In 1917–18, Matisse painted nearly fifty portraits of an Italian model known as “Lorette” or “Laurette.” These works mark his shift from a severe, abstract style to the more naturalistic approach of the 1920s. Two of these works hang side by side at VMFA. Lorette H. matisse 1917

Simply stunning! When India was a manufacturing powerhouse, producing exquisitely crafted goods for European royalty and aristocracy, Vishakhapatnam was known for its furniture, such as this ivory-paneled sandalwood cabinet I saw at the VMFA. ca.1780 @KS1729 @avataram @dpanikkar

"What do we read? We read newspapers concerned with wars, murders, rapes, politicians, and athletes, and that's about it. ... People today are hunting around for something they have lost. Some of them know that they're hunting. The ones who don't are having a really hard time."

Deer Park Empty hills, no man in sight — Just echoes of the voice of men. In the deep wood reflected light Shines on the blue-green moss again. —Wang Wei, tr. Vikram Seth

Alfred Sisley painted only a handful of still lifes, and this is the only one featuring flowers. So lovely. "Wildflowers" Alfred Sisley ca. 1875 Oil on canvas Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

On our walk in the woods yesterday, I found a mating pair of cicadas. For all the noise they make to get here, the affair itself was very quiet.

They lie, bleached bones in a heap, time's loud dry laughter, like death pointing its finger, insinuating: Where the beast ends there you end as well; there's no distinction; in your case too, when life's wine's been drained, the broken cup will be left like that in the dust. —RT

Alpine pussytoes and a lone bearberry that wandered in. In this realm high above the timberline, plants must stay low and cling as close to the ground as they can, for the mountain winds are so ferocious that they will uproot anything that grows tall.

There is poetry in that cushion moss covering the dead tree stump, as if it has been reincarnated for another inning of greenery.

It seems as if the silt-filled waters of the Athabasca River, sluicing their way through this gorge, are caught between a rock and a soft place.

This box elder tree was at the edge of the deciduous realm, the hardship of growing just four months in a year deformed its trunk almost into a sculpture. As if the stresses welled up inside are bubbling in burls, comforted by yellow lichens.

Along the steep, unstable slopes of the mountains, where I struggled to walk straight, I noticed trees with their trunks almost fully exposed, their roots wedged under rocks. Only the deft survive these slopes.
