Marlene Dietrich (27 Dec 1901 - 8 May 1992) was one of the most popular singers of her time. In 1967 when the German-American singer performed next to Fernando's and my recording studio at the Lunt-Fontanne, we had a client who offered to take us. To our surprise he had something like a large Daimler convertible with the roof down, and when we pulled up in front of the theater all eyes were on us, everyone speculating as to who we could be. Dietrich's performance was perfect, and our client had so much influence that the three of us were able immediately to go back stage to meet her. Yes, she knew him, and she gave Fernando and me the pre-autographed picture.
Our client took us again in the convertible to his apartment on the East Side, and with his impressive equipment he played her commercial album. To our surprise it contained every song in the order she had just performed it, for we compared the evening's Playbill with the album. Talk about German efficiency and ability!

The influence for the above photo is the 1970's heavy eyelash look with a 2018 adaption using yellow as the only added colour to give the notion of freckles and sunshine. Lips are uncoloured to keep focus on the yellow. Hair is rough straightening to create a carefree look and photo over lit with harsh lighting to bleach out other skin tones.

George Inness, (1828 - 1894)
The Catskills, Toward Evening,
Oil on canvas painting, signed and dated, 1870.
Depicts a landscape with a creek running diagonally at bottom center, a large tree in the center foreground, mountains in the distance along the horizon, and sunshine gleaming through clouds at top.
George Inness focused on landscape painting throughout his long and productive career. Beginning as an artist of the Hudson River School, he was influenced by the European old masters and the French Barbizon school, later turning to a more atmospheric, Tonalist style. This view of the Catskills was painted mid-way through the artist's career, shortly before he left America to study and paint in Europe for four years.
Inness was deeply interested in religion and philosophy and studied the ideas of Emanuel Swedenborg. He taught art at the Eagleswood Military Academy, where his students included Carleton Wiggins and Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Louis Comfort Tiffany in New London
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpMVFDjhPXM&t=6s
This Gilded Age permanent collection gallery includes stained-glass windows, lamps, favrile glass vessels, silver, jewelry, paintings, archival photographs, and other objects, many of which come from Tiffany family descendants. Louis Comfort Tiffany’s parents hailed from Killingly, CT, and although they lived in New York City, the family often visited relatives in Norwich and New London. Louis’s first wife, Mary Goddard, was from Norwich, as was Louis’s brother-in-law Alfred Mitchell, who married his sister Annie. The Mitchells acquired a home in New London overlooking the Thames River, and Louis and his family were frequent visitors there in the mid-to-late 1870s and 1880s.
Tiffany in New London features three stained-glass windows from New London that anchor the gallery, evoking the contemplative memorial and ecclesiastical environment for which they were created. The local patrons who commissioned these and other objects offer insight into a key period in New London’s history, when the region flourished and was a popular seaside resort for the wealthy. The stained-glass windows also illustrate Louis Comfort Tiffany’s many technical innovations in glassmaking, as do examples of Tiffany Studios’ lamps and favrile glass. Tiffany was an artist and designer of incredible breadth who worked in a range of styles and materials. He traveled extensively and was influenced by the art and culture of the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. Related Aesthetic-era and Art Nouveau fine art and decorative arts are included to show their influence and overlap with Tiffany’s innovative designs.

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is home to a collection of more than 18,000 works.
The Museum opened in March 1932 with only 13 objects from the permanent collection on view. Of the original 13 on display, four were of Asian or ancient origin, four were European sculptures – two of which were quite modern – and five were European works on paper dating from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Today, the collection has grown to include more than 18,000 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, furniture and decorative arts as a result of active acquisitions by the Museum and generous donations to the Lyman Allyn.
The collection spans a 2,600-year period, ranging from ancient Greek and Roman artifacts to works by living artists, with particular strengths in American and European art from the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable artists in the collection include Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, John Copley, Winthrop Chandler, Paul Revere, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Sol LeWitt, Eugene Delacroix, Charles LeBrun, J. A. D. Ingres, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, among many others.
The 18th Century
New London’s deep water harbor has driven the regional economy since colonial times, connecting southeastern Connecticut to the broader Atlantic world. In the 18th century, local shipping merchants specialized in the West Indies trade, exporting livestock and food to Caribbean plantations in exchange for sugar, molasses, and rum. Economic growth and stability in the second half of the century enabled colonists to acquire a greater range of household goods—textiles, silver, glass, ceramics, furniture, and paintings among them. Some goods were imported, while others were produced in the home or by craftsmen and artists, whose work and skill expanded to meet increasing demand. The Tea Table and the painting of Sarah Deshon (from the same family) tell a local story, showing how the Deshons of 18th century New London cemented their status and wealth from trade with objects that conveyed their social and economic standing.
Connecticut played a key role in the American Revolution, as political tension over taxation and colonial governance led to war with Britain. With the British headquartered in New York City, New London’s harbor was an ideal site from which to initiate naval attacks on British loyalists. New London’s privateering (the use of authorized private ships to attack and loot enemy ships) prompted British troops to retaliate, burning New London in the Battle of Groton Heights on September 6, 1781.
Daniel Huntington’s portrait of Abigail Dolbeare Hinman, 1854–56, recreates an episode from this event, showing Hinman standing with her musket in hand, attempting to shoot Benedict Arnold, who can be seen through the window, sitting on horseback.
The 19th Century
As the young nation sought to define itself in the first half of the 19th century, artists created objects and paintings to unite Americans around common ideals of liberty, justice, and hope for the future. Some objects were overtly patriotic, while others were less direct. Hudson River School landscapes, for example, expressed pride in the nation’s natural resources, with scenes from the woods, rivers, and mountains of the northeast standing in for all of America, suggesting the promise of land, the spread of civilization, and the unique, almost spiritual quality of the landscape.
Artists also traveled to Europe to study art and see the sights, painting mountains and classical ruins, as Thomas Cole did in his the majestic view of Mount Etna, drawing visual connections between the ideals of the newly minted American Republic and those of classical antiquity.
Steam power, the railroad, the telegraph, and improved roads and canals ushered in the age of industrialization, facilitating the mass production and transportation of goods. Whereas many objects had been crafted by hand in the previous century, the 19th century saw the rise of goods made with machines. Connecticut mills and factories produced munitions, tinworks, clocks, furniture, and textiles, among other things. Early factories were fueled by whale oil, an important industrial lubricant and lamp fuel supplied by whaling, the most significant part of New London’s economy for several decades.
Isaac Sheffield, who painted portraits of many local whaling captains, portrayed five-year-old James Francis Smith shortly after his return from a long whaling voyage in 1837 with his father, New London whaling captain Franklin Smith. They had gone to Desolation Island in the South Seas, and his portrait shows him wearing a penguin skin coat, with the Chelsea, the ship his father had captained, in the background.
The United States grew dramatically over the course of the 19th century, expanding westward and growing in population with waves of immigration. Regional differences and tension over slavery and states’ rights erupted in the U.S. Civil War (1861–65). In New London County, a number of textile mills were built to supply the Union troops. After the war, New England’s mills became an industrial powerhouse, employing and sustaining entire towns.
The 20th Century
In a period of tremendous growth and change, artists looked forward and back, charting new terrain with abstraction, while revisiting their artistic roots through innovative approaches to traditional genres such as landscape, still life, and portraiture.
The early 20th century was a time of rapid expansion and industrialization fueled in part by waves of immigration. A decade of exuberance followed World War I before the stock market crash of 1929 initiated the Great Depression of the 1930s. Abstraction and European modernism filtered into American art, while a realistic, regional style simultaneously held sway, resulting in a mix of subjects and styles.
Many artists were drawn to the energy and bustle of the modern city, awash in crowds and transformed by industry, skyscrapers and the automobile. The city could be intense, noisy, and oppressive, however, and some artists retreated during the summer to Connecticut art colonies to paint peaceful landscapes and scenes of leisure. Guy Wiggins drew inspiration from both the city and the country, painting impressionistic views of New York in winter, as well as scenes such as Church on the Hill, ca. 1910–12, showing country life in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Beatrice Cuming’s painting, Chubb, shows a submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut during World War II. Cuming’s canvas affirms New London’s long connection to the sea and celebrates industry at a time when the nation was consumed with the war effort.
Post-War Art
In the prosperity and growth of the post-World War II era, a multiplicity of artistic trends and styles arose, dominated by abstraction. New York emerged as the center of the international art world. The 1960s and ‘70s witnessed cultural upheaval as people of color and women sought equal rights and many protested the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The prevalence of advertising and mass media led artists to explore new themes, performance, and technology, questioning the definitions of art and the idea of originality.
Since the 1980s, the postmodern art world has been in flux, and issues of gender, race, politics, and cultural identity have been at the fore in our globalized and technology-driven world. In A.R.T. (in the new world order), 1994, African-American artist Willie Cole uses text on a blackboard to create an acrostic poem of sorts, using various word associations and erasure to define and comment on art and culture.

I'm loving this card. I made this for the Ways to Use It Challenge #203, which was to use alcohol in some way. I reached for my Copic markers right away, and wanted to ink up this awesome stamp from Stamps Happen. I thought it might be fun to mix up some Valentine's cocktails, and so this is what I came up with....The sentiment, which is computer-generated, reads "under the influence"....and inside: "of your love."
