Most recently, friends, we talked about the complexities of modelling.
The contemporary profession of modelling is much akin to the work of models in times past - protracted, motionless posing for the works of artists.
Countless models have been not only muses but also paramours of artists for years.
In one of his most famous paintings, The Last Day of Pompeii, Karl Bryullov depicted Countess Julia Samoilova ... in four different visions at once!
Seen here, the beloved of the artist posed as a protective mother embracing her daughters; as a young woman fleeing alongside an ancient artist (indeed, Bryullov portrayed himself in this image); as a lifeless noble woman having fallen from her chariot; and as a terrified girl dropping a vessel from her head.
Incidentally, the Countess never became the artist's wife, preferring an Italian singer to him

Sinister ghosts, NFT and $10,000,000
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," millionaire Martin Mobarak, CEO of Frida.NFT collection, apparently reflected last year.
The crypto and NFT market was not in great shape and after a failed launch of a 10,000 NFT collection - digital copies of Frida Kahlo's "Fantasmones Siniestros" (Sinister Ghosts) - Mobarak simply decided... to burn the original of the Mexican artist's painting that belonged to him.
200 spectators; 1 expert who confirmed the authenticity of the work; 1 martini glass with dry ice; 1 painting, painted in 1944, worth $10,000,000 - This is the recipe for this fiery performance.
"Sinister Ghosts" now exists only in digital form. The Frida.NFT collection is not sold out. The NFT market is still not in great shape.
Do you think, friends, desperate times call for desperate measures?

To be or not to be?
And that, for the NFT in the arts, is not an issue at all. True, the market as a whole is in stagnation. But the number of varioius exhibitions, expositions, and other displays of digital works is inspiring.
For us, one of the main indicators of NFT's 100% recognition in the high-art world, if not also that of high demand, is, for example, the entire CHRISTIE'S 3.0 section on the Christies auction house website.
Last week, Christies completed its third auction of digital works.
Friends, you are free to browse the virtual gallery and appreciate the artworks for yourself.
By the way, Christies sold 16 NFTs at the last auction for 135.53 ETH.
*The illustration is one of the works sold (purchased for 25 ETH)

Аrt & Fashion
It's no secret that fashion is frequently inspired by art. Art, in turn, can use fashion as a source of ideas to create new works. A prime example of this collaboration is the work of Jan Fabre, who creates unique costumes for theatre and ballet.
In fact, numerous famous fashion designers are artists. Another example is Jean Paul Gaultier, who designed costumes for Madonna and is also known for his artistic work.
Some designers focus on art and have included the works of artists such as Andy Warhol (his work can be seen in many collections; for example, Gianni Versace) and Pablo Picasso (in the Viktor & Rolf collection) in their collections.
Fashion and art are pretty similar concepts and are practically inseparable today. It's even been argued that fashion is also art.
Is this true? What do you think?

"My muse is the crowd".
So said Vyacheslav Zaitsev (02.03.1938 - 30.04.2023), Russian couturier, artist, and graphic artist. In the world of haute couture, he was known as the Red Dior.
I have truly warm childhood memories associated with him. I participated in his Golden Needle competitions for children's fashion theatres, and won with my team. The maestro spoke to us, the children, as if we were adult designers equal to him. I was captivated and insanely inspired!
It was this contest and the desire to win it that started my creative journey in fashion and art in general.
Valentin Yudashkin (14.10.1963 - 02.05.2023), is another world-renowned Russian couturier whose work I have been inspired by since childhood. A dress from his Fabergé collection is on display in the Louvre. Some of his work has become an exhibit at the State Historical Museum in Moscow and the The FIDM Museum, California.
Artists don't go away, they continue to live on in their works and our hearts.

Time for rainbows
At the end of spring, thunderstorms begin to rumble. This is one of our favourite natural phenomena. After a thunderstorm, there is almost always a rainbow. It's an incredible spectacle to take your eyes off of!
The shimmer of colour, the airiness of colour, its warmth and tangibility... It's mesmerizing.
Certainly not only us but many contemporary artists are inspired by the miracle of the rainbow.
What do you think of the rainbow you can walk on from Felipe Pantone? This staircase is located at the exit of a London underground station. The artist makes extensive use of juicy colours in his work.
Gabriel Dawe's rainbow installation creates an optical illusion; it looks like sunlight streaming through the glass roof of the museum.
To complete this work, the artist used 96 (!) kilometres of embroidery yarn.
Emmanuelle Moureaux uses colour as a three-dimensional element. Her work is all about emotion and depth. She even developed the concept of "shikiri" (separating and creating space through colour).
Markus Linnenbrink is best known for his striking installations. And this one invites the viewer to step inside a rainbow.
Does the rainbow inspire you, friends? What feelings does it evoke in you?

Edgar Degas, the French impressionist painter, painted more than 1,500 pictures of dancers during his lifetime! And they were mostly ballerinas.
