“Why does somebody create an image of anything?” —Hartley Neel “Art could be called ‘the search.’” —Alice Neel A witness sees other people from a safe distance. A participant shares their vulnerability. Alice Neel (1900–1984) painted portraits that often sat precariously between the two positions. Unlike many of her American peers, she didn’t visit Europe until she was in her sixties. It was instead in Havana where, living with a rich Cuban husband in the 1920s, she was first exposed to the contrasts of extreme wealth and extreme poverty—a shock to which she attributed her Communism. Thirteen years later, estranged from her husband and living in East Harlem as a single mother, she herself experienced brutal poverty, making paintings of all her parallel worlds, including artist friends, patrons, her Puerto Rican boyfriend’s family, and her Latino neighbors. That she sustained her art-making as a mother, amid obscurity and privation, already makes her remarkable. She thought she might have become a portraitist from studying her mother’s face, “which had dominion over me,” to detect any sign …

Oasis: Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais hits out at fan ‘ageism and misogyny’ ahead of band’s ticket pre-sale | Ents & Arts News

Anais Gallagher has hit out at “ageism and misogyny” among Oasis fans over who deserves tickets for the band’s reunion gigs. The 24-year-old social media influencer, who is Noel Gallagher’s eldest daughter, was responding to those saying die-hard fans should take precedence over young women who have discovered the Manchester band more recently. Image: Credit: Oasis X account Noel and Liam Gallagher confirmed the group’s reunion on Tuesday morning, following weeks of speculation. Now, 33 years after their first gig and 15 years after the group came to an acrimonious end ahead of a gig in Paris, they will return for a run of 17 shows in the UK and Ireland. Anais wrote in a TikTok post: “One thing I won’t stand for is the ageism and the misogyny around people getting tickets. “Sorry, if a 19-year-old girl in a pink cowboy hat wants to be there, I will have my friendship bracelets ready.” She was responding to a video posted on TikTok by Josie Cannell, who said she had seen people online complaining that …

ZEEKR 7X EV debuts ahead of deliveries next month [Video]

Published by skeptic

Chinese EV automaker ZEEKR is inching closer to the first deliveries of its new 7X EV. The classically styled five-seat SUV is peppered without advanced technology inside and out and will hit “global markets” as a new EV model that brings the luxury of premium models to consumers at an affordable price… we’re just not sure what that price is yet. In true ZEEKR ($ZK) fashion, it is moving quickly with the launch of its latest EV model, the 7X. It was merely July when we got our first glimpse at camouflaged images of the new SUV, initially codenamed the “CX1e.” Two days later, ZEEKR confirmed the new EV, called the 7X, will join its X SUV sibling as the second all-electric model to be sold globally. Two days after that, ZEEKR shared even more details and uncamouflaged images of the new “family-friendly” SUV, sharing that it will be the first to feature the automaker’s new LFP batteries that can recharge from 10-80% in 10.5 minutes. We also learned that the dual-motor version of the …

The biggest music event of 2024 is heading back to the UK later this month.

Ukraine’s Sydorchuk enjoying the sound of silence ahead of Belgium clash

Published by Sam

STUTTGART, Germany : With all four teams locked on three points going into the final round of Euro 2024 Group E games, Ukraine midfielder Serhiy Sydorchuk is doing his best to keep his opinions to himself ahead of his side’s clash with Belgium on Wednesday. With Slovakia and Romania meeting in the other game, Sydorchuk said his team know a win will see them through to the last 16 as one of the top two, but he did not want to tempt fate.  “When you say something very loudly, the echo will be very loud as well, so I think we should be silent and we should do what we can do, and we’ll see tomorrow at 8 PM what we could do,” he told reporters on Tuesday.  The Ukrainians, who bounced back from a 3-0 defeat by Romania to notch a 2-1 win over Slovakia, face a Belgium side who started the tournament losing to the Slovakia, but have quality experienced players in their squad.  Midfielder Sydorchuk, who plays in Belgium for Westerlo, said …
