Мадонна предположительно купила украденную 30 лет назад картину Жерома Мартена Ланглуа «Диана и Эндимион».
Дискуссия началась после того, как она недавно засветила её в соцсетях.
Теперь, вероятно, она будет обязана вернуть полотно в музей французского Амьена. В 1878 оно попало туда из Лувра и было утеряно во время эвакуации во Вторую мировую.

‘being artist or not is like breathing, you don’t question breathing. otherwise you just die. so you breathe.’
случайно наткнулась на старое интервью Марины Абрамович с советами молодым художникам, все-таки легенда❤️🩹
What do you think about Louis Vuitton & Yayoi Kusama collaboration?
I personally was a bit terrified by this commercialised usage of the artist’s image.
Especially minding the fact that Kusama herself is struggling with a lifelong mental illness and has been held in a specialised institution for 40 years already.

как вы знаете, на средневековых картинах ни одна деталь не случайна.
так вот, мне попалась статья “Food and Drink in European Painting, 1400–1800”,
о символизме еды в ренессансной (и более поздней) живописи.
Вот, например, пару слов про гранат:
“The pomegranate, for example, is depicted in mythological paintings as an attribute of Venus and a symbol of desire, fertility—because of its many seeds—and marriage, but appears as frequently in sacred images of the Virgin and Child. There are several legends of the pomegranate’s creation, contributing to its symbolic potency; according to one, it grew out of blood streaming from the wounded genitals of the lustful Acdestis.”
not sure if anyone has a desire to dig deeper into Prince Harry’s childhood trauma but here it is…
Prince Harry - Spare
(добыла вам успевшую стать скандальной автобиографию принца Гарри #viaArtBooks)
‘It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.’

Did you know how Meret Oppenheim got the idea for this piece?
"There is one thing I do not want you to ask me," Meret Oppenheim told an interviewer in
1978. "I have been asked so often, how did you have the idea of the fur cup?' It bores me," she complained.

работы Луиз Буржуа в разных интерьерах
Best known for her large-scale sculptures and installations, Louise Bourgeois was a French-American artist that dealt with themes of sexuality and death in her works. Bourgeois experimented with mediums, including paintings and prints, where she confronted herself with different subjects and topics, but always reasoning on the human vulnerability and emotions.
Image 1: It never gets old... Designed by Luis Laplace, this spider sculpture "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois dominates the home of art collector and gallerist Ursula Hauser, bringing a powerful and captivating contemporary feel.
Image 2: Designed by Bryan O'Sullivan, the Red Room wine bar at The Connaught in London features the "| Am Rouge" artwork by Louise Bourgeois in the room's focal point between Brian Clarke’s panels, adding a finishing touch to this seductive interior.
Image 3: When everything comes together in perfect harmony, just like in this collector's home. Designed by Stephen Sills, "Arch of Hysteria" (1993) by Louise Bourgeois hangs from the ceiling together with
"PH-66" (1955) by Clyfford Still above the fireplace.
Image 4: Sometimes a clean interior is the best backdrop for highlighting an art collection. In this apartment designed by Francis Sultana, you can find a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois on the bronze table and Francis Picabia's painting on the Raffia-lined wall through a decorative mirror from Michele Oka Doner.

На фото – знаменитая рождественская ёлка Гарольда Ллойда🌿
Harold Lloyd probably isn’t a name that rings many bells in the 21st century, but spoiler – he’s one of the most influential film comedians of the silent era, making up the the first trio of the silver screen’s laugh-makers, alongside Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. With his signature straw boater and round horn-rimmed glasses, he made 200 films, and did all his own stunts, his most famous being the iconic scene from Safety Last (1923), which sees him hanging from the hands of a giant clock at the top of an early skyscraper. But besides the movies, there’s something else that Harold Lloyd’s name is synonymous with – the Christmas tree.
😮For all-year round, Lloyd kept the most magnificent tree in the land, standing in the orangery of his Beverly Hills estate at 20 feet tall, 9 feet wide and almost 30 feet around, covered in $25,000 worth of ornaments collected from around the world.
