trading in good actors, or at least ones well suited for the role, for well, a more "diverse" selection.

83 The narrowing roadway on the far upper right is dotted with dark figures. I can't tell if they are running away from the titanic visions in the central parts of the painting, or toward them.

The greenery looks like carved blocks of emerald.

This would have made a good cover for some of Ballantine's paperback SF books in the Sixties and Seventies. They often used abstract art that had nothing to do with the novel or stories inside, but the covers caught your attention.

90 There's a trained requirement for drawing, where you have to force yourself to render what you see, not what your brain already knows, e.g., when you need to draw two eyes, you don't just plunk down two circles somewhere about where you think eyes go. I'm guessing Boccioni does exactly the opposite exercise -- take whatever you see and chuck it out the window.

95 Boccioni, from Wiki: "He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement[.]" The pic they use on his page looks a lot like Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret.

He was also a sculptor. His sculptures look very much like this painting, i.e., very surreal.

Yes; there are museum steps with people poised on them, and little floating letters like "H" and "E" below. Perhaps they are to indicate sound coming from the blue swirls, as though they are auto or musical horns?

121 Interesting use of distortion and color to create a dynamism which contrasts with the unemotional expression in the reflected face. This isn't a style I am drawn to but it does catch the eye. I don't know if he used pastels in his paintings but they have the appearance which is a bit unusual.

It's interesting how in the lower left there looks to be horse and carriages driving down the street behind the tank. I also think like the "Simultaneous Visions" are a before and after, or a "what is" vs. "what could be"? The lower left has people going about their daily lives. The Upper right has the tanks and mobs. That the colors are bright and the big heads are smiling is interesting too. Like you said, this cannot refer to WWI. Perhaps a prophecy? Boccioni was part of the Futurist movement which produced a manifesto with proto-fascist ideas.

147 Odd indeed, how I find much more to say about, and appreciate in, an abstract or surreal work like this than I often do with more realistic art. Maybe it's because my mind looks for similarities to the real world in this; whereas a simple painting of folks on a picnic, say, has nothing to *find*, because the resemblances to the real world are all right there in front of me.

186 One reason I like it because it's painted like a color prism where rainbow colors appear in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Another because it's so busy it takes time to study every segment of every rainbow color to catch what else has been painted 'inside' of it. It seems both calming and annoying, probably depending on how much time is spent searching, but also enjoying the flow of the jewel colors.
(Sorry, a lack of talent when it comes to an eye for a lot of art & not a clear explanation, above.)

207 The LA City Clowncil was considering a walk of fame star for Gal Gadot yesterday, and a couple of the lefty regulars couldn't resist bashing her for being a former IDF soldier and Jew during public comment.

Lefty Jews think they are an oppressed minority in the US, but every other leftist group thinks they are uber white devils.

That sounds like a challenging thing to do, but worthwhile. I think letters sometimes work better in these sort of situations as a first means of contact as the recipient can ponder it without having the direct experience of being on the spot in a phone call. I will pray. May rough places be made smooth and the eyes of your sister's heart be opened. Thanks for trusting us by asking for prayer, Bulg.

215 196 Everyone, I would like to ask for prayers. I am planning today to send a conciliatory letter to my only sister, from whom I have been estranged for almost twenty years. This is as a result of the family breakup we had over our parents' estates. My sister has begun communicating with my brothers, from whom she was formerly estranged, so I thought that I would reach out to her and attempt to reestablish contact, especially since I am told that she is in ill-health. So I ask for prayers that my attempt at outreach will be successful.

Thanks.

Not sure of the specifics, but the Clowncil charges a fee to install a star on the walk of fame, so I imagine the walk is in the city's jurisdiction. I have seen them approve various other stars during the few months of watching their antics.

It is amazing to watch a commie controlled body in action; almost all votes are 15-0. And, weirdly, there is pure free speech during public comment, because of the Brown Act. Lots of N-bombs and F-bombs and C-bombs, lol.

JD Vance mentions some ineffectual "random" country and the Brits' mind immediately think of their own country.

294 Went to go see the movie, "The Monkey" for a second time on XD yesterday.

I('ve been thinking about it on and off ever since the lively and adventurous Mrs naturalfake and I saw it last week.

I rarely double dip like that.

"The Monkey' ism a much better movie than it isshort story by Stephen King.

Very good and very well-put together horror-based comedy.

Check it out if you're looking for something different.

Hey ellipsis, was reviewing comments last evening (as I usually can't during the day), and got a kick out of your question to me about believing in a little "bipartisanship" when it came to "burning down The House."

Funny, as I had considered including them (but too numerous to name) as there are of course more than enough snakes on our side, but at least most had the "good optics" sense to continually rise in unison and applaud all the #WINNING, so I thought I'd give them a temporary reprieve before lobbying for a harsher punishment (especially those three long-suffering asshats Benedict Roberts, Glitch McConnell, and Anthony Kennedy),

Similarly, for my book sales, in the six month period before the statements (April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023), based on the September 30, 2023 statement, 3,161 copies of my book were sold, but in the six months after the statements, only approximately 1,100 books were sold."

Self-Defense is already criminalized in Califzuela (de facto if not de jure) -- in pretty much every blue shithole state and municipality -- which was one of the primary reasons I escaped from that third world state a dozen years ago.

Someone here was a prophet eight-ten years ago, saying: if you're a conservative living in Califzuela, you're similar to a Jew living in 1933 Germany.
