L’artiste glisse en effet d’étranges messages au cœur de ses toiles. Des morceaux de textes indéchiffrables intégrés par le peintre lors des dernières retouches de ses œuvres, qu’il réalise sur de très longues périodes. Une phrase comme un point final de ces explorations chromatiques donnant vie à ces paysages kaléidoscopiques et fragmentés, empreints de références à la littérature et à la musique.
The artist indeed slips strange messages in the heart of his paintings. Pieces of indecipherable texts integrated by the painter at the time of the last retouchings of his works, which he carries out over very long periods. A sentence as a final point of these chromatic explorations giving life to these kaleidoscopic and fragmented landscapes, marked by references to literature and music. (translated with Deepl)

One of my most favorite paintings.
Garden at Vaucresson
Edouard Vuillard French
1920; reworked 1926, 1935, 1936

  • This painting was begun in 1920 at Vaucresson, a residential suburb west of Paris, where Vuillard’s friends Lucy and Josse (Jos) Hessel had recently purchased the house depicted in the background. Jos, a partner in the art firm of Bernheim-Jeune, had become Vuillard's dealer in 1912. His wife was one of Vuillard's great loves; their relationship spanned more than three decades, until the artist's death in 1940.
  • The woman in a house dress standing at right is Lucy's cousin Marcelle Aron. Hidden in plain sight, Lucy kneels across from her, at left, camouflaged by one of the large rosebushes that serve as a decorative screen in the foreground. (Only her hand is showing, reaching for a white rose.)

Countdown to Norooz/Nowrooz, the Persian new year and the start of spring!

Iranian mathematician, astrologist and poet, Omar #Khayyam, calculated the exact rotation of the earth around the sun in early 12rh century.

His calculations led to the creation of the Jalali calendar, name after the Jalaloddin the king of the time who was very interested in science, astronomy and poetry. His calculations found that a full year is 365.2424 days and not just 365 days as previously believed.
The calculation ledld to creation of #Persian (Jalali) calendar that consist of 6 months of 31 days, followed by 5 months of 30 days and the last month can be 29 or 30 days depending on the moment of sal-tahvil being on the morning or afternoon (most people use the #Jalali #calendar without knowing it when they read their #horoscopes every day).

His work fixed the almost 4000 year old solar calendar who lacked leap years and was causing problem for those following it (the parsi community in India still using the old calendar and celebrate #Norooz a day wrong every year leading to their Norooz celebration being held in summer of fall as years go by).

Khayyam's calculation was about 4 seconds off that was later corrected in 16th century to adjust the sal-tahvil or the break of the new year that is based on the exact time of city of Shiraz rotating an exact year around the sun.

As a tradition, Iranians all over the world, as well as Afghans, Turkmenistan, tajiks, Kurds and others who celebrate Norooz follow the same exact date and time no matter where in the world they love.
Here is the countdown to the Norooz of 2023

PS. There are many who doubt that Khayyam was the source of the calculation of Jalali calendar and there has been many heated debates about the subject.
