"Don't read the news before breakfast", Gambogi said to herself, after having put the paper away.

@mina

My rule is "just the headlines". No supervolcano eruption, alien invasion, coup d'etat and martial law, etc.? OK, maybe safe to go out. I mean: unsafe as ever but not in new, exciting ways.

@angelastella

Excellent rule!

BTW: I just love the painting and was trying to find a pretext to post it.

@mina I feel this applies more than ever. Not because you don't care, but to protect your mental health. It can be so overwhelming sometimes.

@mina

I like it too. And what I've seen of the rest of Danielson's work. Unsurprisingly, I didn't know her until now.

@angelastella

Let's say: I'm not a great connoisseur of art, but I greatly appreciate, when I stumble upon something, I like.

@mina Moin! Schon die Werke, die in dem Wikipedia Eintrag zu Elin Danielson-Gambogi zu finden sind, machen neugierig auf eine Werkschau der Malerinnen dieser Epoche.

@Petsie

Ja! Ihre Bilder sind echt wunderschön.

Ich hätte mal Lust, welche in echt und nicht nur auf dem Bildschirm zu sehen.

@mina

Same. My taste in art tends to low-brow, though.

@mina Love the two cigarettes

I have already been thinking about the second one on the table: Is it just careless? Did she drop it before? Or is there a story behind it?

Was there another person and is not there, anymore?

Even though, we shall never know the answer: The cool thing about real art is that we can speculate. Elin definitely painted it on purpose.

@mina Ist es ein Selbstporträt?

@Zimtfisch

So weit ich weiß, ja.
