- Untitled May 17, 2024Thinking of that time that Degas painted the actress Ellen Andree sitting and looking pensive in a cafe, and Monet saw Degas' painting and decided to find the same actress and get her to pose in the same cafe so he could do his own version.
- Untitled May 17, 2024Copyright claims often go too far, crushing free speech and not allowing for the way artists are influenced by, repurpose, and even coincidentally echo, other art. Not this time, though! Jeff Dieschburg is a straight-up tracer who adds NOTHING original when he paints his copies of photos. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

i love you jon stewert. and i would like to point out that mccain/palin supporters scare the shit out of me.
and i just want to mention that if you compare mccain’s and obama’s myspace friends list, you will notice something very…interesting…about the majority of people on each list. not necessarily surprising, but interesting.
thanks, hadn’t seen this. as usual, stewart nails dangerous hypocrisy and then, well, torches it to ashes. The parallel of shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater comes to mind too. Some speech shouldn’t be “free,” and I think McCain and Palin have definitely crossed the line into incitement territory.
You know, I don’t think McCain is truly regretting having stirred up his bigoted supporters this much. By painting Obama as the Big Scary Black Arab Muslim Terrorist he strikes very deep chords with a lot of white voters, and by (publicly, at least) saying, “Hey now, you’re going to far, Obama’s not all bad,” then he can SEEM like he’s really a decent guy who doesn’t really believe all that his supporters are saying… despite the fact that his supporters are saying Obama’s a terrorist BECAUSE of McCain’s campaign. It’s all very calculated – both the racsim and the simultaneous denial of racism.
