One of Peter's earlier pieces. Having been a serious scientist all his life ( His mother created a lab for him when he was 8!) he does well with his retirement projects in art, don't you think?
Pixie's take on a Modigliani *wink*
The sun was pouring through the window and Pixie was in seventh heaven on the back of the sofa
"I write to pour myself out to you and to affirm myself to myself. I am the prey of great powers that surge forth and then disintegrate... A bourgeois told me today - insulted me - that I or at least my brain was lazy. It did me good. I should like such a warning every morning upon awakening: but they cannot understand us nor can they understand life..."
Amedeo Modigliani
an excerpt from the letter of Modigliani to his friend Oscar Ghiglia
Ritratto di Paul Guillaume è un dipinto a olio su tela realizzato nel 1916 dal pittore italiano Amedeo Modigliani. È conservato presso il Museo del Novecento di Milano.
Paul Guillaume fu un importante collezionista d'arte di Parigi. Modigliani gli dedicò tre ritratti. In questo dipinto, l'artista raffigura Guillaume con un solo occhio, il motivo lo spiega lo stesso Modigliani con queste parole: "Perché con uno tu guardi il mondo, con l'altro guardi in te stesso".
Carrefour boulevard du Montparnasse et boulevard Raspail. Big news in Montparnasse. Famed café La Rotonde just reopened! The café is one of the sister cafés with; Le Sélect, La Coupole and Le Dôme. La Rotonde has been closed since mid-January 2020 after a pre-dawn fire bombing. The renovation was extensive. At the time there was a lot of unrest after weeks of labor strikes and nationwide protests against the government plans to overhaul France’s pension system. In recent years La Rotonde has become known as a favorite haunt of President Emmanuel Macron and was the site to celebrate his victory in the second round during the Presidential election.
La Rotonde opened in 1911. As with the other cafés on Boulevard du Montparnasse the clientele was renowned. Including; Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Pablo Picasso, Max Jacob, Amedeo Modigliani, and Moïse Kisling. To name a few.
I have only been inside this establishment once, just to say hello to a friend who works there (she actually used to work at Le Sélect!) In the photo, on the left, you can see Le Sélect’s white and green scalloped awning peeking through the trees.
I have two things to be happy with this. 1. I’m happy for the loyal clientele who frequent La Rotonde. 2. I’m happy that Le Sélect is not a favorite haunt of President Macron. 80 days without Le Sélect because of the Coronavirus was bad enough. I can’t imagine 172 days without my café because of a fire bombing!!
Continuing the black and yellow theme.
Apparently - because I don't know this kind of stuff - this is the last naturally-aspirated Ferrari 458 in the world. And even if you could afford it, you can't buy it. On the same day that we saw people looking at Canalettos, Picassos, Modiglianis and Matisses, no-one had anywhere near as much reverence for those as they did this priceless objet d'art.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, during the Belle Époque, many artists had studios or worked in or around Montmartre, including Salvador Dalí, Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro and Vincent van Gogh. Montmartre is also the setting for several hit films. This site is served by metro line 2 stations of Anvers, Pigalle and Blanche and the line 12 stations of Pigalle, Abbesses, Lamarck - Caulaincourt and Jules Joffrin.

Grande nudo disteso è un dipinto a olio su tela (73 x116 cm) realizzato nel 1917 dal pittore italiano Amedeo Modigliani.
Originariamente il quadro fu acquistato da Léopold Zborowski: passò poi in numerose collezioni fino ad arrivare al Museum of Modern Art di New York, attuale sua collocazione.
Interessante notare la differenza della pennellata con cui l'artista ha voluto contrapporre la pelle della modella, con tratto sottile e preciso, allo sfondo in cui ha utilizzato, invece, un tratto più grasso e largo. La posizione assunta dalla donna accentua la sensazione di distensione espressa già dai lineamenti del volto.
Place Émile Goudeau who saw in his time the beginnings of Picasso, Modigliani, Brancusi, Gris, Van Rees...
i've tried drawing modigliani's "reclining nude" on the pear, using water color pencils. i know it's not really recognizable, but trust me: drawing on fruits is not as easy as it sounds

The long journey nears its end as UPs donation train passes the small town of Durant, Iowa and the cemetery beside it. As our train nears the homestretch, one can't help but marvel at the whole thing. Long-dead locomotives and even rollingstock, each one carrying with it plenty of history and stories alike, now have a fresh chance at life they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. The Challenger has been dormant for a dozen years, and the 5511 five times that. Even the DDA40X, not pictured here, hasn't been roaming around for a fair few years now. It will be one hell of a day when they and the rest of the equipment have new life breathed into them.
I can't even imagine how insane the roads and photolines will be when those days come. Oh, boy. At least they were somewhat manageable here. More than once, people came and parked right in front of my shot, but thanks to another railfan intervening, we got the space cleared for our shots, and we got that striking view of the slow moving train. The days storms can be seen back behind the dormant steamers, and in fact some of those clouds were just overhead. Very, very narrow timing granted us a sliver of clear sky and the light we needed for our shots. Nice when things work out that way, eh?
