Winter in New York City, one hundred years ago.
Let’s hope that we’ve seen the last of the snow for this winter!

Luigi Russolo, Profumo (Perfume), 1910
This is a painting titled Profumo (Perfume) by the Italian Futurist artist Luigi Russolo. It is dated 1910 and it belongs to the collections of Il Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto, in Italy.
I like the way Russolo shows the sensory experience of smell, translating fragrance into colors and lines that engulf the female subject.

Schiaparelli Auction at Christie’s Paris
Last week, on January 23rd, Christie’s held an auction of Elsa Schiaparelli’s personal possessions at its Paris location. You can read a bit about the auction and see some images here, at the Christie’s website. If you’re anything of a Schiaparelli fan, you’ll enjoy the pictures and you’ll probably wish you could have seen the objects in person (and maybe purchased a little something!).
Let’s go fantasy-shopping! Here are just a few of my favorite listings in the auction catalogue…
