The Aesthetics of Minutiae by Stone Saints
July 3rd, 2006 7:11 PMAll those paintings of women, in art galleries, surprised at private moments. Nymph Sleeping. Susanna and the Elders. Woman Bathing, one foot in a tin tub -- Renoir, or was it Degas? Both, both women plump. Diana and her maidens, a moment before they catch the hunter's prying eyes. Never any paintings called Man Washing Socks in Sink.
--Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
Create a visual depiction of a private moment that no one is likely to care about.
When I had cats I saw this every day, but very infrequently really watched it happen. The way a cat moves its tongue to drink is really pretty interesting, but it's the kind of thing we don't usually notice. So I give you: A Cat at Her Waterdish.
