Art Review, Week 2
REVIEW ETHOS My ethos when it comes to reviews and the mechanics of the way my opinions function in its truest alignment, is not much really needs to be said. Therefore it is allowed and should be brief, extending it would be just useless words. The art showcased is ONLY shown if something is felt, there will be no other pictures of art that did not register or provoke something in me. The curation IS the review. If I walk into the museum, gallery, or street and nothing responds-no matter how acclaimed-I will NOT showcase it.
Love.

It’s amazing not only the pattern guiding and directing the eyes but also the construction’s emphasis and the curve and form achieved to accentuate the breasts in a way that I have never seen in any modern clothing, its wildly fascinating to see something as familiar as a dress have a different alteration and form, that is enough to really make me twist my head and take a minuet to stop and see exactly what is different here.
Table Snuff Box

Such a breathtaking peice. Which also raised the question of what was the mining process of diamonds at that time, and additionally why and when were diamonds deemed such a valuable precious stone, even though they are not of much rarity in the known universe? ...And the answer to that is probably as simple as you can get; Humans love shiny things, lol.
