Does anyone want to travel around Europe with me, visiting cathedrals, bookshops, and graveyards? Slowly falling in love is optional, but preferable.

Julius Grimm (1842-1906)
In 1888, Julius Grimm used photography and telescope observation to create this intricately detailed and precise oil painting of the moon. In the night sky, the moon is always lit from behind you – so the shadows of the craters can never appear as they do in this painting. Grimm instead regarded the moon as if it were a still life, bathed in golden light emanating from the left side of the painting.
“The picture should only be hung or positioned, that the light falls onto the picture from the side where the arrow is positioned, because otherwise, in the case of incorrect lighting, the effect could be completely lost.”

“You have survived so much that no one remembers. And you still spread warm rain on all your overgrown lots. And you still get dressed in the morning. You still open wide for the sun.”
— When the Ghosts Come Ashore: Things I Should Say to Myself in the Mirror or Things I Would Say to the City of St. Louis if it Could Hear Me by Jacqui Germain
