1998 – Artistic Frustration

Today, being the 3rd Tuesday of the month meant exploring art. This mont h’s topic was Domesticity. Now, I’ve known what the topic was since the last session, but I really couldn’t think how to tackle it in my usual way, which was to try and come up with an unusual angle on the subject.

Well, I did it. I got the presentation ready, not a lot of slides, about 12 in total, and the script. The presentation only lasts for about five minutes, so it’s not huge. Without going into too much detail on the presentation, I want to put it on my Substack so it’s available, but here is my problem;

The presentation involves four pictures by various artists;
– The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer

– The Floor Scrapers by Gustave Caillebotte

– Interior with a Reading Lady by Vilhelm Hammershoi

– Interior by Edouard Vuillard

All four of the above paintings are deemed to be in the public domain. In theory, they do not need attribution. But I find the Wikimedia website very confusing, which seems to indicate that, regardless of the public domain status, some form of attribution is recommended, but what? I really don’t know what to do about this.

I did try ChatGPT, which has not really helped.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.

I'm here to work on fiction. Occasionally I'll blog but that's certainly not my focus. You have a specific fiction genre or format you can't find enough of? Ask me. Maybe I got it. I migh share it with you. Otherwise, leave me alone; I'm toiling away at my workbench.
