John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893)
The Lady of Shalott
Oil on canvas
Private collection___
The subject of the dead Lady in a boat or barge floating down the river inspired Edward Robert Hughes, William A. Breakspeare, John La Farge, and John Atkinson Grimshaw. This theme interested artists because of the sensuality suggested by dead Lady’s recumbent body and the decadent attraction of the union of death and beauty, sensuality and spirituality.
John Atkinson Grimshaw painted the dead Lady of Shalott floating down the river in her funeral barge after having done a similar painting, Elaine, in 1877. Both paintings convey the atmospheric stillness of the dead lady as she floats through the night.

The older you get, the fewer things you really love. And by the time you get to my age, maybe it’s only one or two things. (…) With me, I think it’s one.

Sherlock Jr’s “movie within a movie”: The scenery changes around Buster Keaton very quickly. He suddenly finds himself in a doorway to a garden, on a crowded city street to on top of a rock, etc. Keaton later recalled that his cameraman, Byron Houck, had used surveying instruments to position him and the camera at the exact correct distances and positions to give the illusion of continuity as the scenes changed. Long before CGI, Keaton created a vivid world with its own laws.

Grace: Look, I’m sorry I’m not as strong as you all are. I wish that I were, but I’m not. Will, your lover of seven years left you and you have to live every day knowing that he’s out there loving someone else. I couldn’t do that. I would die. Karen, your husband is in prison, the rock of your life, and you don’t know when you’re going to see him again. If I were you, I’d be a total wreck. And Jack, you’re so resilient. You’re a 32-year-old actor/singer who gets involved in a million different relationships and never gets invested in any of them. I wish I could do that, but I can’t. I’m not like any of you. I just handle things differently. So please just let me go back to bed and deal with things the only way that I know how.
