Dame mit Hut und Federboa

Gustav Klimt

oldhollywood: “To the question ‘Is cinema an art?’ my answer is, ‘What does it matter?’ You can make films or you can cultivate a garden. Both have as much claim to be called art as a poem by Verlaine or a painting by Delacroix. If your film or your garden is a good one it means that as a practitioner of cinema or gardening you are entitled to consider yourself an artist. The pastry-cook who makes a good cake is an artist. The ploughman with an old-fashioned plough creates a work of art when he ploughs a furrow. Art is not a calling in itself but the way in which one exercises a calling, and also the way in which one performs any human activity. I will give you my definition of art: art is ‘making’. The art of poetry is the art of making poetry. The art of love is the art of making love.My father [painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir] never talked to me about art. He could not bear the word. If his children chose to go in for painting, acting or music, they were free to do so, but they must never be pushed. The urge to paint a picture must be so powerful that it could not be resisted. My father said of Mozart, whom he worshipped, ‘He wrote music because he could not prevent himself,’ to which he added, ‘It was like wanting to pee.’ He considered that the mode of expression was unimportant. If Mozart had not made music he would have written poems or planted gardens.” -Jean Renoir, My Life And My Films (photo by Raymond Voinquel, 1931)

hottiesfromhistory: Hotty from History #18 - Jehanne d’Arc 1412-1431 She left home at sixteen. There’s something pretty brave about that…especially when it’s the fourteen hundreds and you are a hotty. And if that wasn’t hot enough, at 17, she then became the youngest person in history to command the armies of a nation. King Charles gave her this position after she proved herself worthy with various tests. So, she must have been pretty damn confident and strong willed. She lead the army to then break the English siege of Orleans in just three days. She was eventually captured at a battle in Compeigne after attempting to fight to the end. She attempted to escape by jumping from a tower…she survived the 60ft fall…but was left unconcious. That’s pretty kickass. She uh….put up with a lot from the nasty English, who did horrid things like threatening her with rape if she refused to wear men’s clothes. And then they burnt her to death. It was all because they were scared of her majestical brilliance. And probably they were annoyed that she was such a hotty and a heroine of the French. The English didn’t have any hotty heroines at the time.  As an athiest, I personally reckon she was a bit of a genius trickster, a la Jonathon Creek…or just made lots of very lucky predictions. Or was aided by Doctor Who? But yes, she may well have been aided by the will of God. Which makes her a bit of a hotty, to be singled out like that. She must have had a lot of qualities that God/Doctor Who thought might come in handy. She went to battle! And she had lovely long hair! (Probably. She probably had lovely long hair. In all the paintings she did) Anyway, if she did, this is very hot, because as we all know, women in the olden days going to battle and swishing about their lovely long hair, were generally really hot. She became very ill after eating some fish in prison. This isn’t something that makes her hot…but it makes her human. And makes me want to give her a big cuddle, and tell her: “Don’t worry, Joan, one day, you will be immortalised in a film by Luc Besson, French auter, and played by the beautiful actress Milla Jovovich.” She was an Independent woman of the highest order. In fact, if she was around today, she would probably replace Sarkozy. And let’s face it, she was much, much hotter than he is. And probably quite a bit taller too. Gee

hottiesfromhistory: Hotty from History #22 Alice de Janzé, née Silverthorne (28 September 1899 – 30 September 1941) She was one of the most prominent American socialites of her time. Whilst most of the American Heiress set were busy dancing the charlston and sniffing smelling salts, our Alice was setting the bar for Merry Murderesses everywhere… She slept around, did Alice. This obviously isn’t the hallmark of a hotty, but when you are as dashing as she was, it’s plain to say that everyone who got to go to bed with her had a good time. It was probably only once they’d been shot that they started having post copulatory regrets. In the 20s, she found herself in the infamous Happy Valley set made up of white expats in Africa. Here she indulged in copious amounts of drugs, sex, and Jazz. We at hottiesfromhistory do not promote hedonism but we certainly think that it seems like a highly enviable hotty lifestyle when considered from chronilogically afar. She shot both her lover and herself in a Paris railway station, but both survived. She got away with a small fine and later wed her unfortunate lover…and soon after that divorced him. She was then accused of the murder of another ex lover, Lord Erroll. Luckily for her, she had a very believable alibi: that she had been enjoying an amourous evening with another Happy Valley resident. However, there is widespread evidence that she may well have done it, including a letter written in her own hand confessing to the murder. She was also heard to say, after kissing the dead Erroll’s lips in the mortuary, “Now you are mine forever”. Yes, incredibly creepy and a bit disgusting, but nontheless romantic. Followers should be reminded that people from history who were hot are automatically excused from being sociopathic homocidal maniacs. She commited suicide and her motivation for shooting herself this time is said to be because she was depressed about losing her youth and beauty. She did it two days after her 42nd birthday, having ticked just about all the hottiesfromhistory boxes through the space of her short life. She asked her friends to throw a cocktail party on her grave. That is surely just about the most wonderful thing this blogger has ever heard of. When I die, please come en masse to Britain and crack out the Bollinger and the Absinthe. Historical fancy dress an absolute necessity. -Georgia
