William-Adolphe Bouguereau painted this in 1890. This is a reproduction on linnen - made in Italy and hanging above our bed.
Bouguereau is pronounced "boo goh roe" according to Wikipedia ;-).
It is "L'Amour et Psyché, enfants" or, translated: "Cupid and Psyche as Children" and is probably his most famous painting. This is not "Le Premier Baiser" ("The First Kiss" - that painting is from 1873).
Much warmer colors when viewed large on black.
Every morning the honey-colored light creeps through the window to wake me up these days, and lits up only the picture of Cupid and Psyche above my pillow while the rest of the room is still sort of dark.
Good morning!

André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (1819 - 1889) a self-taught daguerreotypist, researched and improved upon the existing collodion-on-glass negative process, which he outlined in his first publication, Manuel Opératoire de Photographie sur Collodion Instantané, 1853. That same year, he returned to Paris and opened the largest studio in Paris, which spread across two floors. It was there that he introduced his carte-de-visite portraits which were a great financial success. For the 1855 Paris Exposition Universelle, he formed the Société du Palais de l'Industrie and obtained the rights to photograph all the products and works of art exhibited at the Exposition. Eder writes "Disdéri was considered the outstanding portrait photographer of his time in Paris. Napoleon III appointed him court photographer. In 1861, he instructed French officers in photography under orders from the minister of war. Disdéri's popularity is best shown by the fact that his character was introduced in 1861 as a star attraction on the stage of a small vaudeville theater in Paris by a realistic representation featuring his bald head and tremendous beard."

Adolphe-William Bouguereau, 1882. This is one of the most popular paintings in the Detroit Institute of Arts.
River and State was commissioned by the ICOA Chamber Orchestra, Daniel Feng, Conductor, as part of their New World/New Music series. The piece is in honor of the 125th anniversary of Antonin Dvorak's 9th Symphony, From the New World, and was premiered at the Bohemian National Hall in NYC. The accompanying composition is Dvorshock by Bruce Adolphe - also commissioned by the ICOA. The premiere of River and State featured a live performer, Laura King-Pazuchowski, on stage with the orchestra, interacting with the VR environment we developed. This video was captured from within the VR environment used during the performance. The music is a live recording of Dvorshock.
Our concept for this virtual cinema performance is about the promise of a new world, its unlimited potentials, personal freedoms and inevitable progress, and how technology has always played a role in these fantasies.
Our performer, Laura King-Pazuchowski traversed the membrane of our shared environment of lived experience and the fantasy of virtual, illimitable, dream-space.
The VR environment features renderings of Lower Manhattan, Inwood Hill Park, Ellis Island, and an amalgam of different Subway stations. The piece is also inspired by observing flash floods on certain Manhattan streets built above drained streams. whose resulting chaos suggest the transposed, consistent presence of foundational forces occluded by the trappings of contemporary material culture.
The Tulips are a reference to the Tulip tree of Inwood Hill Park where the initial meeting, and subsequent purchase of Manhattan from the Native population occurred. The tree died in the 1933. The sculpture of the Tulips encountered during the capsule scene is a rendering of a currently infamous Jeff Koons sculpture that has a connection to the Statue of Liberty.
The metronome seen at the beginning on the shore returns in the final scene as a monument sized rendering of Man Ray's "Indestructible Object". The character in front of the metronome in the final scene is a rendering of the performance artist.

Artist Biography: Born in La Rochelle, Bouguereau attended high school in Pons and in 1842 entered the Municipal School of Drawing and Painting at Bordeaux. In 1846 he moved to Paris and was accepted into the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Studies in Rome from 1850 to 1854 further reinforced the classical direction of his early training. Favorable critical attention to his works at the Salons of 1854 and 1855 and the Universal Exposition of 1855 brought a number of commissions and helped launch his career as one of the most famous and influential nineteenth-century academic painters. Bouguereau was appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1875 and elected a member of the Institute of France and an Officer of the ;egion of Honor in 1876. Many other honors and commissions followed. In 1896 in his second marriage he wedded Elizabeth Jane Gardner, an American painter and longtime friend and pupil. He died in 1905 at his home in La Rochelle.

German postcard by Ross Verlag Foreign, no. 3337/1, 1928-1929. Photo: Paramount.
Suave and debonair American actor Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963) with his trademark waxy black moustache was one of Hollywood's most distinguished stars and one of America's 'Best Dressed Men'. He started as a matinée idol in the silent cinema in such classics as Ernst Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924). His sound films included Morocco (1931) with Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper, A Star is Born (1937), and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas. In 1931, he was nominated for an Oscar for The Front Page (1931).
Adolphe Jean Menjou was born in 1890 in Pittsburgh. He was the elder son of hotel manager Albert Menjou. His Irish mother, Nora Menjou-Joyce, was a distant cousin of the famous Irish author James Joyce. Menjou had a younger brother, Henri Menjou, who made an attempt to become an actor and played in three films for Paramount in the mid-1930s. Their French émigré father moved the family to Cleveland, where he operated a chain of restaurants. He disapproved of show business and sent his son to Culver Military Academy in Indiana in the hopes of dissuading him from an acting career. Later, at Cornell University, Menjou abruptly changed his major engineering to liberal arts and began auditioning for college plays. He did some vaudeville work, and from 1915 on, he appeared as an extra for such film studios as Vitagraph, Edison and Biograph. During World War I, he served as a captain with the Ambulance Corps in France. After the war he found employment off-camera as a productions manager and unit manager. After six years of struggle he finally broke into the top ranks with substantial roles in The Faith Healer (George Melford, 1921) and Through the Back Door (Alfred E. Green, Jack Pickford, 1921), starring Mary Pickford. He earned a Paramount contract and played Louis XIII in The Three Musketeers (Fred Niblo, 1921), starring Douglas Fairbanks and the influential writer Raoul de Saint Hubert in Rudolph Valentino's classic The Sheik (George Melford, 1921). Menjou established his slick prototype as the urbane ladies' man and wealthy roué opposite Edna Purviance in Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (1923). Paramount capitalized on Menjou's playboy image by casting him as matinée leads in Broadway After Dark (Monta Bell, 1924), Sinners in Silk (Hobart Henley, 1924), The Ace of Cads (Luther Reed, 1926), A Social Celebrity (Malcolm St. Clair, 1926) and A Gentleman of Paris (Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast, 1927).
The stock market crash led to the termination of Adolphe Menjou's Paramount contract and his status as a leading man. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "MGM took him on at half his Paramount salary and his fluency in such languages as French and Spanish kept him employed at the beginning. Rivalling Gary Cooper for the attentions of Marlene Dietrich in Morocco (1930) started the ball rolling for Menjou as a dressy second lead. Rarely placed in leads following this period, he managed his one and only Oscar nomination for "Best Actor" with his performance as editor Walter Burns in The Front Page (Lewis Milestone, 1931). " Other successful films include Forbidden (Frank Capra, 1932), Little Miss Marker (Alexander Hall, 1934), A Star is Born (William A. Wellman, 1937), Stage Door (Gregory La Cava, 1937) and Golden Boy (Rouben Mamoulian, 1939). During the war, he entertained the troops overseas and worked for the radio. He played the slick and slimy lawyer Billy Flynn opposite Ginger Rogers in Roxie Hart (William A. Wellman, 1942). After the war he played secondary parts in The Hucksters (Jack Conway, 1947) and State of the Union (Frank Capra, 1948). His last lead was in the crackerjack thriller The Sniper (Edward Dmytryk, 1952). His role was a San Francisco homicide detective tracking down a killer who preys on women in San Francisco. For the first time in nearly two decades, he appeared without his moustache .In 1947, Menjou cooperated with the House Committee on Un-American Activities in its hunt for communists in Hollywood. Menjou was a leading member of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, a group formed to oppose communist influence in Hollywood. His last notable film was the classic anti-war picture Paths of Glory (Stanley Kubrick, 1957) in which he played the villainous General Broulard. After Disney's Pollyanna (David Swift, 1960), featuring Hayley Mills, he retired from acting. In 1963, he died in his home in Beverly Hills after a nine-month battle with hepatitis. He married three times. His second wife was actress and co-star Kathryn Carver. They married in 1928 and divorced in 1934. Since 1934 he was married to actress Verree Teasdale, with whom he had an adopted son, Peter. His autobiography was called 'It Took Nine Tailors' (1947).

Notes: Auguste Adolphe Bertsch (1813-1871) was a Paris optician, pioneer photographer and exponent of microphotography. In 1851, he improved the collodion process invented that year in England by Frederick Scott Archer, and using a solar microscope, began photographing lice, antennae of flies and crystals. Two years later he presented his photomicrographic research to the French Academy of Science. He was a founding member of the Société française de photographie in 1854. In 1861 he invented the first sub-miniature camera called the Chambre Automatique de Bertsch which featured a fixed focus lens with a view of less than 1 inch in diameter and used 1 1/2 inch wet collodion plate. He was killed in the Paris Commune of 1871.

Notes: Baron Louis Adolphe Humbert de Molard, born in Paris on October 30, 1800 and died on March 17, 1874, was a French pioneer of photography. From the beginning of the 1840s, Baron Humbert de Molard became interested in the first photographic techniques. He is one of those wealthy amateurs who were passionate about this emerging art. After the death of his first wife, he remarried in 1843 with Henriette Renée Patu, miniaturist designer and lithographer, who owned land in Lagny-sur-Marne. From 1843 to 1850, he produced a series of daguerreotypes but gradually favored the calotype technique , which he experimented with from 1844. He was partly trained by his friend Hippolyte Bayard . He used other techniques, such as albumen printing and wet collodion . He came into contact with Abel Niépce de Saint-Victor to try to improve certain processes and then became the defender of the development techniques promoted by Gustave Le Gray. His productions have remarkable pictorial qualities and reveal a great mastery of the technical stages (lighting, emulsion, development). He staged activities related to the peasant world, as well as several gender figures, helped by his steward and model named Louis Dodier. In 1854, he was a founding member of the Société française de photographie and sought to promote various techniques of development on paper from negatives and resigned in 1864 for health reasons. He published his research between 1851 and 1866 in the journal La Lumière, which was for a time the bulletin of the Société héliographique de Paris. (Source: Wikipedia)
