That beautiful pale lavender velvet coat!

I never heard anything of it until well after I was in college - they all wanted to teach the 'cutting edge new hotness' not the 'boring old school stuff'. And yet, there was so much to learn from them! Any fool can throw something together and write a manifesto, it takes real skill to actually paint, or draw, or bring something to life in any medium.Elena Jardinizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335079548380273268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-47973659978599000462016-12-13T15:07:15.262-05:002016-12-13T15:07:15.262-05:00I loved the bored man expression ,it's hilario...I loved the bored man expression ,it's hilarious. :D <br />I don't know if it's just a random choice from the artist and if i'm reading too much into the details, but i noticed that the old man is the only character with a tricorn hat and the lace of the shirt going out the sleeves: perhaps it was the old fashion, while the younger characters were more up the date? The guy with the newspaper is almost identical (even the face) to the one chatting with the cropped man, perhaps that was the fashion of young people (at least in the painter's view). So, this leads to... An old conservative against a young progressist? :D Lucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075238108481083502noreply@blogger.com
