One of my favorite chapters today. Tao Te Ching (Le Guin translation) 14 - Celebrating mystery Look at it: nothing to see. Call it colorless. Listen to it: nothing to hear. Call it soundless. Reach for it: nothing to hold. Call it intangible. Triply undifferentiated, it merges into oneness, not bright above, not dark below. Never, oh! never can it be named. It reverts, it returns to unbeing. Call it the form of the unformed, the image of no image. Call it unthinkable thought. Face it: no face. Follow it: no end. Holding fast to the old Way, we can live in the present. Mindful of the ancient beginnings, we hold the thread of the Tao.

Gn🌙 🎨 Girl in a Sailor's Blouse, 1918 by Modigliani 🇮🇹 Oil on canvas. 65.4 × 46.4 cm. Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA About the artwork: In "Girl in a Sailor's Blouse," Modigliani likely depicts a young woman dressed in a sailor's blouse, a popular and somewhat casual garment at the time that might have evoked a sense of youthful simplicity and freedom. The portrait would be a typical example of Modigliani's work, focusing on the figure with a minimalistic background that directs all attention to her.

🎨 A fuga para o Egito, 1955 by Candido Portinari 🇧🇷 Oil on canvas. 50 x 61 cm. Private collection About the artwork: This painting depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's flight into Egypt, a theme commonly explored in Christian art which symbolizes refuge and salvation. Portinari's version likely presents a unique perspective, perhaps reflecting his sensitivity to issues of hardship and displacement — themes that resonate deeply within his broader body of work which often addressed the struggles of the Brazilian people.
