art bits

Salome and the Apparition of the Baptist's Head by Gustave Moreau. Watercolor painting, 1876.

Read Salomé by Oscar Wilde. It was alright, mostly because I guess I missed nuances within it from a studied literature point of view - I was just reading it like a book. Very evocative imagery, could do with some imaginative studies of it

in art school, those students who excel in one area, who use it to get scholarships, gallery-representation, whatever, don’t allow themselves the grace of being bad at any other area.

you get boxed in. let yourself be bad.

but not in the way art college forces. be genuinely bad until you are good. if you are good, get great. find something you’re bad at and do that.
