조선시대 Pentiment / Joseon-dynasty Pentiment Beatrice & Prester John (style experiment)

The art style is too modern for 16th century, but I took a lot of inspiration from "Lovers Under the Moon" by Shin Yun-bok (월하정인 月下情, 신윤복) for Beatrice and various kings' portraits from late Joseon for Prester John (his clothing is based on Silla clothing)

Beatrice's original design looks like she's wearing a barbette (?) and I debated on giving her a 처네 or 쓰개치마, but I decided on the latter and merged it with her original laurel wreath. I only finished these two, but maybe I'll clean up some of my other sketches.

chair la silla

Try to think of a silly chair.

Sounds like ‘see ya’: Imagine your chairs catching life and marching off saying “See ya!”.

If you know the word ‘la chica’: imagine a girl sitting on the chair.

The chair is outside the living room. La silla está fuera de la sala de estar.

The customary plot of a Sulla opera (whether Handel's 1713, Graun's 1753/1783, or Mozart's/Bach's 1770s) is centered around Sulla trying to fuck and/or marry an unwilling girl (in the latter two operas, daughter and bride of his civil war enemies). This plot is not based on any episode of Sulla's life: the Tarquin tendencies are ascribed to opera Sulla to make more apparent his usurpation of power in Rome - let him who is a tyrant act like one.

In my opinion, it is interesting to look at La morte di Cesare (1788) in comparison with the Sulla operas because I think it has a more subtle and subtextual*, but ultimately similar attitude of Caesar towards Brutus. He wants Brutus to love him; if rejected - resorts to threats, going into fits of rage reminiscent of Mozart's Silla. So I would say Caesar's side of the dynamics is pretty similar to Sulla in the aforementioned operas; Brutus' is completely different. The operatic Ottavia and Giunia abhor Sulla and perceive him as an enemy from the get-go; Brutus, on the other hand, is inclined to trust Caesar, admire him, and excuse him repeatedly.

It makes the contrast quite striking: Sulla repents and retires when no one thinks him capable of it; Caesar will not perform the redemption finale despite Brutus trying to make it happen for most of the opera.

*Subtextual: until Cassius starts yelling. Cassius does not tolerate subtext and has no problem dragging implications into plain sight.

La empresa finlandesa Hamari Auditorium produce sillones de diseño para cines y teatros. Philip Kronqvist diseñó un sillón para la empresa que rinde homenaje a Mondrian: cuando no se usa, parece un cuadro de artista y cuando una persona se sienta en é, los colores se convierten en reposabrazos, respaldo y asiento.
