For #InternationalTigerDay 🐅 on #Caturday:

Morris Hirshfield (1872-1946)

Tiger, 1940

Oil on canvas

From the Morris Hirshfield Rediscovered exhibition at American Folk Art Museum in NYC.

>”Among 20th-century American paintings, I do not know .. a more unforgettable animal picture than Hirshfield's Tiger."

-ALFRED BARR

When the founding director of The Museum of Modern Art declared this painting "unforgettable," he was responding both to the charisma of Hirshfield's jungle cat and to such fantastical pictorial choices as a painted sky that appears to be an expanse of blue yarn. Such unexpected pictorial associations recall the artist's prior professional life in the garment industry. Hirshfield manipulated paint to echo the woven materials he formerly cut into patterns, sewed and tailored into coats and suits, and sold in a retail shop. Hirshfield's "textile imagination" is especially apparent in Beach Girl. On close examination, virtually every element in the painting (including water, sea, and sky) suggests the weave of a different fabric rather than a natural feature of a beach.<

Overheard at the park:

3-year-old on a scooter, talking to herself: “Use my indoor voice? I don’t think so!” (screaming): “CUPID SHUFFLLLLE!!!”

Where's it made? Who brought it here? How much were they paid? Who makes it? Is it made in separate parts and put together? How much were they all paid to do this? Where do they get the materials? Who paid for that? Who brings it there? How much were they paid? Who streamlined the base materials? How much were they paid? Who gathered the base materials? Where? How much were they paid? Is it good for them? Is it good for us? Is it good for the land? Is it necessary? Is it biodegradable? How much does it hurt? Do I need it? Do I even want it?

Rest in Peace

[eroscestlavie]

when you’re a gay lion and you accidentally tried to introduce your lesbian lioness friend to one of her own exes at a gay bar and she goes into the bathroom and bitches you out for not being able to tell her endlessly rotating cast of girlfriends apart which isn’t really fair because first of all they all keep dyeing their hair different colors and second of all she keeps getting back together with different ones at different times and meanwhile you’ve been “single” for like 8 months but are spending a lot of time with one specific guy who works at your old co-op and were going to excitedly tell her about it tonight but now you’ve ruined the whole subject of dating by trying to introduce her to her own ex at a gay bar (which is a watering hole. because you’re lions.)
