with rosy fingers, she opened the gates of heaven

Form.

It’s always there, waiting for you, not to be ignored, nor to be neglected. There are really no big secrets in cycling, it is just about putting in hard miles every day. Through seemingly endless cross winds, on days when you can barely squeeze the brakes your hands are so cold and times when your grip on reality slowly slides away, you just put in the miles. The thing is, somewhere along the way you find your form. It can sneak up on you, but you will find it, and on that day you get in your drops and for a moment, if I can channel Mr. Vonnegut: everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. 

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” - Charles Dickens

George Hendrik Breitner, Girl in a kimono (Geesje Kwak) in Breitner’s studio on Lauriersgracht, Amsterdam, not dated. George Hendrik Breitner, Girl in Red Kimono, Geesje Kwak, 1893–95.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Elizabeth Easton, the curator of “Snapshot: Painters and Photography: Bonnard to Vuillard.” The exhibition, organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Phillips Collection, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is on view at the Phillips through May 6. The Yale University Press-published catalogue is top-notch.

The exhibition spotlights six artists – Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, Henri Evenepoel, Henri Riviere and George Hendrik  Breitner – and examines how their use of the hand-held Kodak camera, which was introduced in 1888, informed their work. Even more interesting: The exhibition shows how their painting informed the pictures they took.
