I always open your newsletter with a smile, because I know that while reading it, I’ll be immersed in beauty and art — and for a little while, forget all the problems of the world.
a rejuvenating reminder, thank you james. bringing beauty into our day is a right, not a privilege. no matter our status by the world’s standards, there will never be a fee to witness a sauntering sunset, hear the laughter of leaves whirling in the wind, or hold the hands of the ones who humbly touch our heart
Your observations & interpretations are more important than many would take the time to consider. And given the aesthetics, it’s time well spent. A museum/gallery curator, amongst other things, there has never been any object in my residences, the provenance of which is not unique.
È molto bella la foggia dei gioielli antichi.Trovo che siano eleganti,nei particolari,come le incisioni ,semplici ma preziose, impresse sull ' oro,il cui fascino rimane immutato nel tempo,per gli occhi di chi sa apprezzarli.
This post just made my hands and fingers itchy. I normally bring rock carving materials everywhere I go, but chose not to for this trip to Chicago because I didn’t want to have to check my bags. There was a time I could carry my favorite carving chisel on the plane. But things changed and I never successfully argued “this tool is to create beauty not promote violence.”
Riflessione molto interessante! Lla bellezza fa parte dell'uomo, senza di essa la vita sarebbe sterile, senza significato. Gli esempi che sono stati riportati nell'articolo danno l'idea della bellezza, essa dona alle cose l'eternità.
I always look forward to you post! Beautiful cutlery
Thank you! Love him or hate him, Dalí was one of a kind.

Beauty is truth; Truth, beauty. That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know

Beautifully said. Your words reminded me of one of my favorite Shakespeare sonnets:
“For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.”
No doubt it was the quest for Beuty that created Civilization.
Scruton is right.
Thankls for reminding us!
The photos have presence with your awesome words. This is refreshing.
Beauty makes life better, easier, especially during tough times. Especially times like now
Love love love this Substack!
Thank you.🌹

You're welcome! I'm glad.

I’m stealing the inscription on The Posy Ring. It was a better time when men spoke to women this way.
Lovely as the subject matter. Thank you.
So much beauty
From the past🫶🏼✨
Awesome work you do James!
🙏

This is phenomenal! I own a Poesy ring from the same time period and the inscription inside reads "I am thy lotte, forget me not"
