The essence of human experience lay not primarily in the peak experiences, the wedding days and triumphs which stood out in the memory like dates circled in red on old calendars, but, rather, in the unselfish-conscious flow of little things - the weekend afternoon with each member of the family engaged in his or her own pursuit, their crossings and connections casual, dialogues imminently forgettable, but the sum of such hours creating a synergy which was important and eternal.

An amazing book about an undiscovered manuscript written by Charles Baudelaire's own hand, Paris weeks before Germany's imminent invasion, and a woman who has lived seven lifetimes. Contains all the hallmarks of a dark academia novel from before dark academia really took off.

CROSSINGS: EXPRESSIONISM & COGNITIVISM IN ART
A Special installment on view at The Metropolitan Museum until Feb of 2023 is by Robert Colescott, One of his best-known works, George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware: Page From an American History Textbook (1975), portrays prominent black agricultural chemist George Washington Carver as the Revolutionary war hero, surrounded by Aunt Jemima-like cooks and banjo playing black figures, at once mocking the mythmaking of white American forefathers and hateful stereotypes of African Americans. The masterpiece, according to their site, explores ongoing resonances between past and present artistic expressions—specifically, modern and contemporary responses to Emanuel Leutze’s epic Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851). In exploring both works of art we can discover expressionism and cognitivism in art.

Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851)  By: Emanuel Leutze
Tumblr media
EXPRESSIONISM. Expressionism is a philosophy of art that conveys the inspiration of artists by their emotional experiences in their creativity to produce art that the audience can perceive as well. During the 20th century, expressionism took on a more cognitive turn. Sigmud Frued’s psychoanalytic theory became a big influence on the thoughts surrounding art.
Tumblr media
COGNITIVISM. The theory of Cognitivism, also called aesthetic cognitivism, presents art as a special way of knowing the world. Cognitivism is the theory that art can indeed teach us as an experience of enhanced expression and cognitive understanding from its aesthetic value. The use of imagination in creating and exploring art increases our brain development. 
Tumblr media
ART IS A METAPHOR. One main objective to discovering art is to find its meaning. In Crossings, the artist places the trailblazing scientist, inventor, and African American hero George Washington Carver at the helm of a boatload of Black stereotypes. In the picture of Crossings we find the abstract relation between the symbolic representations and we are able to compare it to the original piece which is a given objective reality. 
Tumblr media
ART IS AN EXPERIENCE. Art is collaboration between the artist and the viewer. This collaboration is an experience of expression and thought. Art is a mental experience of communicative and imaginative expressions. The experience we gain from exploring the artwork of Crossings is the discovery of a new point of view - evoking patriotic feelings in some viewers, conflict and struggle in others.
Tumblr media
ART IS VALUABLE. Expressionism and Cognitivism place the artist at the center of the world and give them power and value. Both artists created value in their work of displaying history with expression and thought. Exposure to the art gives us vivid imagery of communication. We gain more insight into the real history and we see it from a whole other point of view. Colescott’s groundbreaking work is powerful and valuable as it reflects the lasting impact artists have.
Tumblr media
EXPRESSIONISM & COGNITIVISM IN ART. When expressionism and cognition are combined in art, it becomes a very powerful tool. Expressionism and its cognitive influences to art have so much to offer us as we dive deep into the picture physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In exploring expressionism and cognitivism in art we seek understanding of vivid symbolic communication, we experience the art in our thoughts and emotions, and lastly we discover just how valuable the art is.

saw an absolutely hilarious animal crossing theory that i now 100% accept and it’s that in the animal crossing world, humans are going extinct, and so all the animals have locked you in an elaborate zoo enclosure and are trying to give you enrichment. and that’s why they give you infinite pointless tasks, hide money in trees and rocks, invented debt that doesnt matter etc. it’s why they always act so happy to see you even after you raze the entire island, relocate their houses twice, and always act so pleased about your choices no matter what. it’s all to keep their little endangered human healthy and enriched. and thinking of it this way has genuinely improved my experience of the game

The Polk County Sheriff's Office deliberately misled people into believing that Briana Boston had been released without charges. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
