Anyway, here are some drawings of a viewing kiosk in an exhibition hall dedicated to the history of the oldest functioning carillon in the world, in Monnickendam, which notwithstanding a continuous lockdown, opens at the end of March.

Ancient design sketches for filming of Brecht's "M Ancient design sketches for filming of Brecht's "Mother Courage and her Children" produced and promoted by the great Jeanne Moreau. Can you imagine her as a fierce scavenger following the war machines of the 80 years war? Unfortunately death does have a way of getting in the way of things. Still, I always kind of loved these drawings, from the days before photoshop, when working with gouache, crayon and typex. I think I was 24 years old or so, just before moving to Rome. So full of potential!

Aren't you as cheered as I am at the sight of a "Vlaamse Peen" (Flemish carrot, and yes, with double entendre). Well now is the moment to rediscover the ornamental treasures of the Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijk, which, where you'd normally be watching your step to not drown in a torrent of shoppers and tourists, now is quiet as a churchyard due to Covid restrictions. There are so many wonderful 19th century renaissance revival details (and occasionally the real thing) on shop windows from a bygone era which you would normally be hard pressed to notice over the usual technicolor consumer throng.

Feeling so lucky that I can groove on this any day of the week if I like. Not a bad beginning. I'd like to stay this grateful all year long.

I was inspired by @markbroch to post on one of my I was inspired by @markbroch to post on one of my guilty pleasures: luxuriant Dutch gilded embossed leather wall hangings from the 17th century. These non-vegan beauties, hanging in a devoted space in the Lakenhal in Leiden, are doubly special as they're executed with a rather - though not pure - auricular motif, peculiar to that time and place. Not gothic, not baroque, certainly not Renaissance... auricular, a style brimming with hints of cartilage, mollusks, flesh, decay, and a general lobe-iness, was a bit of a flash in the pan around the middle of the 17th century, before everything went so puritanically classical. It had grown out of the mannerist cartouche tradition and found sway among brilliant silversmiths around the Republic. The gilded leather hangings were probably not terribly rare in their time, but no single example still hangs in its original location.
That time I designed and made armor. In Rome. For That time I designed and made armor. In Rome. For Terry Gilliam. What style it is, I really couldn't tell you. Creepy baroque?
