The Peace of Art

Sabrina Cabada is one of my favorite contemporary artists and this is the first painting I ever saw of hers. I’m still sad that I don’t own it. I love the light and dark stripes from the shadows of the blinds on her skin. They also remind me of some fantastically erotic pictures I’ve seen on Lit 😉

Don’t Get Caught (2017) by Sabrina Cabada​

I like Titian’s Sacrifice of Isaac depiction of Abraham’s model parenting better than any other I’ve seen. Abraham is just not messing around. He is buff and ready to strike. There is no hesitation. There is no guilt. His left hand is gripping Isaac’s head and holding it down so they can’t look each other in the eye (whereas most depictions have Isaac lying prone). Isaac looks stupefied. Abraham’s pose is rendered with so much inherent motion it almost appears as if the blow to Isaac is inevitable; the angel seems small and inconsequential compared to Abraham—not unlike Isaac. Even though it’s not too late for Isaac to be saved, the act might as well be done and over. Isaac will always know that his father was willing to kill him and—God or no god—that’s a huge bag of shit to carry with you in this life.

Light Tube Painting; Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia | Photography by Eric Paré

"As seen not long ago in the Salar de Uyuni. We shot many light-painting tube pictures with Kim over there. Then I simply gave her a break so she can warm up. She carefully guided me to align the flashlight, then she triggered ;)

The truth is that we were in such a rush because the only restaurant (our hotel) was about to close and we were half an hour away from it! Food priorities! :::)) "

I could sit and stare at a painting for hours - lose myself in it, trying to imagine the story behind it. I love the peace it brings, just sitting there absorbing it. I love to read about those who inspired it, the history behind it, and search for the little Easter eggs hidden within the painting. For example, in early Christian art, each saint had a symbol so that the viewer would know automatically who was being portrayed (ie St Peter typically held the keys to the Kingdom, see https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/smca/hd_smca.htm for more examples). Sometimes the painter included their self portrait or the face of a lover in the crowd.

Post your favorite art and please share if it has any special personal meaning to you or the fascinating history behind it. I'd love to see what artworks everyone loves!

I'll go first. I've always admired Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro (dramatic shading; use of light). His art reflects his life; he was constantly getting into brawls and his artwork was considered rebellious. His painting "The Beheading of St John the Baptist" is his only work that he signed and his signature is in the blood spilling out from the throat.

My favorite of his is "Saint Jerome Writing". The brightness of the red robe against the dark shadows is mesmerizing. It looks like you can reach out and feel the smoothness of the skull, the folds of the robe, and turn a page of the book. Such talent!

I agree it is a wonderful painting, the technique is spectacular. I wonder if the skull is there to remind people that one day, all of this beauty will end.

Stupid mortality! :)

Indeed, but it should serve as a reminder to live in a manner that fully makes us present in the moment. Knowing that something will end reminds me that I should take this moment and soak it all up as much as humanely possible because there will come a day when this will end.

Not necessarily death, which is the end of it all but the little daily deaths of simple things like, a good dinner with an great friend. If you knew that that dinner was the last one for a long time, wouldn’t that change your perspective of the moment?

🤔

This is why I'm an optimist: Despite everything that's happening in the outside world, people are still creating beautiful works of art, music, and architecture. Because of my job, I meet and interact with a wide variety of folks and most, if not all, are good ones. When I'm out and about, I witness acts of kindness every day. Even little things like holding a door, letting someone merge in traffic ahead of you, a smile and a few friendly words with a stranger ... all of that contributes positive energy to the universe. I don't wear rose-colored glasses, but great art reminds me of the best of humanity.

Those little things really make a difference, don’t they 💕
