“Adoration” is a world-renowned white marble masterpiece created in 1903 by the prominent Danish-Norwegian sculptor Stephan Sinding, permanently housed and on display at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The sculpture serves as a profound Symbolist allegory of intense human emotion, depicting a man kneeling in absolute devotion and vulnerability as he gently kisses the foot of a serene, elevated woman. This striking contrast in height and posture explores themes of deep intimacy, spiritual worship, and emotional tension, where the man’s complete surrender is met not with cold superiority, but with the woman’s calm, self-confident acceptance of his profound love.

Sunrise. Artist: Arthur Spear, 1921. A black-and-white print of the oil painting.⁣
⁣
This painting depicts how the morning begins: three nymphs are lifting the sun out of the sea.⁣
⁣
But what we see is a black-and-white print of a color painting. The original painting was sold at an exhibition in 1921, and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since. Years later, the artist destroyed many of his own paintings with his own hands; by that time, this particular painting had long since left his possession. Today, all we have is this black-and-white image and the vision it portrays.⁣
⁣
This vision is very ancient. ⁣
⁣
According to the ancient Egyptians, every evening when the sun set, it embarked on a nighttime journey through the underworld, only to rise again each morning. On the wall of a temple passageway in Abydos, Egypt, the final scene of a religious text describing this journey was carved approximately 3,200 years ago: two arms rise from the primordial waters from which the world was born and lift the boat carrying the sun into the air (See image 2). The inscription next to it reads: “These two arms go forth from the water; they raise this god”. Both images provide the same answer to the question of how the sun rises: every morning, someone lifts it out of the water.⁣
⁣
The American painter Arthur Spear (1879-1959), who created this painting, began by depicting what he saw with his own eyes. He painted passengers on Boston streetcars and men eating alone at a counter; the artists around him had also made it a principle to meticulously capture what they saw. In the late 1910s, Spear left this path and began painting things no eye could see: nymphs, fauns, and the ocean floor. He also depicted nymphs carrying the sun in another painting (See image 3).⁣

THE DAY WE LOST MILES DAVIS - Born Miles Dewey Davis III on May 26, 1926, in Alton, Illinois, and raised in East St. Louis, Miles Davis spent nearly five decades refusing to stand still. A trumpeter of extraordinary instinct, his sound could be sparse, bruised, romantic, menacing, whispered, with a use of space and silence that made a single note feel heavier than another man’s entire solo. Influenced early by the revolutionary language of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, as well as the elegance of players like Clark Terry, Davis emerged from bebop only to spend the rest of his life escaping whatever category the world tried to put him in. He helped shape the cool jazz movement with Birth of the Cool, pushed hard bop and modal jazz into new territory, and assembled one of the greatest groups ever recorded for Kind of Blue in 1959 alongside John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. His Second Great Quintet with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams stretched jazz toward abstraction before In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew tore down the walls between jazz, rock, funk and electronic music altogether. Miles had an almost supernatural eye for talent, surrounding himself with musicians who would become giants in their own right, including Coltrane, Hancock, Shorter, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, John McLaughlin and Joe Zawinul. His influence escaped jazz entirely, reaching rock, funk, hip hop, ambient and experimental music and artists ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana to Prince and generations of producers and improvisers who followed. His life was as complicated as his music was brilliant, marked by addiction, illness, volatile relationships, periods of isolation and remarkable reinvention. Yet through every era, Miles remained unmistakably Miles. Effortlessly cool. Miles Davis died on September 28, 1991, at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 65, after suffering respiratory failure, pneumonia and a stroke. He left behind something far greater than a catalog of records. He repeatedly changed the possibilities of modern music. by @art.fights.the.void
