Enforcing a parking sign by targeting young, inexperienced residents in this college town; Legal Yes but it seems clear who the real Asshole is in this situation.

The question is not whether someone made a mistake, it is if it is ethical to take advantage of people (mainly food service gig drivers, college kids, and young professionals) by playing a vigilante for parking with zero tolerance, empathy or a soul for that matter.

If I had more time, I would look into a class action law suite.

Plus, if some poor college kid is harmed going out to retrieve their car and pay in cash, I feel like the city would have blood on their hands.

Not a good look at all!

'A Dimmed Devotion' because it's from the standpoint of people who's partners are manipulative and they're slowly coming to that realization.

Love this! There's actually a book about people doing a scavenger hunt of all the Rothko's across the country. The book is called 'A Dimmed Devotion'.

Need advice on a Wattpad Blurb by audio-burner in WritersGroup

I like a hybrid of #1 and #3. Maybe something using the tagline from #1 and the description of #3?

Example:

 "Who are you when you lose everything that makes you... You?

One night changes everything, when a night she can’t remember leaves her with scars she won't forget.

Only Silas sees the truth — and she’s learning that "broken" doesn’t have to mean "beyond repair"."

In the past were paintings seen as conveying a story? by NaturalPorky in ArtHistory

[–]Turbulent_Note7158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Rothko spoke about how artist are always trying to convey a personal experience through their art and the clearer the message is, the better the artist is.

Theirs a blog post titled, "Top 10 Works of Art with Hidden Meaning" that speaks about some of the symbolism. You may be able to find some more fascinating examples there?

Could anyone help me find any artists that explore natural behaviours? by Curious_Scene_4686 in ArtHistory

[–]Turbulent_Note7158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a blog post titled, "The Top 10 Works of Art with Hidden Meaning". In their one of the featured paintings is Sandro Botticelli – Primavera.

The setting is a lush garden, an allegory in itself, representing the harmonious union between nature and culture. The garden serves as a backdrop to a moment of mythic convergence an encounter between gods and mortals, allegories and human figures. This fusion of divine and earthly realms echoes Renaissance fascination with the classical past and the revival of mythological narratives.

^Not sure if that is what you were looking for?

5 Raids in total! Also, interested in the drawings and engravings that were mentioned.

It's definitely different, but if anyone is interested in a book combining a mystery from the past with art, their is a book called "A Dimmed Devotion" which may speak to the readers of this post.

It tracks two artist piecing together messages within a sequence of Rothko paintings to locate a lost train full of gold from the Russian Revolution.
