I’ve heard about cashew butter making a decent cheese substitute. If I ever get back in to pizza-making, I’m definitely giving it a try.

This sounds great, in any case!

Breaks in to two halves, you mean? (from what I’m seeing in the Imgur link)

Very cool, in any case, and also begs a question-- how “gauche” by LEGO standards would it be to (ala minifigure painting), add some painted weathering effects to the tannish building tiles?

Maybe in some technical or traditional sense, but let’s not forget that most species are named almost completely arbitrarily in the first place, sometimes simply echoing their finder’s own name.

Meanwhile, for all our ‘great gifts of sapience,’ in the end we are proving to be the most foolish and self-destructive of our ape cousins (and other kin) by a veritably planet-sized margin.

Dang, that was fast! oO

Wow, okay. I was just earlier trying to wrap my head around the differences between Impressionism and Symbolism, and now this… Futurism and Cubism being distinctly different movements.

Btw, I’d not seen before most of the works on the WP page. Incredible stuff…

I’m also self taught when it comes to art history.

Btw, that’s awesome. I’m a middle-aged bloke still struggling to learn more about it, so I’m frankly a bit jealous. :P

Especially since the two genres you mentioned are not opposing in any way

I’ll give you what GPT5.1 came up with a little while ago for me. NOTE: I try to use it very carefully (mostly for enhanced searches), so I have a fair amount of confidence that it’s ‘in the ballpark’ here:

was Gustav Klimt considered an Impressionist? if not, then why not?

Gustav Klimt is not considered an Impressionist. He is classified primarily as a Symbolist and as a leading figure of the Vienna Secession, an art movement that sought to break away from academic traditions and develop a more decorative, expressive, and psychologically charged visual language. Below is the precise rationale:

1. Different Core Objectives
   Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting sensory impressions—light, atmosphere, color, and the immediate visual experience. Klimt’s work, by contrast, was oriented toward symbolic meaning, eroticism, allegory, and psychological depth. His images are not records of optical perception.

2. Stylistic Divergence
   Impressionist painters used quick, broken brushwork and avoided strong outlines. Klimt developed a highly decorative, flat, patterned surface, often incorporating gold leaf, mosaic-like structures, and rigid contours. His work is fundamentally design-driven, not perception-driven.

3. Use of Ornament and Abstraction
   Impressionism avoids ornamentation; Klimt embraces it. His “Golden Phase” is defined by dense ornamentation, Byzantine influences, and abstraction integrated with figuration.

4. Movement Affiliation
   Klimt co-founded the Vienna Secession in 1897, which aligned more with Symbolism, Art Nouveau (Jugendstil), and early Modernism, not with the French Impressionist circle of the 1870s–1880s.

5. Subject Matter Differences
   Impressionists favored landscapes, everyday scenes, and outdoor light. Klimt focused on mythology, allegorical themes, erotic female figures, and psychological portraiture. His orientation was conceptual, not observational.

In short:
Klimt was not an Impressionist because his aims, techniques, and aesthetic philosophy diverged sharply from Impressionism. He belongs to Symbolism and the decorative modern movements of Central Europe rather than to the optical naturalism of the Impressionists.

So I’m with you in spirit (I love the idea of things melding in to each other), but in the art world, it looks like there are some fairly sharp, distinctive differences between the two genres, FWIW.

Could this be properly called “Cubist sculpture?”

Very cool.

Haha, that’s awesome.

Dang, as someone strongly informed by Buddhism, I’d not heard of these before. oO Now reading up…

…show us what ancient Indian cities actually looked like.

Perhaps a mere quibble, but it seems more correct to refer to them as “monasteries,” no?

Thanks for sharing these. :D

As usual, my first thought on these was “impressionism,” but evidently Klimt is considered a “symbolist,” rather. I was never formally taught art history, so it’s been an interesting (if slightly puzzling) challenge, understanding the key differences between the two genres…

I’m loving these, so far… XD

I came to this post from “All”

It is our honor to have you. Please enjoy the content here, and if you have any helpful critiques, then fire away!! :D

Thank you.
And pardon my asshole curiosity, but could this place perhaps be Dutch / Netherlands?

My god, that’s perfect! oO :D

So what happens if… too many people get to slacking / tired out on their bicycles? Does it cause power dips in the movie displaying properly…?

Evidently they used to, before being hunted to extinction. But just like extinct lions in Britain, they captured a cultural memory, and were embraced in art & heraldry long after they were gone.

Not to mention, Japanese traveling abroad would have come to understand that the species was still alive and well in various parts of Asia.

As a singer and voice-actor, I read that out loud in a sort of ‘Nottingham’ accent, amusing myself as you might imagine.
