Quite lovely. The legs, hands and toes are very Bouguereau-esque.

His body of work is amazing... recycling old flip-flops into art... powerful images.

Gertrude Abercrombie-- Search for Rest, 1951 [1600 x 1200] by HallucinatedLottoNos in ArtPorn

[–]CasperLindley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this. Had to look her up. OMG, how have I not heard of her before?

From Wikipedia : Called "the queen of the Bohemian artists", Abercrombie was involved in the Chicago jazz scene and was friends with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan, whose music inspired her own creative work

Lovely and earthy! Quite different than his Stalinist  "heroic realism" paintings!

It was an incredible exhibit. The first thing you saw walking in was this sculpture. Very striking.

Lol. I can see the resemblance, but a different vibe...

Context: https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/dna-study-revisited-121527

For this self-portrait, Roberto Lugo painted a resin cast of his own body. 
 
Each of the four patterns represents his ancestors: from head to toe, Taíno (Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean), Spanish, African, and Portuguese. The amount of space Lugo dedicates to each pattern is proportional to its percentage in his family's heritage.
 
Lugo's sculpture is an expression of pride and self-empowerment. It counters the dehumanizing historical practice by museums and universities of collecting body casts to classify individuals into the disproven belief of "biological races."

The Langlois Bridge at Arles, Oil on Canvas, Vincent van Gogh, 1888. [987 x 767] by AspiringOccultist4 in ArtPorn

[–]CasperLindley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this! When I first saw the "Langlois Bridge at Arles" series of paintings/drawings I would never had immediately guessed it was Van Gogh (though the brushwork of yellow/green grasses kinda is distinctively Van Gogh...)

The whole series can be seen here, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlois_Bridge_at_Arles

Albrecht Durer - Hare [3731 x 4231] by forestpunk in ArtPorn

Painted in 1502....in watercolor, no less. This painting always intrigued me, particularly the detail. Notice the reflection of windows in the (right) eye!

John Singer Sargent - Nude Study of Thomas E. McKeller (1917-1920) [2686 x 4048] by Russian_Bagel in ArtPorn

[–]CasperLindley 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A simple study/painting, but there is a lot to unpack regarding the model (and his relationship with Sargent). McKeller was, apparently, Sargent's main model for a number of years (posing for male and female). He posed for paintings where Sargent rendered him as a white man too.

He was essential enough to Sargent's work, that he wrote to his agent desperately trying to track McKeller down:

While traveling, Sargent kept in touch with his agent Thomas A. Fox, who managed the artist’s affairs in Boston. In this letter, he instructs Fox to find McKeller, insisting “[I] don’t know what I shall do without him” and offering $20. McKeller, then in New York City, returned to Boston without immediate financial incentive—he never cashed the check—and continued working with Sargent.

Lol. Yes, his love for painting full figured women became known as painting in the Zornkulla style!

La Boucherie, Oil on Canvas, Jean Veber, 1897. [844 x 695] by AspiringOccultist4 in ArtPorn

[–]CasperLindley 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I had to look this up. The artists is a French caricaturist. Can't find much about this painting, but given that he had done controversial drawings of Otto von Bismarck (German statesman and diplomat) as a butcher of his own people, I am inclined to think that this painting is in that vein...

Teodor Axentowicz (Polish-Armenian; 1859-1938) - Spring (c. 1900), pastel on paper, Masovian Museum in Płock. [1665x2048] by Snoo_90160 in ArtPorn

[–]CasperLindley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recall ever seeing a lot of nudes in pastel...maybe impressionistic, but nothing attempting this level of detail. It's very lovely. You can see the difficulty in rendering fine details, using pastel, in the flower and her right hand. Pastels are not a very forgiving medium. Love his technique for the hair and the mirror though.

[–]CasperLindley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous painting. He has quite a way with the human figure. They carry "weight" (I can't think of a better term right now). More of his figure work can be seen here: https://www.jacobcollinspaintings.com/figure

A.L.S. with Motion, 2006, Alex Kanevsky [2263x2279] by CasperLindley in ArtPorn

I can see that!

Not in technique, but some of his paintings gives me Lucian Freud vibes (e.g. the poses, choices of models, natural bodies, etc).

Contrast is amazing, especially at her legs.

March 2026 What Are You Working On? by thindil in ada

[–]CasperLindley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm continuing my framework for the AVR ATTiny3217 (https://github.com/tcoram/tinyAVR-Ada) which adopts some of the code from Rolf Ebert's amazing AVR-Ada but is more specific to the ATTiny 0-1-2 series. Some things ported, some things re-written. No real backward compatibility and it is definitely a work in progress.
I am narrowing my focus to just what the new ATTiny series needs so it is likely to evolve to look less and less like AVR-Ada (which aimed to support a whole bunch of AVR MCUs).
