On a SUMMER DAY…Ophelia Floats Downstream



Click on image to see it larger.

This image is much more recent than most that I post. It's from an album I bought at a flea market for a buck. This shot is the reason I bought it. Most of the shots are of teenagers going through their normal angst being goths, punks, and preppies. Overall pretty boring and I've avoided posting any of them because the teens are probably now in their 30s and don't need me exposing their youth. However, this photo is different. It's worth sharing, especially after Mike made mention of Ophelia in relationship to my last post.

  1. That's quite a match for the paintings I referenced on Betty Schnabel's photo! Is it a proper photo or a magazine art shot?

    Both photos could be from different versions of an Art House movie, one from the 1952 B&W film noir original, and the other from the 1980s technicolor remake.

    I've bookmarked your suggestion "Born Under Saturn" to read soon. It looks like it might explain the nature of present day artists too.

    1. Just a photo taken by some teens. There is one other, but it's not as successful.

      I agree, they would both make for interesting stepping off points for the Ophelia storyline.

      The book was one I read in art college that one of my art history professors recommended. For decades it was impossible to find until it was reissued.

  2. Intriguing pose and slashes of color.

    1. And intriguing that this young lady chose to do this. She obviously was aware of the paintings.
