Mona Lisa Descending A Staircase
Check out this amazing video from Joan Gratz. It’s incredible. It blends iconic pieces of art into each other and the result is sometimes charming, sometimes menacing but it’s compulsively watchable. I stumbled across it via Blaugustine last night and am off again for my fifth looksee. It’s mesemerizing.

Captivating!
Tell everyone to watch through the credits – that’s when …

Quite a few artistically justified boobies in it as well.

Brilliant – so many loved ones and great to see Gertrude in the midst- just like her atelier in Paris.

Cheers.

Excellent. I’ve linked Blaugustine.

It’s sorta dream-like, isn’t it? Other-worldly. I’m on my 11th viewing now and I’m still seeing heaps of new things each time.

Sorry darlin, but I’ve halted any attempt to deal with video for it takes all day.
I have come across ‘ado’ used rather than ‘fuss’ in a modern text, and I’m halfway between thinking wow and plank/tit/pillock.

Wow, that was educational. I kept thinking how great it would be for school. What did you find menacingest? A friend in college made the comment that Shiele’s people made her think of child abuse. I know what she means.

I’m sorry, but who has a brain big enough to be able to create that stuff? That’s just greedy.

Animators are the business.

It reminded me of that old Mondrian classic cartoon – which like the rest of life is now too on YouTube

That’s mental – watched the whole thing like it was a lava lamp… it’s amazing.
