Sir Compton Mackenzie, 1883 - 1972. Author

Artist: Robert Heriot Westwater (Scottish, 1905-1962)

Date: 1962

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

Born in England, Edward Compton, proud of his Scottish ancestry, revived the old family name of Mackenzie. As a writer, his range extended from serious novels admired by Henry James to semi-satircal sketches. His most famous novel tells the humorous story of a cargo of shipwrecked Scotch. Published in 1948, 'Whisky Galore!' was made into a memorable film by Ealing Studios the following year. Robert Westwater's portrait shows the writer towards the end of his career, surrounded by a clutter of papers, pipes and books in his study at 31 Drummond Place, Edinburgh.

Robert Heriot Westwater trained at Edinburgh College of Art. After a period of travel and study in Europe, he returned to Edinburgh and taught at the College of Art for ten years. He later settled in London where he worked as a full-time artist. He occasionally wrote art criticism for the Scotsman. His portraits, amongst which there are several of prominent Scots, reveal his admiration for Degas and Cézanne. He was an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.

I painted a little wooden box :>

[weepingfoxfury]

Monday, Monday, Monday ...

Today's pictures are a box that, at one time, held fancy cigars (got it second hand for popping pens and pencils in) ... and Betty attempting the expression I had on my face last Friday. What could the two possibly have in common?

Well ... I'll tell you. So, make yourself comfortable and I'll begin.

There I was, having successfully extricated myself from my car, about to head into the supermarket, when I happened to look down. Ladies and gentlemen and "those who have yet to decide" (I love the film Kinky Boots) ... what do you suppose my gaze fell upon? Lean closer and I'll tell you.

A bit closer ...

Aaaaand a bit closer ...

Well ... what I saw was ... (drum roll) ... a stubbed out cigar! Not only that ... but only a third of it had been smoked!?!

You can settle back in your seat now and I'll continue. ;-)

Not much of a sight in one sense, but it got me thinking. After all ... tobacco ain't cheap on the Emerald Isle. Plus, it was a cigar and not a cigarette.

P'raps it's just me, but cigars were for special occasions when I was a wee one ... Christmas, birthdays etc.

So ... what happened to the smoker? Where did they go? Were they suddenly raptured? Did that day's shopping become an urge too strong to bear? Did their phone ring regarding Mafia business? Did they drop it and step on it, all while clutching their heart and an ambulance was called? Did their spouse appear with the shopping and the cigar had to be quickly extinguished due to a New Year's resolution? Had they just discovered a big win on a lottery ticket?

Who knows???

Still ... it got the imagination going and made me smile to myself as I pondered the unknown person whilst wandering and acquiring my weekly shop.

Always fun to look down ;-D ...

The Song of the Shirt

Artist: Anna Elizabeth Blunden (English, 1829–1915

Date: 1854

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United States

Description

Anna Blunden worked as a governess but quit to attend art school after reading the first volume of John Ruskin’s seminal Modern Painters (1843). She became a devotee of Ruskin, who was a trenchant critic of the new industrial capitalism and inspired Victorians as diverse as Cardinal Henry Edward Manning and Oscar Wilde. Blunden echoed Ruskin’s opinions about the dehumanizing effects of modern urbanism in this painting, which dramatizes the plight of workers who came to London seeking employment but found the pollution and poverty of the early Industrial Revolution. It was the first picture Blunden exhibited publicly at the Society of British Artists in 1854, where it was accompanied by a quotation from Thomas Hood’s poem “The Song of the Shirt” that gives voice to a “weary and worn” seamstress as she longs for her youth in the countryside: “For only one short hour / To feel as I used to feel, / Before I knew the woes of want, / And the walk that costs a meal!”

The Victors of the Bastille in Front of the Hôtel de Ville

On the evening of 14 July 1789 the crowd who had stormed the Bastille, wounded but triumphant, arrived in front of the Hôtel de Ville, bearing trophies seized from the fortress. The central figure in the painting, Jacob Job Élie, is brandishing in his right hand a sword and in his left hand the key to the fortress and a letter signed by de Launay, its governor, who had just been lynched.
