Tenant Farmer

The discussion examines Andrew Wyeth's artwork, focusing on "Tenant Farmer" and its misinterpretation through an Emersonian lens. Critics struggle to appreciate Wyeth's psychological depth, mistaking it for regionalism. Close visual analysis highlights ambiguity in themes of decay and haunting rather than simplistic readings of nature and transcendentalism.

One thing we know about cities and suburbs is they fight over everything. But what if all their leaders came together once a year to talk about regional problems and get to know one another? Would that help? The Detroit area has been doing this for decades with its Mackinac Policy Conference. Now Atlanta is giving it a try. https://saportareport.com/arc-convening-inaugural-regional-assembly-of-public-officials/sections/reports/maria_saporta/ #regionalism

"Stone City, Iowa," Grant Wood, 1930.

Wood (1891-1942) was THE great American Regionalist painter. He's best known for "American Gothic" but so much else he did is worth looking at.

This painting of an idyllic village is actually a depiction of a town in transition. Stone City had been founded as a company town for a limestone quarry, but the limestone business declined with the rise of Portland cement, so the town shrank and shifted into agriculture. This is a fairly idealized scene showing the town now in harmony with its environment, and a place where Wood established an art colony for a couple of years.

Looks like the perfect landscape for an autumn drive...

From the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, NE.

An American Regionalist painting. A landscape shows a small village sitting by a river, with a road winding through farm fields and crossing a bridge.

#Linguistics question! I have an older relative - who would have grown up in Nova Scotia in the late 1940s and through the 1950s. I don't know if it's a generational thing, or a #regionalism, or what, but he uses a term I've never heard anyone else use. Might be only one tiny area; little towns were pretty isolated back then.

#Screws - i.e. hardware you drive into #wood etc - he calls "#screwnails".

Anyone else ever hear them referred to this way?

Dear Friends of region... oops religion, 🦞
As some of you may know X-tianity, X-potus and X-men are not the only gods, #Allah type beings and Abrahamic #regionalism are not the only witch #craft. :ablobcatcoffee:

There are also #atheistic #religions such as #Jainism. Religiously fanatical followers of parody religions. I myself am a #Dudeist priest. I have my own heretical fifth or #Sith turning of the #Buddhist #Wheel. 🕊️

I have just been watching Olympic warfare (Judo). Those gals can fight.
Good thing they are #friendlies.

I also like friendly #fire, earthed #spirits, #water spouts and #air #heads. To mention the four #elements. (I am an #alchemist). Gold available on request (not to me of course).

Have a #wonder filled day. Be #Kind. The Goods. And do not take YES! for an #answer or #know come to that... :ablobcatmaracasevil:

As part of my work on international intellectual property, I have just published an article on The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership: intellectual property and trade in the Asia-Pacific in the Asia Pacific Law Review https://lnkd.in/e2ME9G9p The work draws on my experience of engaging with the policy process over #RCEP in the #JSCOT committee in the Australian Parliament. #RCEP #trade #IP #Asia #Pacific #regionalism Cf #TPP #TPPA #CPTPP #BRI #openaccess #auslaw #auspol

Out of non-rigorous scientific curiosity, (😀 it's not a random sampling after all!) what do you call the part you either park you car on or drive into garage beside your house called? Please Ottawa only for now.

There's an alternate history of modern art to consider, and it's on display at the Georgia Museum of Art. With 100 or so works of art, the exhibition surveys the riches of a stylistic evolution during the early 20th century often buried in art history books. image: UNC Press https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/arts/design/southern-modern-georgia-museum.html

Robert Gwathmey, in “Sunny South," 1944, vented his rage at the entrenched racism and classism of the region. “Southern/Modern” at the Georgia Museum of Art offers side by side views of blue-chip and little known painters like Gwathmey who worked in the American South. via UNC Press

@malmorrow ‘The European tendency to mistake #Europe for the world – what might be called “the #Eurocentric fallacy” – has obscured our understanding of the #EU and its role in the world. It has led to an idealisation of European integration as a kind of cosmopolitan project: what I call the myth of cosmopolitan Europe. A better way to understand the EU is an expression of #regionalism – which is analogous to nationalism, rather than the opposite of it, as many “pro-Europeans” imagine it to be.’

@blankfrank

I'm thinking it must be regional. I'm in the prairies and have never heard of it.

Saskatchewan has - or had - an unusual local expression which I don't think was ever used outside the province. What are commonly called "hoodies" in many places were, for reasons unknown to me, universally known as "bunnyhugs" here. I think it's less common now, but still known.

The digital copyright regime established in the last three decades contributes to #climateheating as it produces a centralized "Super-Highway" internet infrastructure and prevents #regionalism .... Most digital goods could be available from some nearby 10ks of devices, with some local high storage mixed in, if we had further developed p2p tech that already existed 15 years ago. Instead we got YouTube, Spotify and Netflix and the writers guild going on #strike ...

The Mpls-St Paul area has America’s strongest regional gov’t, one with control of public transit, sewer systems and regional parks and with a big say in land use. Regionalists have long celebrated the Met Council. Who isn’t celebrating it? State legislators who think there’s something wrong with how the council’s members are chosen. (Today, they’re appointed by the governor). One possibility: Elect Met Council members. https://www.minnpost.com/state-government/2023/06/make-met-council-an-elected-body-task-force-to-begin-work-on-changes-aimed-at-accountability/ #regionalism
