[Dedicated to ending what, those things I actually hate]

Two clouds were coming; I knew that whider was up to something.

It smelled bad not in                    a healing way

If you bent in  you would feel it stifling you to almost the experience of death.

They say, he used something over the mouth and nose; and that’s how he got her to fall down.

She remembers it smelled really really bad; like someone’s breath that is unimaginably gross; but not something that you could ever get to in that

Stink.

What bothers me most of, about incidents like that, is that he came in from behind her; swiped her face; held it down while she was still standing

And that in it she was actually small compared to him, and I don’t just mean shorter and lighter; I mean smaller.

He deserves that.

French artist

Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas [Degas]

was born,

July 19, 1834

in Paris, France

❦

Famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings of dancers, Degas also produced bronze sculptures, prints, and drawings.
Although Degas is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist, and did not paint outdoors as many Impressionists did.

“You know what I think of people who work out in the open. If I were the government I would have a special brigade of gendarmes to keep an eye on artists who paint landscapes from nature. Oh, I don’t mean to kill anyone; just a little dose of bird-shot now and then as a warning.”

Degas was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers and bathing female nudes. In addition to ballet dancers…

Italian Jewish painter and sculptor

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani

was born,

July 12, 1884,

into a Sephardic Jewish family in Livorno, Italy.

❦

A painter very dear to me, Modigliani is known for his portraits and nudes with elongated faces and bodies and the ‘blank’ eyes. His own words about the eyes give a perspective of those ‘blank eyes’:

“With one eye you are looking at the outside world, while with the other you are looking within yourself.”

His favorite subject was by far the human form. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906 he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with artists such as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. By 1912 Modigliani was exhibiting highly stylized sculptures with Cubists of the Section d’Or group at the Salon d’Automne.From 1909 to 1914 he devoted himself…
