Oana dabbles in drawing. I had thought she had hippie parents or parents way too enthused about Lilo and Stitch but I guess she just has Romanian parents.
For dinner, I had a chopped Lacinato kale salad, with frisee, chicory, wild rice, dried cranberies, sesame brittle, honey crisp apples, meyer lemon miso viniagrette.

Gerrit van Honthorst - Triumph of the Winter Queen
Depicts Elizabeth Stuart, who was Queen of Bohemia for the winter of 1620 until she was driven from the throne and settled in the Netherlads where she lived out the rest of her life. The chariot is trampling Death, Envy, and Neptune (odd because Bohemia is landlocked. And I mean the sea god because the planet was known at the time but mistaken for a star) and she’s surrounded by her family members.
the painting belongs to someone but the MFA helped them conserve it and put it on display.
Martin Puryear - Hibernian Testosterone
It really is an Irish elk (not necessarily Irish, nor an elk)
Martin Puryear - Rawhide Cone
Martin Puryear - Malediction
Martin Puryear - Big Phrygian
Martin Puryear - C.F.A.O.
Something by Martin Puryear. I must’ve forgotten to take a picture of the title.
and some Chinese textiles from rural villages in Héběi, Shāndōng, Shānxī, Shǎnxī, and Gānsù provinces.
Most of them are anonymous unless specified otherwise

there are some new surrealist galleries.
Max Ernnst - The King Playing With The Queen
Paul Delvaux - Proposition Diurne (La femme au miroir)
hey hey, I can’t show that one
but look it up while in the privacy of your own home.
Paul Klee - Luna der Barbaren
Paul Klee - Narr in Christo
Paul Klee - Landschaft UOL
Paul Klee - Schlangenbeute
Paul Klee - Mauerpflanze

Ernst Kirchner - Sertigweg im Sommer
Depicts the valley near his home in Davos, Switzerland.
The back side, which can’t be seen right now, depicts the Baltic island of Fehmarn.
Kar Schmidt-Rottluf - Sternenandacht
He painted this while serving in the Eastern Front of World War I, envisioning a more hopeful, egalitarian, and spiritual age that never came to pass.
Jorge Camacho - Ascendant licorne: le scarabée
Gertrude Abercrombie - Slaughterhouse
She was painting liminal spaces before it was cool.
Francis Picabia - Halia
René Magritte - La Légende des siècles
René Magritte - Le Pain quotidien
René Magritte - L’Art de la conversation
René Magritte - Le confort de l’esprit
Max Ernst - deux personnages et oiseau
Max Ernst - the endless night
he’d press two surfaces together and then pull them apart (i’ve done that in drawing and painting class back in high school)
Joan Miró - Femme entandant de la musique
Henri Matisse, on May 8, 1945, the day Nazi rule ended, wrote to Miró “at last! Let us rejoice together!” The painting suggests that though Hitler’s ghastly regime is dead, Spain remains under the yoke of Franco’s fascist dictatorship.

he was one of the first Americans to embrace abstraction.
Winslow Homer - Playing Old Soldier
Winslow Homer - The Dove Cote
Winslow Homer - Rocky Coast and Gulls
Winslow Homer - Leaping Trout
Winslow Homer - Bo Peep (girl with shepherd’s crook seated by a tree)
Unidentified Artist - The Dinner Horn
it blobbed around here and does that thing where you help self-driving cars identify a school bus only to find all your images failed to update but really I’m pleasantly surprised.
Winslow Homer - The Adirondack Guide
but I only had four to upload so there wasn’t any fail.
Winslow Homer - The Fallen Deer
I’ve noticed that they never have you identify anything with a human being in it.
Winslow Homer - Old Settlers
Winslow Homer - Hunting Dog Among Dead Trees
Bella’s not an artist. She has a septum piercing
Layla and Amelia were too busy sleeping to chat. The train was apparently delayed 20 minutes and maybe that’s why it was so crowded but maybe it’s because while it was night and felt later than it actually was, it was Friday at 7 PM.
Shedrick is into film.
burning question: Wait. If Trump is president of Venezuela and Palestine, does that mean he can't be president here?
