Bringing art to life, pt I

Earlier this year, actress Julianne Moore was shot by Peter Lindbergh for a fashion spread for Harper’s Bazaar, in a shoot which took inspiration from art paintings.

Check out the results, side by side with the originals:

“Woman With a Fan”, 1919 by Amadeo Modigliani

“The Cripple”, 1997 by John Currin

“Man Crazy Nurse #3″, 2003 by Richard Prince

“Seated Woman With Bent Knee”, 1917 by Egon Schiele

“Madame X”, 1884 by John Singer Sargent

“Adele Bloch-Bauer I”, 1907 by Gustav Klimt

Portrait of a Lady

Portrait of a Lady

Looking back on my recent sleuth of Hitchcock related posts and the current status of Hollywood’s lack of imagination, it’s quite a surprise there haven’t been more remakes of his movies.
Come to think of it, the ones that were already remade, weren’t really that good, so maybe that’s for the better. Psycho probably leads that shortlist and not even Gus Van Sant and Julianne Moore saved that wreck.

And there’s something about Julianne, something that inspires photographers to replicate art (although movie wise I don’t recall any period pieces she’s been).
I’d already featured a Peter Lindbergh shoot with her replicating some assorted pieces from several painters, but in this 2002 shoot by Michael Thompson for Interview Magazine, Julianne impersonates a Vermeer heroine (and unlike this other Vermeer inspired shoot, this one is an exact replica of the Dutch’s paintings).

Not content with that, the duo regrouped in 2003 for Vanity Fair, by remaking 1814′s Ingres “La Grand Odalisque”:

My new way to keep the iPad in the case.

My iPad fell out onto the floor when holding the case vertically. This
helps prevent that from happening again.

Cool Hunting: The Raw IceCream Company

The Raw IceCream Company

Sweet frozen treats blend cashews and coconut for healthy ways to indulge


Equally appealing to vegans, health nuts, the environmentally conscious and everyone else with a sweet-tooth, the Brooklyn-based Raw Ice Cream Company whips up sweet treats perfect for coping with summer heat without quite as much guilt. The dessert, made of entirely raw, vegan, organic, pareve, cruelty-free and delicious ingredients, leaves little reason not to indulge.

Featuring Chocolate, Vanilla, Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Cookie, Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Fudge Swirl, Mint, and Mint Chip as mainstay flavors (with the occasional specials such as Vanilla Cinnamon or Chocolate Macadamia rumored of online), each of the delicious blends skips dairy, processed sugars, excess fats and strain on the environment of bigger commercial brands. The magic recipe uses a blend of raw cashews, coconut meat, vanilla bean, sea salt, and agave nectar for sweetener to make their thick frozen treat that's so tasty it could've fooled me when I sampled it at the Fancy Food show this past weekend.

Available in pints ($7), half-pints, and as raw ice cream sandwiches, the products sell at an array of locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island. (Check out the store locator on the company's website). Those begging for shipments outside of NYC may have to wait a bit longer though; the Raw IceCream Company, staying true to their ideals, won't ship until they can do so in fully compostable ecofoamcoolers, expected to become available in August.
