Horde of poets screaming “Orpheus is a merde tete!”

Orpheus & Eurydice in the Thracian Suburbs

Dolce Vita Flying Jesus in Fellini Museum still flying

Orpheus 1950 Jean Cocteau w Jean Marias, Maria Casares & Marie Dea (who is so adorable as E we know O must turn to get a peak)

What's in a painting? What in an entire catalog of Eleanor Eleanor's extant work & notes? Happy, happy publication day to @kathryncowles.bsky.social and The Strange Wondrous Works of Eleanor Eleanor!!!!! 💃✨🥰✨💃 (Fence Modern Poets Series, 2025)

Fellini Museum in Castel Sismondo. Air lifted 8.5 JC statue & La Strada vehicle

At home with Federico Fellini & Giulietta Masina, 1956. The Oscar on the desk was for La Strada, the 1st of four he received for Best Foreign Language Film. Plus Masina's Best Actress Oscar, & Fellini's Honorary Award. They're gonna need a bigger desk. #filmsky

Remembering Federico Fellini on his birthday 🎂 On the set of Fellini Satyricon 📷 Mary Ellen Mark, 1969 "One of his greatest gifts is his ability to communicate a sense of wonder, which has the effect of making us all feel much younger than we have any right to." - Vincent Canby #filmsky

Orpheus & Eurydice in the Thracian Suburbs

La Notte (1961) by Michelangelo Antonioni

fuck yea, heartbreak musical! so full of whimsy and charm that maybe you don’t realise how devastating it is??? an ode to the optimism and fatalism of young love, and to the reality of life (The 4K restoration is beautiful)

Zoom into Ray Charulata shots for slick mise en scene. Flowers are painted on the window (!) & bird is caged outside. In later shot he “plants” the flowers to 3D & “removes bird from cage” ie Mukherjee bad ass stance & hair

Boat Jousting

Agnes Varda’s La Pointe Courte edited by Resnais Almost impossible a 26 y o directed this & no way it gets its proper due as foundational. Filmed in 1954! Exceptional

A 2x2 matrix might show he can be a dumb bastard but if the variables don’t relate at the extremes, he may indeed be too dumb to be a bastard

Remembering Gilles Deleuze on his birthday. 18 January 1925 – 4 November 1995

Very much looking forward to colour sprouting from the garden again, I’m bored of brown and grey. I’ll just keep stitching them from my mind until then! 😉 Here’s some snippets taken from my embroideries, some of them from quite long ago… 🪡🌺🌿🪻🌱🌷🌸 #stitchedart #embroidery #thesewingsongbird

By the time I figure out what painter to use the party is long over

Geese, Greg Lake & ELP Great Gates of Kiev really New Hope in the distance like a faded Kinoshita memory. Took many tries & odd passerby stares.

FWIW it didn’t work when they changed the pronunciation of Uranus. We still got kicked out of the Hayden Planetarium for laughing

Went back out for color. Strangest of places if you look it right.

Color photo. I pinky swear
