The sense that a subject has been seized from life’s continuum became one of the essential criteria of Edwardian portraits. In this work of 'A Cornish Boy,' (1917) Harold Knight painted his sitter wearing a hat typical of Newlyn fishermen.

🎃 Looking to read something truly terrifying?

ZU spät, habe ich nicht mitbekommen. Mist.
Genau so ist es. Merz hätte nie an die Macht kommen dürfen und die anderen in seinem Dunstkreis hätten direkt harte Konsequenzen ihres Tuns zu spüren bekommen sollen. So aber eskalieren sie jetzt.

Honoré Daumier, Horsemeat is a Healthy and Easily Digestible Food, 1856
Until Honoré Daumier entered the scene, the art of caricature was mainly the domain of the Brits. One of his caricatures landed him six months in prison: he drew the king as a gluttonous Gargantua.

'Avenue de la Republique, Paris.' A contemporary writer (this is from 1915) noted of Luigi Loir, ‘One can say of this master that he created a genre: ‘parisianism’...he is, in effect, the painter of Paris par excellence, often momentary and fleeting scenes are no secret to him.’

Ich habs versucht, aber darf echt nicht laut schreiben, was ich gerade denke. Und herausgerutscht ist ihm gar nichts. Bah.

I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.

Naivität? Man sollte mal einen genauen Blick auf die Finanzen dieser Frau, bzw. Familie werfen, ob die persönlich von dieser Art "Politik" profitieren. Anders ist das nicht mehr zu erklären.

Man kann sich natürlich, wie die drei Affen, die Hände vor Augen, Ohren und Mund halten. Nix hören, nix sehen, nix sagen. Das ändert die Realität trotzdem nicht. Wir sehen, wie die USA in den Faschismus abgleitet, wollen es aber nicht wahrhaben.
"Black is the most essential color" as Odilon Redon once said. Between 1870-1890 he created a series of drawings and lithographs he called "noirs", some of them are really, really strange, touching on the realms of dreams.

'Rusty Stream and White Pebbles,' was painted in the late autumn of 1921, a year after Félix Vallotton chose to spend his winter months in Cagnes. Used to the low, grey skies of Normandy, he was struck by the brilliance of the light in this part of France.
#Delacroix is one of the most famous painters of 19th-century France. He also produced illustrations – although Delacroix's illustrations were not well received in his homeland, #Goethe greatly appreciated his illustrations for Faust, he found them ‘whimsical’. #Delacroix #Lithography
Hinzu kommen, gerade in Brennpunkten, komplett durch Flucht traumatisierte Kinder aus traumatisierten Familien aus komplett anderen Kulturkreisen. Man kann nicht erwarten, dass sich da die Probleme von alleine lösen.
Armut wirkt sich massiv auf das Verhalten aus: Armut führt zu Depressionen, Angststörungen, Aggressionen. Wenn die Eltern schon nicht in der Lage sind, sich zu helfen - wie sollen es dann die Kinder können? Und dieses "Früher hatten wir nicht..." - wäre aber nicht schlecht gewesen.
