Found some awesome books at a thrift. One of them is about digital photography by the 4H. That had me remembering working at Eastern Mountain Sports and discovering that there are other groups like scouts too! Field scouts? Or something like that. And my favorite, orienteering groups.
There was a whole round of creativity sparked by a "commercial" Dana did for some kind of prototype truck with more "storage space" than other features. I think somebody filmed or tubed a version of like redneck carwash, or, hoarder bustin' in one of the imagined vehicles; somebody else linked portable nuclear plants (u can get parts all over the place per policy wafts) to their vehicle's storage space; that sort of "envisioning".
Lint licker style?
'Sides it's sweettea not moonshine over here. My rig is more like a junk gypsy tin can at this point. His name's Patrick. Those uns r in a business anniversary year I think, the authentic Junk Gypsies.
Okay, but I can't publish the print of the painting. In print media, like "coffee table" books and such, there's a strict old-school-new process for getting permissions.
Why I would post this page of Perry's Western Civilization: A Brief History....
The textbook like description has the kind of leading question that is at the heart of embroil in education. I mean questions in general can focus conversating. But, Perry's book asks: What does this painting reveal about his temperament and perception of the world? That seems to reduce the work of art to a work of subjectivity only. And, depending on political boundaries in the world, that might implicate or accuse an artist of being a belligerent, or relegate the artwork into some kind of pile.
The painting is "Burning of the Houses of Parliament", c. ("circa" or made around the year) 1835, by J.M.W. Turner (who lived during 1775-1851). Author of the caption says, "Turner was preoccupied with shimmering light. Though he often used literary themes for his paintings, in accord with Romantic taste, the people, buildings, and ships were often obscured" (Art History section, Perry).
It's sort of a bird's eye view, smoke and flames in the fore backlighting a cathedral wall and some towers. A river or some body of water and a fortress block of bridge play in light and dark in the middle of the painting, and ringing the southern edge closest to viewer to horizon are crowds of people.
