A colorful modernist painting in a custom brass frame with light patina and wax finish. #Repost @heliclinefineart Stuart Davis (American, 1892-1964) “N.Y. Street Signs" Modernist gouache and traces of pencil on paper in the proto-pop art style for which Davis is celebrated. 1938, Signed lower right. 11 1/4 x 15 1/4 (sight) inches. Frame by Bark Frameworks: 18 1/2 x 22 inches. Stuart Davis (1892 – 1964) is regarded as one of America's finest modernists. He was well known for his jazz-influenced, proto-pop art paintings of the 1940s and 1950s, bold, brash, and colorful, as well as his Ashcan School pictures in the early years of the 20th century. With his contribution of five watercolors, Davis was among the youngest participants in the seminal Armory Show (International Exhibition of Modern Art) in 1913, organized by a group of artists in order to introduce Americans to new developments in art across the Atlantic and at home. Excited by the formal innovations and bold use of color displayed by the European modernists, particularly Matisse, van Gogh, and Gauguin, Davis dedicated the next decades to becoming a modern artist. . During Davis's own lifetime, his work was the subject of several retrospectives, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York (1945). He was represented by Edith Halpert at New York's Downtown Gallery. . #frieze #hamptons #tefaf #artbasel #artsy #modernart #modernism #midcentury #workonpaper #midcenturymodern #barkframeworks #artconsultant #cubist #precisionist #artcollector #abstract #1930sart #20thcenturyart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgcz6CClNOu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m thinking about the gaggle of baby artists I’ve suddenly collected. They’re probably 15-17 and I wanna drive them places

#I wonder how this mentorship thing will go because uh…I don’t really like the ideas of the senior muralist ): #there’s no modernity! it’s 1:1 historical replication with no pizzazz. every town ever has that! #I’m gonna push for a more precisionist direction maybe. at least create some visual interest #idk how successful I’ll be. this isn’t my design anymore (idk why they called for designs in the first place) #it’s seeming like it’s gonna be funded by the family with money and what they want goes :/

Art Deco detail of ventilation grille in the Chanin Building, completed in 1929.

From the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts: Art Deco architecture and design and Precisionist painting and printmaking blossomed concurrently in the late 1920s and early 1930s; angular patterns, restrained color palettes, and pronounced linearity appear in both movements. A landmark of American Art Deco architecture, the Chanin Building was completed in 1929, rising fifty-six stories on the corner of East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City. In this photograph, Andrew Bordwin highlights the building’s famous ventilation or convector grilles installed near the site’s three entrances. These vertically elongated grilles are bronze, but they appear silver in Bordwin’s black-and-white image. The ascending coils and rays themselves resemble skyscrapers, and Bordwin’s photograph demonstrates the lasting influence of Precisionist themes and aesthetics.

George Copeland Ault (1891–1948) American

Ault was trained in British Impressionism whose style was shaped by his interests in the avant-gardes, realism, and folk art. 

He became associated with Precisionists such as Charles Sheeler and Ralston Crawford, who had in common a prominent interest in architecture and the stark use of line, geometry, and planes of color. 

In Ault’s work, scenes of urban modernity and the nostalgic rural were captured and preserved in streamlined compositions of ordered shapes.

MJ Describe Vs Clip-Interrogator 2.1

Describe and Clip Interrogator are both AIs that examine pictures and break them down into image prompts. The two approach the task from different intents, however, and using them is the best way to demonstrate. We'll start with "Natural Beauty", a style transfer piece I made a bit over a year ago.

To be extra-studious, I'll use the same seed on all of them, all gens made in Midjourney V5.

Clip Interrogator:

Prompt: a large tiger standing on top of a lush green field, inspired by Augustin Meinrad Bächtiger, deviantart contest winner, sumatraism, colorful intricate masterpiece, in a style blend of botticelli, highly detailed generative art, stained glass art, vibrant cartoon art, mountain, walk, 7 0 mm. digital art, much detail, devainart

Lengthy, detailed, prompt, with results that are kinda in the vibe. A few almost seem like they're made of fruit and plants like the original.

Midjourney Describe:

Describe gives four prompts per "ask" and re-rolls them (while Clip Interrogator seems to use a single seed).

Prompt: tiger is walking around through a forest in a colorful drawing, in the style of intricate textures, vibrant cartoonish --ar 3:2

Prompt: a tiger with colorful balloons and flowers in its body, in the style of intricate psychedelic landscapes, organic texture, flickr, abstracted nature, furry art, colorful comic strips, intricate landscapes --ar 3:2

Prompt: eloe zoe's new book 'tiger psychedelic tiger', in the style of digital painting, pointillist landscapes, digitally enhanced, colored cartoon style, david choe, anna dittmann, saturated color fields --ar 3:2

Prompt: tiger walking in the grass in background, in the style of intricate psychedelic landscapes, colorful caricature, large canvas sizes, digital art wonders, commission for, precisionist art, digital art techniques --ar 3:2

From the results, you can see the difference. Clip Interrogator is, arguably, closest in style and tone to the original. Midjourney's results have more "chaos" in them, and are clearly intended to be more for iterating new semi-related variants of a concept rather than imitating directly, which keeps with the specific design of a lot of MJ's features.

The images autogenerated for this post are in the public domain, as they do not meet the threshold for minimum human expression. I've put them all in their own post here.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …

30 A.D. – Nerva, Roman Emperor born (d.98); Although much of his life remains obscure, Nerva was considered a wise and moderate emperor by ancient histories, a view which was later popularized by the 18th century scholar Edward Gibbon, who termed the rule of Nerva and his four successors as that of the Five Good Emperors. By adopting Trajan as his heir, Nerva is said to have established a tradition of succession through adoption among the emperors which followed.

Like many others of his times he enjoyed both women and his boys. Contemporary gossip records that his most celebrated liaison was with this imperial predecessor, Domitian. It appears that Domitian, while a student, had the same problem most modern students have – a shortage of funds. So he did what some enterprising young scholars continue to do today: he turned a few tricks, one of whom was the Roman senator, and later Emperor, Nerva.

1883 – Charles Demuth was born on this date (d. 1935). He was an American Precisionist painter. Demuth was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and studied at Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. While he was a student there he met William Carlos Williams at his boarding house. The two were fast friends and remained close for the rest of their lives.

He later studied at Académie Colarossi and Académie Julian in Paris, where he became a part of the avant garde art scene. The Parisian artistic community was accepting of Demuth's homosexuality.

While he was in Paris he met Marsden Hartley by walking up to a table of American artists and asking if he could join them. He had a great sense of humour, rich in double entendres and they asked him to be a regular member of their group. Through Hartley he met Alfred Stieglitz and became a member of the Stieglitz group. In 1926, he had a one-man show at the Anderson Galleries and Intimate Gallery, the New York gallery run by Stieglitz.

Charles Demuth used the Lafayette Baths as his favourite haunt. His 1918 homoerotic self-portrait set in a Turkish Bathhouse is likely to be set there.

Turkish Bath with Self-portrait

His most famous painting, The Figure 5 in Gold (1928) (also sometimes called I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold), was inspired by his friend William Carlos Williams's poem The Great Figure. This is one of nine poster portraits Demuth created to honour his creative friends. He painted poster portraits for artists Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, Charles Duncan, Marsden Hartley, John Marin and for the writers Gertrude Stein, Eugene O'Neill, Wallace Stevens and Williams.

Three Sailors

Demuth's will left many of his paintings to his friend Georgia O'Keeffe. Her strategic decisions regarding which museums received these works cemented his reputation as a major painter of the Precisionist school.

Demuth suffered either an injury when he was four years old or may have had polio or tuberculosis of the hip that left him with a marked limp and required him to use a cane. He later developed diabetes and was one of the first people in the United States to receive insulin. He spent most of his life in frail health, and he died in Lancaster at the age 51 of complications from diabetes.

1935 – Alain Delon is a French actor and businessman, with French-Swiss dual citizenship since 1999.

Delon acquired Swiss citizenship on September 23, 1999, and the company managing products sold under his name is based in Geneva. He is a citizen of the community of Chêne-Bougeries in the canton of Geneva.

At 14, Delon left school, and worked for a brief time at his stepfather's butcher shop. He enlisted in the French Navy three years later, and in 1953-54 he served as a fusilier marin in the First Indochina War. Delon has said that out of his four years of military service he spent 11 months in prison for being "undisciplined". In 1956, after being dishonorably discharged from the military, he returned to France. He had little money, and got by on whatever employment he could find. He spent time working as a waiter, a porter, a secretary and a sales clerk. During this time he became friends with the actress Brigitte Auber, and joined her on a trip to the Cannes Film Festival, where his film career would begin.

At Cannes, Delon was seen by a talent scout for David O. Selznick. After a screen test Selznick offered him a contract, provided he learn English. Delon returned to Paris to study the language, but when he met French director Yves Allégret, he was convinced that he should stay in France to begin his career. Selznick allowed Delon to cancel his contract, and Allégret gave him his debut in the film Quand la Femme s'en Mêle (When the Woman Butts In). Delon then appeared in the film Faibles Femmes (Weak Women/Three Murderesses). This was also the very first of his films to be seen in America, where it became a huge success.

In 1960, Delon appeared in René Clément's Purple Noon, which was based on the Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. He played protagonist Tom Ripley to critical acclaim; Highsmith herself was also a fan of his portrayal. He then appeared in Luchino Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers. Critic Bosley Crowther of the New York Times said Delon's work was "touchingly pliant and expressive."

He rose quickly to stardom, and by the age of 23 was already being compared with French actors such as Gérard Philipe and Jean Marais, as well as American actor James Dean. He was even called the male Brigitte Bardot. Over the course of his career, Delon has worked with many well-known directors, including Luchino Visconti, Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, Michelangelo Antonioni and Louis Malle.

He continued to make successful films through the 60s and 70s. Then followed a string of box office failures in the late 1980s and 1990s. One notable film during this time was Jean-Luc Godard's Nouvelle Vague in 1990, in which Delon played twins. Delon's last major role was in Patrice Leconte's Une chance sur deux in 1998, another box office disappointment.

On 20 March 1959, Delon was engaged to actress Romy Schneider, whom he met when they co-starred in the film Christine (1958). During their relationship, he had an affair with German actress, singer and model Nico. On 11 August 1962, Nico gave birth to a son, Christian Aaron "Ari", fathered by Delon. The child was raised mostly by Delon's parents.

In December 1963, Schneider and Delon decided to break the engagement. On 13 August 1964, Delon married Nathalie Barthélemy. Their son, Anthony Delon, was born in September. The couple divorced on 14 February 1969.

In 1969, Delon and his wife found themselves at the center of a massive scandal when their bodyguard was found shot to death, his body left in a garbage dump. The subsequent investigation into his killing threatened to implicate many of France's most prominent celebrities and politicians in a sordid web of murder, drugs, and sex. Many predicted the demise of Delon's career, but he spun the tabloid headlines to his favor. In the eyes of many filmgoers, his myriad portrayals of gangsters, killers, and sexual deviants suddenly took on new reality in light of the similar exploits he experienced in his offscreen life.

A notorious television interview in which he admitted to past homosexual liaisons – as well as many other seamy adventures – tantalized audiences even more.

Delon announced his decision to give up acting in 1997, although he still occasionally accepts roles. Since the formation of a perfume label in his name, Delon has had a variety of products sold under his name including wristwatches, clothing, eyewear, stationery and cigarettes.

1982 – Samuel Falson, better known by his stage name Sam Sparro, is an Australian singer, songwriter and record producer. He was signed to the British record label Island Records. Sparro is best known for his 2008 single "Black and Gold".

Sam Sparro was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Sparro's father, Chris Falson is a gospel minister and recording artist of Maltese descent who has written music for Star Trek and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Sparro's mother, Karyn Falson (née Frankland) is from Australia. His brother plays guitar professionally while his mother plays organ at a Baptist church.

The family relocated to Los Angeles when Sparro was ten years old. His father had signed a deal there and was recording a soul album, he took Sparro to a church in Tujunga to hear some of the genre's singers. Fellow church goers, were the McCrary family. Chaka Khan became one of his early admirers after hearing Sparro's singing through knowing the McCrarys.

His first role as a child actor was in a McDonald's commercial. His stage name was derived from a family nickname, which in turn was inspired by the Sydney radio announcer Gary O'Callaghan's on-air character "Sammy Sparrow".

Sparro left Los Angeles and returned to Sydney, where he lived with his grandparents and worked for a public relations company, before travelling to the UK, immersing himself in the music scene in London. He returned to Los Angeles in 2002, where he took a job in a coffee shop. It was during this time that he wrote his single, "Black and Gold" with his producer, Jesse Rogg.

When growing up, Sparro regularly performed backing vocals at his father's concerts and on his music releases. He states "I'm a spiritual person, but … not into any religion. I was always kind of a non-denominational Christian" and "a bit of a gypsy".

Sparro is openly gay. He did an interview for Attitude magazine and was featured on the front cover. Sparro married his boyfriend DJ Zion Lennox in a private ceremony in California on 21 September 2018.

1995 – Representatives of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays approached television stations in four US cities to buy advertising time for two ads, one on the prevention of suicide among gay and lesbian youth and one about gay bashing. All stations refused to air the suicide ad, and only two cable stations and one network affiliate station would air the gay-bashing ad. They were told the ads offended community standards.

1995 – In Zimbabwe, Tribal Chief Norbert Makoni addressed Parliament, saying gays and lesbians should be sentenced to whipping.

2003 – The first gay character comes out on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Marco, played by Adamo Ruggiero, comes out in the two-part episode titled "Pride."

Charles Sheeler: Across Media

Charles Brock

University of California Press 2006

Published to accompany a traveling exhibition, this book is a very impressive retrospective of the work of Charles Sheeler (1883-1965). Examining Sheeler’s work by his various media—film, photography, commercial photography, mixed media, and photomontage—Across Media presents a glorious catalog of Sheeler’s beautiful abstractions of everything from the mundane (typewriters, his favorite stove, telephones) to his glorious monumental portraits of skylines and industrial factories. Tied to his fellow Precisionist contemporaries Charles Demuth and Paul Strand, to Edward Hopper by the lonely desolation of his cityscapes, and at times oddly reminiscent of Italian surrealist Georgio de Chirico, Sheeler’s modernist vision stands as a notable landmark of mid-century America.

Elsie Driggs (1898 – 1992) was an American painter known for her contributions to Precisionism, America's one indigenous modern-art movement before Abstract Expressionism. 

She was the only female participant in the Precisionist movement, which in the 1920s and 1930s took a Cubist-inspired approach to painting the skyscrapers and factories that had come to define the new American landscape.

About the top painting on the left: Elsie Driggs was inspired to make this painting by a childhood memory of Pittsburgh’s steel mills. Returning twenty years later to capture the scene, she initially tried to paint it from inside the mill. The owners thought the factory floor was no place for a woman, though, and management worried that she might be a labor agitator or industrial spy. Today the painting may seem to warn of the dangers of industrial pollution, but Driggs did not have an oppositional agenda. She ended up basing the work on drawings she made from a hill above her boardinghouse, later writing that she stared at the mills and told herself: “‘This shouldn’t be beautiful. But it is.’ And it was all I had, so I drew it.” See the work now in Where We Are: Selections from the Whitney’s Collection, 1900–1960. [Elsie Driggs (1895–1992), Pittsburgh, 1927. Oil on canvas, 34 ¼ × 40 ¼ in. (87 × 102.2 cm). Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Gift of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Accession number 31.177]
