Art Nouveau Around The World

Palermo, Palazzo Petyx.

Oh My! How have I been missing this era in my trip around the world of art? For some reason I had tipped my nose (upward of course) and walked right on by. Well, no more!

I think I saw it as an enactment of those sconces along the wall dressed like fans. Gold too. Now this is an example of such splendor that ostentatious never crosses my lips. Enjoy I shall.

1890—1910

This is from Pablo’s “Blue Period.” It’s called Woman In A Flowered Hat.

Just think, this was painted in 1901. I wonder, had it been purchased then, at what profit today.

Books & Art & Words

Paperbacks Plus BookstorepaperbackBookstore Abibliophobia – noun: (uh-bib-li-uh-foh-bee-uh)            
                  An extreme fear of running out of reading material—————————————————————————————————
But it’s not the fear of running out of just any books, it’s the fear of running out of the Right books. There are Right books, you see. The books written by a favorite author, The books you know you will read, just waiting for the right time and savoring the time before the reading, books that require days filled with rain and storm, books you’ve wanted to read for years. Those sorts of books. Yes?

Hieronymus Bosch & Music

Many of our artists have fun with what they do like our friend Bosch—a great example. I wonder how many writers and painters and other artists have played a joke within their works, only to have those things slip by us. Not that it would matter to the creator, I’m sure. The fun is in the doing, yes?

And then, someone took the notes (in Gregorian Chant) from the butt and played them. The score was then placed on the pianist’s blog where it has gained much attention. Here is the link to the music:      http://www.newsok.com/article/3933917

Sitting at the piano in the Adams Recital Hall at OklahAmeliaHamrickoma Christian University, honors student Amelia Hamrick performed the 27-second piece of music that she discovered on a more than 500-year-old painting by Hieronymus Bosch. And what did she call the music she played and posted? Why, Butt Music, of course.

Imagine sleeping in that bed of windows and rain. Reading maybe. Dozing and dreaming.

Sometimes rain is the sweetest gift we can have of a day.

And sometimes we don’t know why we didn’t bring our umbrella.

Yet remember the days when we asked if we could go out and splash through the running water flooding the street gutters?

Was that when our worlds were small and long ago?

Or was it a different neighborhood?
