Happy Birthday I.N!!! 💛🦊💛

[cartasavincent]

me encantaria compartilhar o pôr do sol contigo, ouvir sobre os teus traumas, o que te inspira, o que te fez encontrar beleza ao ponto de salvar em pinceladas a grande maioria dos lugares que tu visitavas, foi por que eles te inspiravam? ou foi uma forma de guardar a lembrança do que te magoou? me encantaria te perguntar sobre o que você precisava e servir como teu ombro amigo mesmo sabendo que você provavelmente era tão complicado de se lidar quanto eu mesmo. ainda assim, me encataria passar uma tarde contigo, sentar na sacada de algum quarto que você alugou em Paris sem ter um tostão pra pagar, e talvez eu até aceitaria uma xícara de chá desviando dos litros de tinta e telas espalhados pelo quarto, mesmo sabendo que bebidas quentes me fazem doer a barriga e eu realmente nunca tive afeição por chá, é só que... a possibilidade da tua presença me encantaria.

Footprints #1197 - Tension

August 2nd, Sunny☀️

Good morning♪

This is Yugo Kochi, who has had an itchy nose since this morning.

Why is that?

Is it pollen allergy?

Or the dust from the vacuum cleaner?

I wonder why (T .T)

Next,

This came out of nowhere, but ....

Have you ever felt your mood just suddenly go up?

For Yugo Kochi

I've noticed a lot of times lately that I get excited...

Well, it's not as exciting as it used to be...

I think my excitement is gradually rising. But it is too slow*… ( ; ; )

Of course...

I'm having fun and my mood is rising, but...

That being the case, my mood also quickly calms down... (laughs)

Well, to put it simply

The afterglow is so short...

I'd like to stay in the afterglow for as long as you take a bath,

But I get calmer quickly...

I wonder why.

I'm a bit sad.... 😔😞(laughs)

Let me bask in the afterglow!

(laughs)

This was a blog about my heart murmuring. (laughs)

Finally,

Thank you for all your hard work and schoolwork today.

Unlike yesterday's weather, today is an intense summer day, right? (T .T)

I was airing out the room and it smells like summer outside.

It's nice.

Staying hydrated and wearing sunscreen is a must.

Don't forget to wash your hands, gargle and stay hydrated!

I'm grateful every day.

I just had a thought.

I want to surf at least once. (laughs)

See you tomorrow.

Keep smiling ☺️

(Kochi photographed a castle from a distance, with its moat in front, taken at night. The captions are 'a castle' and 'so small'.)

E/N

*The literal translation will be ‘a diagonal line rising upwards’.

I thought Kochi was trying to say that his mood used to shoot up quickly, going from 0 to maximum like a vertical line. Nowadays, however, the rising pattern is like a diagonal line that rises gradually but slowly.

In my opinion dear Yugo, what you're experiencing is called maturity 😉

W​​hat’s the secret to a great portrait? At 86 years old, David Hockney has a few ideas. A lifetime of looking has taught him to always start with the face. “I begin with the head first,” he says, matter-of-factly, from his home in France. “From there, I place everything else.”

That was his approach when, late last May, Harry Styles traveled to his light-filled studio in Normandy and stationed himself on a cane chair, ready to become the esteemed artist’s latest subject. Over two days, Hockney worked to capture the exact hues of red and yellow in Styles’s striped cardigan, the indigo of his jeans, the string of pearls at his neck—not to mention the unmistakable tousled fringe of one of the world’s biggest pop stars. For the artist, though, the goal was merely to capture the essence of the person in front of him. “I wasn’t really aware of his celebrity then,” Hockney says, with a shrug. “He was just another person who came to the studio.”

The pair struck up an instant rapport that was likely helped by Styles being a full-on fanboy. For his Vogue cover shoot in 2020, Styles wore a pair of hand-painted Bode cords that featured a talismanic illustration of Hockney by artist Aayushia Khowala. It’s also hard to imagine the wide-eyed wonder of a flamboyant Brit discovering the sunny thrills and spills of California—a theme, and sound, that has permeated the former One Direction singer’s solo albums—without Hockney as a precedent. “David Hockney has been reinventing the way we look at the world for decades,” says Styles. “It was a complete privilege to be painted by him.”

The unveiling of the portrait kicks off the second iteration of the National Portrait Gallery’s Hockney exhibition “Drawing From Life,” which first opened in February 2020, only to close weeks later due to the pandemic. With the addition of a new room of pictures charting Hockney’s creative impulses throughout lockdown, the show returns on November 2—a few months after a refurbishment of the entire museum—with Styles’s portrait as its crown jewel. “The whole world shut down, and the exhibition was still sitting there, in the dark,” recalls Sarah Howgate, the gallery’s senior curator of contemporary collections, who oversaw the exhibition in both phases. “So it’s nice to know it will have another life.”

The Styles painting may bring star wattage, but the unassuming genius of Hockney’s portraiture is still the main exhibition draw. What makes his images tick, you quickly learn, is their honesty: whether in the tension bubbling beneath the surface of his famed double portrait of Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, painted between 1970 and ’71, or the seated figures that populated his 2016 Royal Academy of Arts exhibition, which included the likes of his own sister, Margaret, and the late comedian Barry Humphries. Hockney’s eye for the human figure may be playful, often kaleidoscopic, sometimes fantastical—but it’s always, most importantly, frank.

Styles’s portrait will hang alongside those of writer Gregory Evans, Hockney’s printer Maurice Payne, the mayor of his local town Dozulé, his gardener, and even his chiropodist, or in Hockney’s words, “the dandy who cuts my toenails.”

One of his more recent subjects was the eminent music producer Clive Davis, who first suggested inviting Styles to swing by. “Clive told me about Harry’s new album, and JP [Hockney’s studio assistant] sent Harry a note and asked him if he’d like to come to my studio and sit for his portrait,” Hockney remembers. “He replied straight away and said, yes, he’d love to.” From there, Hockney’s process of painting Styles was instinctive. “Everybody just came to sit,” he says, breezily, before admitting: “Now I know Harry’s a celebrity, though: I’ve seen all his music videos.”

“He’s not a traditional portrait painter,” says Howgate. Hockney’s interest is not in what people do, but rather in who they are. “He’s not interested in fame. He’s interested in depicting people and their relationships.” It’s why his eye is primarily trained on his inner circle these days—but it also pays testament to his enduring curiosity that he’s still willing to open that up to a newcomer every so often. Styles seems to know how lucky he is, adding, with a tinge of disbelief: “I’m in awe of the man with enough one-liners for a lifetime.” As to what those one-liners might be? Styles and Hockney’s mutual silence on that question suggests that what happens in the studio, stays in the studio.

“David Hockney: Drawing From Life” will be at the National Portrait Gallery from November 2 to January 21, 2024.
