A Klee painting named "Angelus Novus" shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned.

Cathedral Peak and Lake -An Ansel Adams photograph
One of Adams’ most well known images of the high country in Yosemite, Adams probably made this photograph on a trip with Georgia O’Keeffe and other friends in 1938. Ansel routinely dated the negative much later, it was not until very recently that we have been able to positively date it as no later than 1938.

Thanks for this Caillebotte's painting, Leda, one of my favorites painters.

don't quite know where to ask this..
Does anyone know the name of the artist
the one who painted a sort of harlequin in perhaps red and white stripes? His costume also has ruffles.. He is outside with maybe a few people and it's sunny
The style of the painting is impressionism
It's very much like Renoir
If you click the link^, these ones with the men in the yellow straw hats, the scenery and style and men remind me very much of this harlequin painting
I'm not sure if the painting is really by Renoir but the style is very close to his, maybe exact
