#MonkeyDay musical entertainment:
Antoine Vollon (France, 1833-1900)
#Monkey in a Studio, 1869
Oil on panel, 18 1/8 × 14 5/8 in (46 × 37.1 cm)
On display at Philadelphia Museum of Art

photo of the painting in gold frame at museum “In this study of an artist's studio, Vollon creates an allegory of the liberal arts. The score and trumpet represent music, the books philosophy, the canvas on the easel painting, and the various works scattered throughout the studio sculpture. At the rear are casts from Michelangelo's Medici tombs in Florence, and of Minerva, the Roman goddess of the arts. In depicting a monkey as an artist, Vollon evokes a seventeenth-century Dutch tradition of satirizing the artist as imitator of nature, or ‘art as the ape of nature.’” https://www.philamuseum.org/collection/object/101795

photo of rhe gallery label “In this image of a monkey cavorting in a disorderly painting studio, Vollon pokes fun at landscape painters who worked indoors. Note that the scene on the easel depicts none of the objects in the room, not the least of which is the primate playing a trumpet. The artist painted scenes of monkeys as part of a long artistic tradition of using animals as mimics of human nature.”

#MonkeyDay 🐒:
Portrait of Cardinal Antonio Ciocchi del Monte (1461-1533) by Sebastiano del Piombo (1485/86-1547), c. 1512-5, in the National Gallery of Ireland collection (NGI.783). His pet #monkey is identifiable as a Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), native to NE Brazil. Neotropical primates were unknown to Europeans before 1492; this may be the earliest example of one in a European painting. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antonio_Maria_Ciocchi_del_Monte.jpg

Suzie Zuzek (American,1920-2011)
Trinket, 1971
watercolour, ink, graphite, white gouache on paper
38.1x55.9cm
“This watercolor is based off Zuzek's real life pet #monkey, Trinket, who lived in her backyard in downtown Key West. Trinket had run of the island & would come and go from Zuzek's house through his own personal door. Trinket turned up in many of Zuzek's patterns over the years, & here he appears making mischief & drinking martinis.”

Monkey Day

Jocko (Jacques Lerner) in embrace with his Olivette (Olive Borden). Amazingly, Lerner does not wear a mask; it's all the work of makeup craftsman Jack Pierce. DP: L. William O'Connell.

A monkey for (unofficial) Monkey Day.

Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar: Today is #MonkeyDay so here’s my Sun Wukong the Monkey King, hero of Chinese folklore (& throughout Asia) as well as the 16th century novel by Wu Cheng’en, ‘Journey to the West’.

Before embarking on his humorous epic adventure (and ultimately helping to recover Buddhist sutras) this irrepressible character was born from a stone, becomes a King of monkeys,🧵

My linocut print of Sun Wukong or Monkey.

In my print Monkey is helping himself to those Peaches of Immortality. The block is printed by hand in dark brown ink onto lovely 8”x 10” pearlescent paper in a golden cream colour, with collages washi (chine-collé) papers for his blue jacket, orange striped tiger skin pants, red striped phoenix feathers and peaches (pale orange fruit with green leaves).
