Wow, a genuine stunner of a painting. Berthe Morisot is beautiful and skillfully rendered by Manet.
Their history together is interesting and adds depth to this portrait of her.Very much so, V. Arnold. I used her own work here two weeks ago, and liked that a lot too. https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2018/11/you-are-well-inside-the-matrix/
There are not nearly enough accomplished and celebrated female painters.Which doesn’t only shine a pale light on western society through time, but also on the respect for art I was taking about yesterday.

Oh shit! Missed that completely; my very bad 🙁
In some areas, the learning curve is very steep, thank you for your ongoing teaching…
I’ll get there yet…
And yes; there are far too many female artists lacking recognition; the curse of our culture…Yesterday is gone.
What will tomorrow bring. decentralization of an empire?Review time.: Political systems (ism)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy
Democracy
The term appeared in the 5th century BC to denote the political systems then existing in Greek city-states, notably Athens, to mean “rule of the people”, in contrast to aristocracy (ἀριστοκρατία, aristokratía), meaning “rule of an elite”. While theoretically these definitions are in opposition, in practice the distinction has been blurred historically.[7] The political system of Classical Athens, for example, granted democratic citizenship to free men and excluded slaves and women from political participation. In virtually all democratic governments throughout ancient and modern history, democratic citizenship consisted of an elite class, until full enfranchisement was won for all adult citizens in most modern democracies through the suffrage movements of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Democracy contrasts with forms of government where power is either held by an individual, as in an absolute monarchy, or where power is held by a small number of individuals, as in an oligarchy. Nevertheless, these oppositions, inherited from Greek philosophy,[8] are now ambiguous because contemporary governments have mixed democratic, oligarchic and monarchic elements. Karl Popper defined democracy in contrast to dictatorship or tyranny, thus focusing on opportunities for the people to control their leaders and to oust them without the need for a revolution.[9]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-feudalism
Neo-feudalism or new feudalism refers to a theorized contemporary rebirth of policies of governance, economy, and public life reminiscent of those present in many feudal societies, such as unequal rights and legal protections for common people and for nobility.[1]The concept of “neofeudalism” may focus on economics. Among the issues claimed to be associated with the idea of neofeudalism in contemporary society are class stratification, globalization, mass immigration/illegal immigration, open borders policies, multinational corporations, and “neo-corporatism”.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism
Feudalism,
in its various forms, usually emerged as a result of the decentralization of an empireFeudalism effectively ended by about 1500.[32] This was partly since the military shifted from armies consisting of the nobility to professional fighters thus reducing the nobility’s claim on power, but also because the Black Death reduced the nobility’s hold over the lower classes. Vestiges of the Feudal system hung on in France until the French Revolution, and the system lingered on in parts of Central and Eastern Europe as late as the 1850s. Russia finally abolished serfdom in 1861.[33][34]
Even when the original feudal relationships had disappeared, there were many institutional remnants of feudalism left in place. Historian Georges Lefebvre explains how at an early stage of the French Revolution, on just one night of August 4, 1789, France abolished the long-lasting remnants of the feudal order. It announced, “The National Assembly abolishes the feudal system entirely.” Lefebvre explainsIn England, feudal ties were abolished as early as the Revolution of 1649, and then by an express decree by Charles II in 1660. In France they were abolished by the decisions of the National Assembly on 4 and 5 August 1789. In Germany, the dissolution of feudal associations (Lehnsverband) was a long process. Legally, it was abolished inter alia by the Confederation of the Rhine acts, in the Final Recess of the Reichsdeputation and the Frankfurt Constitution of 1849. One of the last fiefs was awarded in 1835, when the ailing Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Schlitz, known as Görtz, was enfeoffed with the spring at Salzschlirf and began to excavate it again. Those fiefs still in existence in the 20th century were abolished in 1947 by an Allied Control Council edict.
RE: the cartoon, and apropos to both Brexit and COP24 – Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop – A Day In The House. “Much is being said, My Lords, but nothing, Nothing, NOTHING IS BEING DONE!” The album was released in 1989…so…’same as it ever was’ (to also quote David Byrne).
