Geranium Peale with A Rubens

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I made this

A Geranium with Rubens Peale
A Geranium with Rubens Peale, 2010

(after "Rubens Peale with a Geranium" by Rembrandt Peale, 1801)

And then the next morning I found this while looking for an envelope

In Pursuit Of Fame, Nat'l Portrait Gallery, 1992

The tone of the text (and the exhibition title, really) is that Rembrandt Peale was a jerk who only cared about being famous, failed time and time again and blamed the audiences for being provincial. So judgmental, Smithsonian brochure writer!

He was just mad because his brother was sooooooo cute. With his pretty flowers and his two pair of glasses. XOXO!
