Time travels

Camel: Stationary Traveler (1984) 

Greyhawk: Grocery Run (2024)

Meanwhile, at the movies. . .

Top: "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"; Bottom: Tim Burton's "Batman"

Left: "2001: A Space Odyssey"; Right: "2010: The Year We Make Contact"


Just three of hundreds of compelling comparisons I recently just came across on this irresistible Twitter feed, @CinemaGrids . Check it out. . .

See any resemblance?

The Angelus (iterated)

On the left: "The Angelus," by Jean-Francoise Millet (1857-59). On the right: "Archeological Reminiscence of Millet's Angelus," by Salvador Dali (1933-35).

Salvador Dali was so taken with Millet's painting "The Angelus" when he first saw it as a child that in addition to painting variations on it for years he wrote a book about it, The Tragic Myth of Millet's Angelus.


A couple of Dali's additional iterations: Top: "Atavism at Twilight" (1934); Bottom: "Archetonic Angelus" (1933)

The difference 9 1/2 years makes?

Of brothers and fathers. And Tim.

On the left: Tim (center) with his brother, Kent, and his father, Ed. Prescott, Arizona, circa 1983. On the right: Tim (center) with his brother-in-law, Grant, and his father-in-law, Grant. Port Townsend, Washington, September 2015.

This one just happened. . . Realizing that the photo I shot of Tim with my brother and dad this weekend looked familiar, I went digging and found its very similar older counterpart, taken in 30+ years ago.

Mere coincidence?

I’m embarrassed that I like this so much. More here. Thanks to Rhae Grace for the tip! 

 P.S. And one more, just for fun: a baby who looks like Wallace Shawn.

Dressing one's age?

A "cross-dressing" project by the artist qozop. (In a series called Spring-Autumn, the artist took portraits of young people with their parents or grandparents, then had the two swap outfits.

Oh. . .

On the left: Notre-Dame, une fin d'après-midi (A Glimpse of Notre Dame in the Late Afternoon) 1902 by Henri Matisse; on the right: View of Notre-Dame (1914) by Henri Matisse.

In case you were wondering how that the painting from that last post (on the right above) might be of Notre Dame. . .

Henri and Richard

On the left: View of Notre-Dame (1914) by Henri Matisse; on the right: Untitled (Ocean Park), 1971, by Richard Diebenkorn.

Just recently came across this Matisse painting that I'd never seen before and thought how much it felt like Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series. Obviously, I'm not the only one who's thought that. (Poking about online, I found this:

"In the catalogue for her 1998 Diebenkorn retrospective, Jane Livingston points to how important Matisse’s View of Notre Dame (1914) was to Diebenkorn. He first saw it at just about the time he started the Ocean Park series: The Matisse made its first American appearance in Los Angeles in early 1966. By the end of 1967, the Ocean Park series was underway.)"
