Catsharks are bottom feeders, often sleeping in groups during the day and hunting at night. This filetail catshark, Parmaturus xaniurus, is one of the most abundant species of catshark in many areas throughout Monterey Bay. These catsharks are observed at depths ranging from 90 to 1,250 meters (295 to 4,100 feet) and can reach up to 61 centimeters (about two feet) in length.

PORTRAIT OF A BLACK WOMAN : The Realist View of Art

PORTRAIT OF A BLACK WOMAN

“Portrait d’une femme noir,” Marie-Guillemine Benoist, 1800

An unknown black woman sits for artist Marie-Guillemine Benoist. (The painting’s name means “Portrait of a Black Woman,” or “Portrait of a Negress.”) The black woman wears a white headwrap and small gold earrings complimenting her beautiful onyx skin. She appears semi naked, bearing her breast.  Her eyes are looking into your soul. Poised for the painter, she appears to have a strong presence and yet a soft innocence in her effort to deliver art. This portrait was painted in 1800, a time when the art world was male dominated. There are few works by women painters at the Louvre Museum. The Louvre, or the Louvre Museum, is the world's most-visited museum, and a historic landmark in Paris, France. It is the home of some of the best-known works of art, including the Mona Lisa.  Marie-Gillemine Benoist, the young artist, proved herself worthy of recognition in this work, with realism and detail. The plain background enhances the strong contrasting detail, and smooth brushstrokes.  Her style of portraiture is painted in the neoclassical style after her teacher, Jacques-Louis David. Some characteristics of neoclassical art are symmetry. unemotional telling of events. simplicity of line, form, and color. The proponents of realism in this portrait of a black woman are crisp, sharp, and very much as if looking at a photo, that could be categorized as photorealism. The human eye appeal is remarkable, especially looking into the human eye of the model. The model she chose is an unknown black woman, a former slave, at a time when the abolition of slavery was a major issue, the young artist was also taking a stand, and from the look in her eyes, the young model as well.  Everything about this artwork is epic.  Beyoncé featuring the artwork in her video “APES**T”, making it even more epic!  A woman artist, and black model- the subject of this painting- is very rare during the mid-20th century and western culture. Even more so, the message that this piece delivers is multi-dimensional. Everything about this painting is a movement of protest. Realist theories of art direct our attention back to how the picture was made and how and why we take it to be “real”.  In realism as a philosophy we look at Plato and Aristotle who remind us that of any work of art, we can and should ask if it is “true”.

IS IT TRUE? NO. Plato believed that all art is imitative of nature and that art could be so alluring or enjoyable that it could be potentially dangerous and must come under scrutiny.  To Plato, imitations are not necessarily the real thing and can appeal to emotions, while communicating a lie. To Plato, these emotions could affect our moral compass. Beauty for Plato is represented in fine moral character vs fine eye appeal.  Plato places a focus on the psychological aspects of art. His beauty of reason is that art is for the service of higher good in the physical world and the invisible world. Plato, however, was particularly worried about the pleasures of Realistic art. 

IS IT TRUE?  IT CAN BE. Aristotle on the other hand does not believe in that heaven. His reality is the natural world. Like Plato, Aristotle agrees that art is imitation, but that we find all we need that is already given to us in nature. We simply find universal or archetypal representation in art. Termed mimetic art, Aristotle simply believes that it can represent any of three things: actually reality, beliefs about reality, or perceptions about what reality should be. Mimetic art serves to beautify, improve, and generalize qualities of nature. These successful representations should engage our attention and emotions as if they were the real thing. For Aristotle the art should invite the viewer to think about it because of the way the artist presented it for perceptual experience. Aristotle embodied beauty as something functional and appealing. For Aristotle there is no one (Platonic) form of beauty. For him beauty is form and the form of beauty is integration of all parts. Beauty can not be achieved in independent values, all elements make the whole. The proportion and form can not be discovered without cognitive discernment and dependence of each element to the whole. Every element unifies to create the art. Realistic representation, however, for Aristotle was always from the artist’s point of view. 

REALISM. Like Aristotle believed, most people do find pleasure in realistic art. This art is to be admired, but like Plato, the pleasure principle could have caused an uproar at the time, and even now as the black woman is not often seen solely as a piece of art. She is often objectified and placed on a pedestal for display, but she gets little to no credit. Her name is forgotten, her talents are taken and she is taboo. A fetish of sorts for those that want to sleep with her, those that want her time and labor while they reap the benefits. Realism directs one’s attention to the subject matter of the artwork: the unknown black woman. Realism encourages you to look at realistic representations as transparent windows into the world, with no personal or cultural interventions. Plato thought that those realistic representations could be misunderstood and lead viewers astray in search of pleasures. Aristotle gathered other criteria when judging art, more importantly, its contribution to true knowledge. True knowledge. Like Aristotle, I think this art is true because of its contribution to true knowledge. The knowledge that this woman was a former slave and she is unknown. The reality of her presence makes you search for her truth. The realism of the portrait by Marie-Guillemine Benoist is direct, your focus and your eyes meet the unknown black woman. The portrait takes on a cognitive and aesthetic importance.

PAUSE. REFLECT. GRATITUDE

source

Well done for getting through another week champs, remember to celebrate your wins not matter how big or small they are - a win is a win!

Often when it comes to mental health, our challenges, difficulties & issues can overshadow the little things that are considered wins. Wins differ from person to person, for some a win could be getting out of bed & for others it could be making it into work even when you're not feel so great.

As much as it's important to take life at your own pace, start paying attention to the hurdles you're jumping over. It's easy to focus on things that aren't going right, but even during those times you can learn to practice gratitude & show appreciation for the small things in your life.

"This kind of thinking leads to a release of serotonin and dopamine, chemicals in the brain that are associated with happiness and pleasure. Acknowledging gratitude also decreases stress hormones. The short-term result is a reduction in anxiety and an improvement in mood. In the long-term, regularly practicing gratitude may also lead to lasting changes in your brain, priming you to be more grateful going forward"
