Two years of heartache and hell. We will never forget the men, women and children who were massacred in their homes & at a music festival. May the hostages come home and may those who justified and celebrated that day be forever ashamed #neverforget #october7 #bringthemhome #amyisraelchai #jewsky

Woman in Black Stockings, 1913
https://botfrens.com/collections/88/contents/25527

Egon Schiele's "Woman in Black Stockings" depicts a poised figure draped in a loose gown and dark stockings, evoking a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. Known for his distinctive style, Schiele employs expressive lines and earthy tones to capture the complex emotion and rawness typical of his work.

Solidarity and strength to my colleagues and all British Jews after yesterday’s horrific antisemitic terrorist attack on a Manchester synagogue. We will keep doing the work of educating about and fighting contemporary antisemitism. #contemporaryantisemtism #jewhatred #jewsky #lcsca

Auguste Rodin : Danaïd, 1889

Marble
Musée Rodin, Paris

Modeled for "The Gates of Hell" c.1885, this figure was eventually excluded from the final version of the portal.

More info in the alt text 👇

Also known as "The Spring", this sculpture was purchased by the Musée du Luxembourg, Paris - the museum reserved for works by living artists - after it was shown at the Salon in 1890.

Adapting a mythological theme – the daughters of Danaos, or Danaïds, were made to fill up a bottomless barrel with water in punishment for killing their husbands on their wedding night.

Rodin, above all constructed a feminine landscape by highlighting the curve of the back and neck.

Instead of representing the Danaïd in the act of filling the barrel, as in conventional iconography, Rodin depicts her despair as she realizes the pointlessness and absurdity of her task. Exhausted, she rests her head "like a huge sob" on her arm, while her outspread "liquid" hair, to quote Rilke, merges with the water from her overturned vase.

The highly polished finish on the marble, carved by Jean Escoula, is in keeping with Rodin's love of luminous modelling, without any shadowy hollows.

Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Happy 55th to Angela "Ani" Maria DiFranco ❤️

So I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile
If I'm gonna go down
I'm gonna do it with style
And you won't see me surrender
You won't hear me confess
'Cause you've left me with nothing
But I've worked with less

Self Portrait with Arm Twisting above Head, 1910
https://botfrens.com/collections/88/contents/24990

Egon Schiele's "Self Portrait with Arm Twisting above Head" exemplifies his bold and expressive style, characterized by exaggerated body proportions and raw emotion. The melancholic palette and contorted pose reflect Schiele's exploration of human psychology and vulnerability in early 20th-century Viennese Expressionism.
