Virginia Woolf | Resta viva / Stay alive

By Art periods and styles , , ,
Qualunque cosa succeda, resta viva.

Non morire prima di essere morta davvero.
Non perdere te stessa, non perdere la speranza, non perdere la direzione.

Resta viva, con tutta te stessa, con ogni cellula del tuo corpo, con ogni fibra della tua pelle.
Resta viva, impara, studia, pensa, costruisci, inventa, crea, parla, scrivi, sogna, progetta.

Erik Werenskiold | Mrs. Heimbeck Study for The Dinner Party, 1929

René Rousseau-Decelle | Le pesage de Longchamp, 1910

By Art periods and styles , , , ,
René Rousseau-Decelle studied with the master of French Academic painting, William Bouguereau, in the waning years of the older artist’s life.
It is clear that the young Rousseau-Decelle quickly moved away from the tightly-painted images of French peasant girls and threw himself headlong into the world of the haute bourgeoisie of fin-de-siècle Paris.
Like his master, Rousseau-Decelle found a very commercially successful niche and adhered to that formula throughout his career.
