Harlequin

Artist: Paul Cezanne (French, 1839-1906)

Date: 1888-1890

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

Cézanne painted the austere and elegant Harlequin, one of four costume pieces including a Mardi Gras showing Harlequin and Pierrot and three variants focusing on Harlequin, between 1888 and 1890. The artist's son Paul posed for Harlequin. Sensitively portrayed in Mardi Gras, his face in Harlequin was replaced by an impassive mask, a further, more abstract stage in Cézanne's development of the theme. Harlequin's traditional diamond patterned costume, bicorn hat, and the wooden sword that denoted his buffoonery have appealed to artists from the eighteenth century to the twentieth, and the character appears in Watteau's Italian Comedians and Picasso's Family of Saltimbanques. The opulent red and blue color scheme and lush surface texture are appropriate to Harlequin's theatrical origin, yet Cézanne emphasized the remoteness of the solitary figure.

A key challenge of our era has been to resist the temptation to constantly rage against Trump’s latest antics – while making sure the silliness and buffoonery of Trumpism doesn’t obscure how extreme and dangerous the situation is. We must not allow ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of security by the clownishness, the ridiculousness of this man and many of his most vocal followers.

me: i'll just wait until thursday, one of my precious work from home days, to work on this article so i can really focus

my beloved colleagues: actually despite the fact that there are two (2) days of the week that we are all required to be in the office physically, which you'd think would be the ideal time to schedule meetings, we have decided to schedule every meeting on earth for thursday :3

Useful Idiots Strike Again

The pro-hamas hive mind buffoons declared a boycott on Starbucks. So the idiots stopped buying Starbucks to hurt Israel...

Guess what result their boycott did have... Starbucks partner in the Middle East has had losses and now have to fire 2,000 people.

Their boycott ended up hurting 2,000 people, none of whom are Israeli. They are likely arabs...

In case you don't know Starbucks do not operate in Israel, they tried to enter the Israeli market in 2001 but failed and closed in 2003.
