5th photo from last, GENTLEMAN AT THE WINDOW, so handsome an enigma, one must know who he is.
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful and graceful Vronska and Alperov on the deck of one of those palatial ocean liners, at one time so famous (the Ballet Russes), now all but forgotten.
The photo of James Dean pugnacious and innocent all at once, just another workday for him, in a life soon to be cut too short, so cruel. - Rj/IE
Back a second time, The bouquet of flowers by the brilliant Courbet so beautiful. The cat and fish by Boilly so cute. The Burmese lady-boy by Gsell and the opium smokers by De Jonge so much in the Oriental firmament.
ReplyDeleteThe male nudes by Svabinsky and Garcia, demure and sublime. Somov's dressing table, charming detail.
The self-portrait by Rita Angus, reminds one of Cate Blanchett in the film Carol.
Such details in all of them. - Rj/IE
Yes! And, yes, there's something quite remarkable about that Courbet. Gorgeous.
