Tree Shadows on the Park Wall, Roundhay, Leeds (1872) by John Atkinson Grimshaw.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 “In many cases, the rules of physics that apply in a real scene appear to be optional in a painting; they can be obeyed or ignored at the discretion of the artist to enhance the painting\u2019s intended effect.” An extract from The Visual World of Shadows<\/em> by Roberto Casati and Patrick Cavanagh<\/a>, in which the authors examine some of the rule-breaking that takes place when artists are dealing with shadows in paintings. I mentioned this aspect of artistic licence in a recent interview<\/a>, making the point that meticulously accurate light and shade is a tell-tale sign of AI art.<\/p>\n \u2022 Orson Welles’ unfinished film of Don Quixote<\/em> is back in the news again<\/a>. Welles spent twenty years shooting scenes when he had the time and the money, and I seem to have spent an equivalent time reading about attempts to release the film. Any assembled footage will lack Welles’ bravura editing but I’d still like to see it.<\/p>\n \u2022 Read an extract from Still In A Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers And The Reinvention Of Rock, 1984\u2013994<\/em><\/a> by Simon Reynolds.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mixes of the week: King Tubby \u2013 The Heaviest Dubs<\/a> \u2013 A DJ Mix by Mista Savona, and Bleep Mix #319<\/a> by Yu Su.<\/p>\n \u2022 “What makes music psychedelic?” James McKeown<\/a> on the music of Terry Riley.<\/p>\n \u2022 At the BFI: Gayle Sequeira<\/a> selects 10 great films about dinner parties.<\/p>\n \u2022 Steven Heller’s font of the month is Loopy<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Strange World of…King Tubby<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Shadows<\/a><\/em> (1967) by The Leather Boy | The Never-Deserting Shadow<\/a><\/em> (1991) by Jarboe | Moon Shadows<\/a><\/em> (2001) by Laraaji<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tree Shadows on the Park Wall, Roundhay, Leeds (1872) by John Atkinson Grimshaw. \u2022 “In many cases, the rules of physics that apply in a real scene appear to be optional in a painting; they can be obeyed or ignored at the discretion of the artist to enhance the painting\u2019s intended effect.” An extract from … Continue reading “Weekend links 837”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"New blog post: Weekend links 837","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2,42,7,3,44,17,13,10],"tags":[14662,14663,12922,4146,873,7346,5662,762,14661,14660,1216,11451,13262],"class_list":["post-31382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-books","category-film","category-music","category-painting","category-psychedelia","category-science","category-typography","tag-don-quixote","tag-gayle-sequeira","tag-james-mckeown","tag-jarboe","tag-john-atkinson-grimshaw","tag-king-tubby","tag-laraaji","tag-orson-welles","tag-patrick-cavanagh","tag-roberto-casati","tag-simon-reynolds","tag-the-leather-boy","tag-yu-su"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pq7rV-8aa","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31382"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31384,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31382\/revisions\/31384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
