I’m not trying to be disrespectful or anything but I have to ask. Do you agree with or support the usage of ai to make images? Those angels with Nike clothes you posted are ai images … this is your blog of course but I wish you wouldn’t share ai content since you’ve shared a lot of real art pictures, specially without tagging it as ai which is misleading… please take this into consideration… ai is a real problem. If anything please tag it as ai so ppl know and don’t have to see it if they have the tag blocked

I was so full of hesitations and thoughts, and I’m still thinking about it - and while thinking about it I forgot to tag it correctly. Thank you! I definitely think that the minimum is to tag it as IA.

I love your blog but can you make up your6mind and quit or stay. This once in a blue moon in between pop up is annoying. Sorry of this sounds crass.

This was the most aggressive love I’ve seen in my life. So, no, I’m on, but by now my rhythm on Tumblr is the rhythm of something you can anticipate only with a lunar calendar. Truth is I don’t identify with a social influencer or whatever, this blog is more a place where I post mental and emotional curiosities when I feel like (¼) or where I’m bored about the time it takes to find something I like (¾).

Do u like the Dutch golden age ?

I know just few things about it but artistically I like it. It was a revolution, “Gone were the paintings of religious subjects and instead a new market for all kinds of secular subjects emerged. The characteristics of Dutch Golden Age art is often likened to the general European period of Baroque painting, which is most associated with grandeur, richness, drama, movement, and tension.” (source)

For whatever reason, I always loved the The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer. The technique in this period adds full of life in its paintings, thanks to the lightning that I find so realistic; I love how shadow is used to fill the landscapes, the portraits, and still lives. Shadow is an object, a tool, not something merely seen.

However, “We believe that the Golden Age is, in a way, the story of the winners, and it hides the colonial past of the country,” Ms. Schavemaker said in an interview. “It hides slavery, but also it covers up poverty more generally. Not everyone participated in the Golden Age, not at all.” (source). That was also a colonial era with slaves and I do not like half-truths nor the artistic depiction of only those who were on the bright side of history. It was realistic in the art technique but to truly like a painting age, I would need it to be nearly photojournalistic.
