I can still hear your awkward laugh
I don't mean to say it sounded awkward
But more that I could hear your discomfort with social nature in your laugh
I can still see your fractured artwork in my head
I don't mean to say it looks disjointed or broken
I mean to say that I can feel your shattered ego when I see each individual stroke
I am still so devastated when I think of what you've done
I don't mean to sound so angry
It's just that I miss you so much now that you've made such a permanent choice

I always get so fucking mad when I remember that it’s actually a 16-year-old Algerian girl who influenced BOTH Picasso and Matisse. and. No one gives a rat’s ass about her work which was very focused on women and nature. History -or people dare I say- didn’t bother to remember her name because she was a young Algerian woman and no one cares about Maghrebi/Arab women. unlike P*casso & M*tisse who both became legends, almost gods both during their lives and after their deaths, no one knows her.
Her name was Baya Mahieddine.

My two most beautiful masterpieces

I'm about to start working on my next masterpiece
All I'm doin right now is starin at this plan that God laid before me
It's seems almost....
Insurmountable
Is that the word?
Maybe, doubt it though
I've been dreamin day and night about this
I eat, think, and sleep this
I been picturing the whole thing, splayed out in front of me
Not knowing.....
How to get the ball rolling...
Finally it gets to much, I just gotta start moving
Don't just put it off and put on a movie
Step one
Set the tone;
This is very important
Gotta get the pretense vibe just right
Sit down and clear my mind
Just like when I write
So I put on some music, start feeling it out
Get ready to sit down and get my groove right
Step two, this is also very crutial
I gotta get in the correct head space
So smoke you a smoke
Take you a toke
Just pour a couple shot and take off your coat,
Clear your throat
This a very important step, don't forget it
But the next step is impressive
If you just press in
Step three, pay all your attention
Ask God to guide you, guide your hand, lay out the plan
.........
.........
.........
.........
*I just threw this together, just to set the tone for my next art piece I've started*

He is a willow
Strong and flexible
Forever bending, but not breaking
Wind sweeps the sweet smell of blossoms
He is sturdy
Yet delicate
Like it's root systems

Christian Dior | “May” | c. 1953 • • • Dior reveled in the paradox of the natural and the sophisticated. The most telling example is his frequent self-presentation, not as a man who symbolized the authority of French taste, but rather as a simple gardener, farmer, and mill owner.
In “May,” flowering grasses and wild clover are rendered in silk floss on organza. This “simple” patterning of meadow-gone-to-weed is composed of the tiniest French knots and the meticulously measured stitches of the hand embroiderer, suggesting that for Dior, it was not only that beauty resides in the most rustic, but also that the most successful artifice is a beguiling naivété. • • • #whattheywore #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #historicfashion #defunctfashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #dior #christiandior #1950sfashion
