Photo Origami- Using Photo Editing Software, start with a single source image and cut it into sections. Then using those sections, construct a composite using multiple copies of those sections folded back upon itself. From "The Getty" series of photo origami images from 2003. This is the location where kids roll down the hill on a sloped lawn. Photo was taken using Kodak Gold 100 film, C-41 development. Scanned into digital using a Nikon Coolscan 4000 35mm scanner.

This beguiling pastel depicts a young woman holding a folded fan. Sumptuously turned out in silk and lace, diamonds and pearls, she smiles enigmatically and returns our gaze with startling directness. Her face is delicately rendered, with soft shading in pastel tones that highlight her features: a gentle curve to her nose, slightly upturned lips suggesting a mischievous mood, and calm, large eyes that look directly at us. Her expression is seems to be full of secrets. Her hair is styled in a neat, pulled-back manner, adorned with a small, delicate ornament resembling a cluster of blue flowers. She wears pearl drop earrings that dangle subtly against her pale skin. Her clothing is a light blue, fine fabric dress with a subtle, ribbed texture decorated with a pale, lighter blue floral pattern, almost like tiny scattered blossoms. The neckline is low, revealing a hint of her chest. Underneath the low-cut dress, she wears a sheer, white lace trim at the collar and at the neckline of the bodice. She holds a silver fan, slender and seemingly made of delicate metalwork, vertically in front of her mouth. Her fingers gently grasp the fan’s handle, her hand resting near her chest. There is a small ring visible on her pinky finger. The overall color palette of the painting is muted and soft, with pastel shades of blue, white, and pale skin tones dominating. It's not a particular likeness of a specific individual, but an example of Rotari's "testine" or "teste di carrattere": images portraying mostly courtiers and country girls, reading, sleeping, laughing, and crying, dressed in Saxon, Polish, and Russian national dress. Rotari produced these testine in volume, most often in oils, though also in pastel. Descended from 17-century Dutch tronie pictures and French Academic têtes d'expression, but endowed by Rotari with a specifically 18-century wit and élan, these pictures brought him steady royal patronage and have became virtually synonymous with his name.

Last night at the Getty our friends’ Polaroids from a gay bathhouse collective 1970s San Francisco went on display. This group show Of photos is as moving and awe inspiring as one could hope. Get there if you can. #thegetty #fairoaks #bathhouse #1970s #queerhistory

This unidentified young pale woman with reddish-brown hair wears an elegant, colorful pink dress with ruffled shoulders that was the height of Florentine fashion around 1540. Her costume and music book indicate her cultured, patrician background; she may have been a member of the Frescobaldi, a powerful Florentine banking family that once owned the painting. The surprising juxtaposition of the bright green of the tablecloth alongside the sitter’s pink dress, and the polished, sculptural treatment of flesh tones are characteristics associated with Florentine painting of the early sixteenth century. Italian artist Bachiacca (Francesco Ubertini) shows off his ability to represent intricate embroidery and textures, such as the fur trim of the sitter’s sleeves and patterns on her dress. According to biographer Giorgio Vasari, Bachiacca was famous for his accurate illustrations of birds, examples of which appear here on the border of the tablecloth—they can be identified from left to right as a great or lesser grey shrike, a blue jay, a wren, and a yellowhammer. The same birds appear in the borders of tapestries designed by Bachiacca, as well as in the fragmentary remains of some of his murals in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. All of these details reveal the artist’s many talents: Bachiacca and his younger brother in fact worked across many media, and were producers of a variety of luxury items for the Medici court, including tapestries, embroidery design, and zoological illustrations. The melody on the sheet held by the woman is unintelligible; the artist, who is not known to have read music, deliberately obscures it with the sitter’s hand. Bachiacca derived his ambiguous space, juxtaposition of dissonant colors, and polished, sculptural treatment of flesh from Agnolo Bronzino's contemporary portraits of members of the Medici court.

A light-skinned woman, her thin hair tightly wrapped in a white scarf, looks forward with teary eyes and a toothless smile. The urban poor of Rome and the peasants of the neighboring countryside inspired Flemish artist Michael Sweerts during his stay in Italy in the mid-1600s. The practice of painting the lower classes was relatively new at the time, and pictures of the poor were often derisive caricatures. Sweerts treated his subject with compassion, vividly capturing the woman's inner beauty while accurately recording her external appearance: the loose skin, thinning hair, and wart on the left side of her face. Although the painting is highly finished, Sweerts's rich brushwork is evident in alternately blended and separated strokes of different shades, creating a strong sense of three-dimensional form. This brushwork is especially striking in the head scarf and the collar. Though a Flemish painter Michael Sweerts worked in Italy, Syria, and India. By the age of twenty-eight, Sweerts was living in Rome and was a member of the painters' academy there. In subsequent years, Sweerts worked as a representative at the papal customs house, collecting wool for a wealthy Antwerp merchant. At the age of thirty-eight, he returned to his native Brussels, where he founded an academy of drawing and joined the painters' guild. Almost all of Sweerts's existing paintings date from his time in Rome. Sweerts painted religious and secular works, but he is most noted for his realistic portraits like this one. His paintings exhibited his interest not only in the observation of daily life but also in the study of classical sculpture, which he pursued in Rome. Four years after returning to Brussels, Sweerts left again, this time to Asia as a missionary. In Aleppo, Syria, Sweerts painted and proselytized, but he was dismissed from the mission after only two years because of his unstable and undisciplined character. He eventually reached Goa, India, where he died two years later.

A chic young woman in a day dress with floral accents holds a parasol against a background of exuberant foliage. In profile, she looks straight ahead (to our left), a picture of poise and detachment even as she seems fully aware of the viewer's admiring gaze. Representing aspiring Parisian actress Jeanne Demarsy as the embodiment of Spring, this portrait debuted at the last major public exhibition of Manet's life, the Paris Salon of 1882. For more than two decades, Manet's paintings were rejected by the Salon or met with controversy; Spring was the most unalloyed success of the artist's Salon career, a career that ended tragically a year later when Manet died of causes related to syphilis. Appealing to critics primarily on account of Jeanne's charm, Spring also showcased Manet's mastery of his medium. The painting exhibits a marvelous range of brushwork, from the thin, delicate floral touches on the dress to the smooth handling of Jeanne's face and the broad, sketch-like strokes of the backdrop. The painting's sensual handling and bright, vibrant palette evoke the pleasures of the season it celebrates. When composing Spring, Manet had in view both the latest fashion trends and old artistic traditions. An avid connoisseur of feminine couture, he pieced together Jeanne's ensemble himself by scouring dressmakers' and milliners' shops. Posing his model in the studio, however, he referred to portrait conventions of the early Italian Renaissance, presenting her half-length, in profile, and against a mass of greenery. More than just an ephemeral "fashion-plate," Manet's archetypal Spring was conceived as a picture for the ages, summarizing his modern epoch through the figure of a beautiful Parisienne.
