Could an embrace be represented in a more concise, abstract, yet tender way' Matisse made the acquaintance of the writer Henri de Motherlant in Nice. The idea of working together resulted in the artist's illustrations for Pasiphaé, Chant de Minos, published in 1944. Matisse, who was now forced to rest frequently following an operation, found himself drawing more than ever, and the book illustration project suited him. The new work engrossed him for over ten months, as he stuck to his self-imposed directions: “A simple white line on an absolutely black background. A simple line, without shading.” Matisse fussed greatly over his prints and rejected many tests and studies. What mattered was the fragility and complexity of the line, together with the constant awareness of the format and the need to integrate the text harmoniously. He asked himself, in fact, “How can I balance the black illustrating page against the comparatively white page of type' By composing with the arabesque of my drawings, but also by bringing the engraved page and the facing page together so that they form a unit.”
The Embrace, No. 4, 1943-1944

This poem was written by the Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish and translated by Kareem James Abu-Zeid. I was relieved to read this, it's a worthy replacement for the scant amount of pictures available of the inside of the church
Thinking of my visit to the Monastery of St. Naum on the Macedonian-Albanian border. I was told that St. Naum invented the Cyrillic alphabet. No pictures are allowed in the central church, but it has the most beautiful frescoes from floor to ceiling

New Epstein files. Here is an FBI report:
“Donald Trump had parties at Maralago called 'calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness.
