He is the great prize ox of the sea, too fat to be delicately good.

A chirimen silk haori. Painted across a deep, subtly mottled ground, the surface is animated by sweeping, calligraphic white lines that traverse the textile with deliberate asymmetry and controlled spontaneity. These gestural marks recall the physical immediacy of brushwork, their tapering ends and granular edges revealing the absorbent qualities of chirimen silk and the artist’s sensitivity to material response. The background’s softly undulating tones—suggestive of moving water, night sky, or atmospheric depth—create a quiet but resonant field against which the linear forms assert themselves with clarity and restraint. The visual language strongly evokes postwar abstraction in Japan, particularly the influence of shodō reinterpreted through modernist sensibilities, aligning the work with currents of Abstract Expressionism and Japanese avant-garde calligraphy that gained prominence from the 1950s onward. Rather than conveying literal imagery, the lines function as carriers of rhythm and energy, embodying concepts of movement, breath, and temporal flow. Symbolically, such abstract linear motifs can be read as expressions of ma, the dynamic interval between forms, where meaning arises not only from the painted gesture but also from the surrounding space. The result is a textile that operates as a meditative field of action, merging traditional Japanese brush aesthetics with the global language of modern abstraction.

we made do with the bumpkintry and pratfalls of GW for a while, but he was less funny in himself than was he a guffawing buffoon to be pied by circumstance ("child left behind", "mission accomplished" etc)

"because at 7 it's marginal, right?" is, admittedly, the funniest thing any president after nixon has said.

Bargellini Madonna: totally beautiful painting, with a little inspiration from Titian, by Ludovico Carracci of Bologna in 1588. Today is his day, too.

just in: beauty is pain or something girls gay guys whatever. iragaray and kristeva whatever. groundbreaking!

wow...you're an arts and culture writer....and you have something to say about looksmaxxing??? in an indie publication??? my white ass is seated....

anyways if we're comparing tv shows to novels then obviously the obvious comparison really it's obvious is that The Shield is a Bush-era Jim Thompson novel

look i like david simon's television shows fine but if someone in real life tried to compare him to balzac i would bark-laugh in their face. c'mon man. get so fucking serious

you can only get this calibre of intellectual on x, the everything app

fondly recalling my dad telling me a huck finn ass story about how they used to go around sneaking into people's backyards and starting fires and stuff and then people would come out with a shotgun loaded with buckshot and fire it over his and his brother's heads

they'll tell you a "secure attachment style" is healthy. that's not true. what you need to do is hunt people and bite them and try to get down to the bone and then get riddled with buckshot for trespassin' on private property. that's how you make friends

i am laughing. i am playing. i'm laughing and playing. fuck.

truly one of the foremost keys-jinglers among lboxd power users...but it's kinda a hip posture to pretend to into "parapolitics" and all that shit i guess

something that does kinda get to me in "art knower" circles is that so many people. like . don't know anything about the real world. math science history uncovering the mystery that all started with the big bang. and all that. kind of a problem !
