A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

If you see this, post something monochromatic.

The grave of a sculptor in Malmö, Sweden. (Also the first linocut I've made for maybe 30 years). #art #cemeteries #linocut #sculpture #Malmö

its thorns

covered with newspapers
the other half holds
every element

the cellar's empty
not a single idea
for a tanka
the floorboards above creak
under the weight of a stranger

W. S. Merwin - an excerpt from the poem Berryman

<…>
you can't you can never be sure
you die without knowing
whether anything you wrote was any good
if you have to be sure don't write.

Alt includes longer excerpt & commentary. I’ll link the full poem shortly.

My mother was born after the era of the suffragettes but she always remembered a teacher who came to school every day (in the 1940s) in suffragette colours

at the bottom 
of the pile a book 
of my chess genius 
and sketches of you
before you moved

brushing fragments
of the eraser
off the page
along with
your face

you're still there
in the soft paper
intaglio
