Remembering Henri Matisse on his birthday 🎂

"Slowly I discovered the secret of my art. It consists of a meditation on nature, on the expression of a dream which is always inspired by reality."

Henri Matisse by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nice, 1944
"When I went to see Matisse, I sat in a corner and didn't move; we didn't speak to each other. It was as if we didn't exist."

I do a *lot* of walking on the streets of Victoria BC #YYJ. Thought I'd start a pedestrian thread 🚶🚶‍♀️🧵
#ImWalkinHere

Except for our once or twice a year snowstorm, the worst weather problem for a Victoria pedestrian is the wind. I don't mind the rain if I can carry an umbrella.
#ImWalkinHere

@CityOfVictoria

Speaking of snow, it's the homeowners' responsibility to clear their sidewalks here. Maybe 2/3 do, but a neighborhood walk is still a dicey proposition. I'd be interested to know how many tickets are usually given, @CityOfVictoria - or is it more of a suggestion?

Happy birthday Sarah Miles 🎂
📷 Joanne O'Brien, August 1985
Miles received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for David Lean's Ryan's Daughter, 1970, but I think her best role was in Joseph Losey's The Servant, 1963

“Though he grew up very consciously as a neighbor and disciple to Richard Burton, Hopkins has a range that reaches from Charles Laughton to Laurence Olivier.”
- David Thomson

Remembering Jule Styne on his birthday 🎂

With his collaborator, Sammy Cahn.
"Frank's figured it out. He sings the words. The other fellers sing the notes. But we've already worked all that out: The words fit the notes. So sing the words."

Remembering W. Eugene Smith on his birthday 🎂
Self-portrait, 1954
"I feel Gene's photographs reflect a great turmoil. They are captured between the shirt and the skin; this camera, anchored in the heart, moves me by its integrity."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson

On W. Eugene Smith's birthday, my favourite portraits.
Heitor Villa-Lobos, New York, 1945
No one captured Villa's geniality, openness & enthusiasm better than Gene Smith.
