/
The Bloomsbury Group, widely known for their boundary-pushing approach to art, literature, and culture, found inspiration in the intricate beauty and meticulous detail of Flemish floral painting.
One of the key artists influenced by Flemish floral painting was Vanessa Bell. As a founding member of the Bloomsbury Group and a prominent painter, she adapted the Flemish technique to create her own unique style.
Flemish floral painting provided a departure from the formal academic art conventions of the time, just as the Bloomsbury artists, sought to break free from traditional norms, inspired by the freedom and creativity exhibited in the Flemish works. They recognized that flowers possessed a profound energy and vitality that could be unleashed through artistic expression.

Model Georgia Fowler radiates French Riviera glamour, perched high over the Mediterranean in Cannes for Numéro Netherlands [IG]. Photographer Daniella Midenge [IG] adds Fowler to the lineup of well-known, glamorous women she shot in Cannes.
In my dreams, I think we should unleash Daniella on the US Supreme Court, because if anyone can whip into shape those Federalist Society guys living in the 1660s vision of the patriarchal world order — it’s Daniella Midenge.
She would have them hiding in the justices cloak room, begging her to stand down.
Think about it, dear Daniella — for our country and the future of the free world. ~ Anne

Uber Titan Earth Goddess Gisele Bundchen Covers Vogue Brazil August 2023 Issue
/
Vogue Brasil calls Gisele the only übermodel, activist for environmental causes.
In her interview with EIC Maria Laura Neves IG], Gisele expresses her own view of her success: “I believe that it has a lot to do with my personality and the choices I’ve made. I was faithful to my values and my essence, always giving my best. I took the profession seriously and I was always very professional.”
“I am naturally more reserved and ended up choosing projects that I deemed more meaningful for me to showcase myself. Perhaps this has contributed to the longevity in a career that is typically so fleeting.”
AOC adds that like so many young models today, Gisele suffered from extreme anxiety, although she didn’t talk about it endlessly. The mother of Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, has spoken for decades about the importance of mental health and her healthy-food, yoga-filled and martial arts, gratitude-to-the-universe lifestyle for decades now.
