because things go bump in the night and on the web… be afraid of inanity and irony, be very afraid.

CHOCOLATE: You want me Lady don’t you? You want me! YOU WANT ME! LADY: No chocolate, I do not want you, for after pleasure there is SICKNESS and there is GUILT. CHOCOLATE: That, Lady is the REASON FOR MY EXISTENCE. Are you to deny me the REASON FOR MY EXISTENCE? LADY: No, chocolate. I would not do that. CHOCOLATE: Thank you. (A munching sound is heard, followed by a sigh of pleasure)

iHockney: Artist David uses his Apple phone to paint mini masterpieces | Mail Online.

I’ve always remembered David Hockey, one of the most influential pop artists of the UK for his painting, A Bigger Splash:

A Bigger Splash by David Hockney

As a kid i had this thing for going through art books and catalogues and i was always struck by not just the serenity of the setting, but the flatness of the entire affair, as typified by the wafer of a diving board. Personally, that’s how Hockney conveys the Florida heat and generally laziness about the atmosphere.

But the starkness of the splash just gives that added vitality. The lack of any ripples in the pool endows the splash with even more vivacity. It’s a detonation of life. The framing of the central plume of water by two rather different side plumes, complements the lack of the diver in making this awkward punctuation and proclamation of life and energy all the more telling. It thrusts a spontaneity in your face. A spontaneity of refreshing water. Bloody refreshing and hence joyous.

(Sometimes it’ll be lumped with art deco and depression era pieces, which made enhanced both inter-painting contrast and intra-painting contrast.)
