favorite artists: Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)
“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”

my observations on the right wing of Jean Fouquet’s Melun Diptych:

  • all the “babies” in this (i.e., cherubim and Jesus) are just middle-aged heads scaled down and grafted onto bodies that look like those sand-filled stress balloon things. all of them look world-weary and slightly angry
  • the red cherub above Jesus is staring directly at the viewer like it’s in The Office
  • the red cherub on the bottom left is really weirdly shiny (compare with shading on the one on the bottom right) which is probably due to the placement of the light source but it still makes their leg look like a giant earthworm
  • Madonna is supposed to be sitting on a throne but nothing about her posture or the shading on her robe suggests that her legs are actually bent
  • where is the cherub on the bottom right putting its hand and why is it giving Jesus the stink-eye
  • Madonna is the Borg queen
  • the shading on Madonna’s left boob doesn’t change at all when crossing between her skin and her corset which suggests that the corset actually has a perfect hemispherical cup of rigid material at that exact location, roughly a quarter inch from her armpit
  • Jean Fouquet has never seen a woman naked
