Modern art galleries and museums have always wanted to tell a story in the usual fashion of linear history. So as a rule rooms in galleries tended to be set out in historical periods or particular styles. The contemporary curator however eschews all that, throws everything into the mix and allows the viewer to piece together their own story.
Now this is all very well for the informed art lover, but can be very confusing to those who have never studied art history. It's a sink or swim model, and the jury is still out on whether this approach is going to be successful.
This section of the QVMAG was recently renovated to allow for more works to be shown from the very large collection that Launceston has built up over 200 years (the settlement itself was founded in 1806). One problem for photographers is that the light intensity has been reduced to 40 lumens per square metre (for example a 60 watt light bulb provides 800 lumens per square metre). This is so the works are not damaged by excess light. But it does make getting good photographs of the works very difficult indeed. This photograph, for instance, appears much brighter than the lighting actually was.
Mostly like the American painter Thomas Hart Benton… But I wasn’t conscious of it when I took it. I love his sense of rolling motion as an image of America.
The name was given to what was the oldest Florentine bridge when the bridge to the Carraia was built, then called "Ponte Nuovo" in contrast to the pons Vetus. Beyond the historical value, the bridge over time has played a central role in the city road system, starting from when it connected the Roman Florentia with the Via Cassia Nuova commissioned by the emperor Hadrian in 123 AD.
In contemporary times, despite being closed to vehicular traffic, the bridge is crossed by a considerable pedestrian flow generated both by the notoriety of the place itself and by the fact that it connects places of high tourist interest on the two banks of the river: piazza del Duomo, piazza della Signoria on one side with the area of Palazzo Pitti and Santo Spirito in the Oltrarno.
The bridge appears in the list drawn up in 1901 by the General Directorate of Antiquities and Fine Arts, as a monumental building to be considered national artistic heritage.

peaceful evening scene in Lyon, France – where the bold lines of contemporary architecture meet the soft light of dusk. The Musée des Confluences and the Raymond Barre Bridge cast their golden reflections on the calm waters of the Rhône.
Une scène paisible en soirée à Lyon, France – où les lignes audacieuses de l’architecture contemporaine rencontrent la lumière douce du crépuscule. Le Musée des Confluences et le Pont Raymond Barre se reflètent dans les eaux calmes du Rhône.

"If a sense of too many and great difficulties / rising by existing conditions / flushes your brain / then crossing may seem an unlikely act // For an easy traverse / change conditions or your perception / or dare crossing, whatever"
(c) Drager Meurtant, 2024-2025
Back when high was high and low was low / And ten cent would buy you the matinee show / Give a damn who the star, the theatre was dark / And took you away with a glow (Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek)
