FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ME

found these on my computer

culled from creatures of comfort blog, probably. let’s live our lives like these paintings.

“Sonia Delaunay was a Jewish-French artist who, with her husband Robert Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. Her work extends to painting, textile design and stage set design. She was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964, and in 1975 was named an officer of the French Legion of Honor.”

Natalie’s early career included some “really bad modeling in Japan” and working as a receptionist for John Hughes “during the Home Alone days, when I would frequently take naps at my desk after lunch,” she recalls. “I now have a soft spot for receptionists who stay awake.”
