Der Liebeszauber - The Love Spell

Der Liebeszauber (The Love Spell) by Niederrheinischer Meister, 1470/1480

I was looking for an image of a witch and her dog. I found this charming, young witch casting a love spell (written on the scrolls surrounding her).  The man at the door indicates her spell has worked.  Her little dog is not psyched.

Via Dr. Roy Booth's academic website.  It has an interesting collection of witch woodcuts and paintings.

Happy Halloween.

Animal Self and Friend of Animal by Mike Kelley, 1987

Phaidon concludes "New York Loves Mike Kelley."

Read Jonathan Blaustein's review (very poignant and personal, really you should read it) of Kelley's retrospective in Amsterdam earlier this year.

The Last Days of Disco Is Lady and the Tramp

"Lady and the Tramp" Debate in "The Last Days of Disco" by Whit Stillman

I re-watched "The Last Days of Disco" (1998) by Whit Stillman this weekend.  I totally forgot that it's a reinterpretation of "Lady and the Tramp."

It's on Netflix.

View clip on Dog Art Today.  Brilliant and hilarious.

Heather LaHaise Home Tour on Apartment Therapy

Heather LaHaises's Dogs, Charlotte and Teeny, In Her Home Studio by Virginia Postic

One of my favorite artists, Heather LaHaise, was recently featured on Apartment Therapy.
Her South Carolina home filled with dogs, art, and dog art is inspired. I especially love the images of her studio.

Photographs by Virginia Postic.

P.S. Heather's Darby portrait is one of the treasures of my home.
