THIS is the bear cave painting i was talking about, the line weight, the proportions, the fine details around the face, and the fact that this all had to be drawn from memory, idk man, it’s incredible to me. if i could meet one person from history it’d be the person that painted this bear 30,000 years ago

John Severson writing an article on the beach with his surfboard and his van in 1959. Author unknown.

“John Severson was a surfer and an artist; he wanted to share a true image of the sport that he loved and counteract what he saw as the negative image of surfers portrayed by Hollywood through the Gidget and Beach Blanket movies of the early 1960s, promoting a purer relationship with surfing. He did this through his paintings, his films, and most enduringly and with the greatest impact through SURFER Magazine.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CREqkAANhd7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Head of a King

This rare head of a king with beard and one eye-ball missing; ear chipped; tip of crown broken off and replaced. Recent bruises on the left cheek and the crown. The right eye-ball is carved of fine marl, originally held in place by a copper hand, of which two small fragments (completely oxidized) remain.

The headgear and mustache identify the figure as an Egyptian king; the tall crown with the rounded top, known as the Hedjet White Crown, signified rule over Upper Egypt. Broken at the neck, the head originally belonged to a full, probably standing, statue. 

In ancient Egypt, such statues were placed in tombs to serve as eternal images of the deceased. Sculptors sought to convey the pharaoh’s divine character, while also experimenting with realistic portrayals of the human face and body.

Made out of diorite. Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty to 6th Dynasty, ca. 2498-2181 BC. Now in the Freer and Sackler Galleries. F1938.11
