Pipes in Art

The Sportsman’s Dream cracks me up...because he's sitting on his ass indoors :D

That Galway is amazing. Did Rahsaan Roland Kirk smoke a pipe?

 

[edgreen]

Apparently so.

I wonder if he could smoke while playing manzello and strich?

Hey hey, thanks sparks! Sure, it's been posted, but there's so many photos here, a refresher never hurts; especially for those who may not have the time/computer to upload every page in search of something in particular.
I love his reflection face. Perfect "cute old guy" moment Reminds me of a professor who once asked, "you all know how to use The Google, right?"

I got The Google when I put the internet on my computer.
As a tech, I once had a client ask me if her computer was 'flipping pages' because she had 'too much kinetic energy', because 'I can't put a piece of toast in the toaster without it catching fire'.

I finished exploring every US museum with an online presence so this week I've been exploring some amazing museums in the UK. I had never seen the work of Munnings before, for example. I spent two days exploring the Royal Collection. Some amazing works, even of the royal pets. Anyway, here's this evening's addition.
Hyacinth Florentin Lepesqueur – Man with a pipe – 1873

Peter Jameson – Mr. Gee making baskets – 1945

mr. munnings certainly had a gift.
can almost feel the sunlight in the whitsuntide painting.

 

[simnettpratt]

@prndl: I thought the exact same thing; one of my favorite paintings in this whole thread.

 

[edgreen]

The museum was actually Munning's old home and it was quite a tour itself. Mr. Munning had a great eye all around and it was great being able to experience it all online. Those pictures just go to show that latakia smells better than manure, at least to some people.

Museum catalogs, huh? I could not figure out where you were getting all this stuff. Good to know.

I got a couple of Prohibition Era photos. ed, you wouldn't believe how much work it was to find and save, er, wait...never mind.
An illegal still:

And HL Mencken celebrates the end of Prohibition on April 7, 1933 with an Arrow beer at the Rennart hotel in Baltimore:
