9 His chief concern in this work, however, was the interplay of light and shade, the reflections, perspectives and outlooks – even at the cost of a truthful depiction: geometrically laid marble floors were rare in bourgeois households in Holland.

Seems a little hate and envy on the first of the upper middle class.

12 Established as a civic foundation in 1815 by the banker and businessman Johann Friedrich Städel, the Städel Museum ranks as Germany’s oldest museum foundation. Under a single roof, its collection offers a virtually complete survey of seven hundred years of art from the early fourteenth century to the present, with focuses on the Renaissance, the Baroque, early Modern art and much more.

28 I enjoy the Golden Age Dutch painters. This one is interesting for the detailed and meticulous interior with its clean lines, almost photographic, and especially for the use of light and reflections. The rooms and the decorations are so strong, the people are almost superfluous and generic. It's an odd combination. The painting is 17th century but it has a nearly surreal feel to it.

BTW, check out Alinga's still life paintings. They are superb and rich in color and detail.

It's a beautiful painting - the light, repetition of shapes, colors, and detailing - and it looks like an actual photograph. Thanks. (I'm ambivalent about hanging it, though.)

Paradoxical Mechanism of Action - a limerick

The insomniac housekeeper's song
When her diurnal rhythms went wrong
She discovered indeed
With a big dose of speed
She was able to sweep all night long.

113 > So Russia just launched a large attack on Ukraine during the war and Putin is being condemned for for the attack during a war.

The definition of war must have changed.
----------
Ukraine purportedly tried a drone attack on Putin's helicopter the other day. If failed. But if true then I guess Putin's attack was retribution for it.

Neither side wants peace. Let them have at it. Let Europe deal with it.

The (for its time) fierce squabbling between adherents of the Quadrilateralist School and the Pentagonalist School left the art world at sixes and sevens.

Three months later, it was over and well on its way to being forgotten.

and she began to doze,
She sensed the hand
of her old man.
I came for a nap, and gave him a slap.
No! Can’t you see that I’m clothed?

I always thought they look silly. Sillier than normal golf, clubs, that is. All golf is inherently silly to some degree, even before considering sartorial decisions...

The rules of golf state that one cannot straddle the line of the putt. It's the "Sam Snead Rule."
