all of mansour’s works are gorgeous and so beautifully representative of the palestinian condition (pre and post-intifada) but there’s something about 1985’s ”hope” that’s always stuck with me, much like 1993’s “the nazarene” (also attached). i cannot recommend looking further into mansour’s works enough. follow him on instagram @/sliman.mansour 🕊️

he was an indonesian painter who spent most of his life in france.
i fell in love with his paintings when i first saw them at toeti heraty museum in jakarta a few months ago.
the museum has over 50 paintings by salim, but since it's a small museum, they don't have much space to display the paintings in a proper way – they put them all up in one room, so the walls are covered with paintings from top to bottom, with no space for artwork labels. and some of the paintings are not on eye-level, so you can't really enjoy the details.
there's not much stuff about him online, though. and no pictures of his paintings. i took this pic, it's my fave piece (but forgot what it's called, sorry). iphone camera doesn't do it any justice, but it's beautifully somber. all of his paintings are gloomy, but i love his style.

i have a sneaking suspicion i’ve said this here before but this one has been my fave for years. enamored by the selective color usage and the mood. love the size of it irl.

joan joan joan…. what can i say about miss didion, my folk hero, the 1960s’ joan of arc? the it-girl for those more realistically inclined and the girl who knew all the secrets before any of us did. my spiritual guide, my best friend who i never met. she is elliott smith and i am phoebe bridgers writing punisher. i’m lucky i live in a time where i can read every single one of joan’s works.
