"There should be more sincerity and heart in human relations, more silence and simplicity in our interactions. Be rude when you’re angry, laugh when something is funny, and answer when you’re asked."

@lucekerien @Rui_Cavaleiro_ Seismologists today estimate the Lisbon earthquake had a magnitude of at least 8.4. It was 3rd known large scale earthquake to hit the city. Estimates place the death toll in Lisbon alone at between 30,000 and 50,000 people, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history.
“What do you think an artist is? ... he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.”
“Call the world…"the Vale of Soul Making". Then you will find out the use of the world...Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul? A place where the heart must feel and suffer in a thousand diverse ways...” Keats
@MiguelCalabria3 Many thanks, Miguel!
Because of her choice of rare subject matters that often even caused some offence, Danielson (1861-1919) is now seen as one of the central artists of the Golden Age of Finnish Art.
