1/ The Story of Civilization Volume I. Our Oriental Heritage (1935) twitter.com/DanielCJonas/s…

danny@danielcjonas

No better than time than the present to dive into Will and Ariel Durant's, The Story of Civilization. Narrating Western history over 11 volumes, 10,000 pages, 4 mil words, & 375 hours of Kindle reading hours, I couldn't be more delighted. Will file my favorite passages here 👇

Can't stop thinking about this passage from MFK Fisher on potatoes: “They were almost evanescent, like the upper or lower cheeks of baroque cherubs.”

The Victorian critic and artist John Ruskin believed all beauty comes from nature. Look closely at his painting of a Bleinheim Orange apple (1873), and you'll see how Ruskin's lighting and shadow animate and dramatise a simple object.

Eggs, fresh bread, a cool glass of wine, and a flower to rest your eyes on ~ I like the simplicity of 17th century German still-life specialist Georg Flegel’s ‘Snack with Fried Eggs’ (1630), State Gallery Aschaffenburg

'Still life of asparagus.' (1697) Adriaen Coorte's still lifes set against a plain dark background, are enormously appealing to the modern eye, his work fell into obscurity in the 18thC and 19thC; a reappraisal about his career was published in the 1950s.

'Seven Brussels Sprouts.' (1955) Delicately painted with meticulous detail, Eliot Hodgkin captures the crisp waxy green beauty of a vegetable that in the year this work was painted was very often boiled to oblivion.
