The circle of life moves us all, including the Cartwheel Galaxy, which is the result of a larger spiral galaxy and a smaller galaxy colliding about 400 million years ago. #NASAWebb highlights the dust in red and star formation regions in blue. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI.

A large galaxy on the right, with two smaller companion galaxies on the left. The large galaxy is ring-shaped with an oval outer ring and a small, off-center oval inner ring. The rings and space between are lit with blue and crimson red plumes and dots. The blue areas are pockets of young stars and hydrocarbon dust. The red areas are energized silica dust. The red dust trails from the outer ring toward the inner ring and bright white core. The companion galaxies to the left, one above the other, are much smaller than the main galaxy, and about the same size as each other. The galaxy above has similar coloring and many of the same features as the large ring galaxy, but more of a disturbed s-shape, with no distinct rings. The galaxy below is white with a slight blueish to pinkish tinge. It has a diffuse spiral shape with a white core similar to that of the ring galaxy, but with a smoother texture. The background is full of more distant, orange-red colored galaxies.

'Frida Kahlo’s Vibrant Still Life - celebrating the love of life in the shadow of hardship'

@kimvertue.bsky.social discusses Frida's later paintings as colourful proclamations of hope, spirituality, & freedom

💐 medium.com/signifier/fr...

#art #ArtHistory #painting #Mexico #history

"The colour palette for Still Life with Parrot and Fruit by Frida Kahlo deploys vivid and rich colours, and there is a theory that the strong painkillers were affecting her perception of colours by then, but equally they may have simply been serving her compositional choices. The watermelon and orange, placed centrally, are sliced to reveal the tender flesh, perhaps a reference to the vulnerability of her own fragile body, and other fruits are placed around to show the abundant fertility of Mexican nature. The parrot, native to Mexico, is poised as if about to eat the watermelon, and looks towards us as though inviting us to share its feast." - more descriptive analysis in article via link in post
