The Grand Vizier Crossing the Atmeydanı (Horse Square), Jean Baptiste Vanmour, 1720 - 1737
The Atmeydanı was Istanbul’s large, central square. Two obelisks recall the fact that the area had been a hippodrome in ancient times. The grand vizier, on horse-back at lower right centre, is accompanied by soldiers and preceded by two servants. They carry a prayer rug and a cushion in case he is called to prayer while en route.

Playing with one of my inks from Canada, while drawing a comforting floral pattern, for today's #inkyDays drawing. I keep coming back to comfort, and not much pushing my creativity to find new patterns. But I do push myself to keep creating art. Both for my own joy and in defiance of those who want to squash us all.

My hand is holding a small bottle of ink. Behind this, there is a drawing in-progress on a page of my open sketchbook.

Benedetta

During our last trip to Cilento, we stopped in Bosco, a town that hosted the surrealist artist José Garcia Ortega, who was exiled during the Franco dictatorship. In 1976, he created ten lithographs titled "Decalogue for Spanish Democracy", ten posters in which he depicted the fundamental values that should underpin democracy.

"The Decalogue of Democracy in Spain" by José Garcia Ortega (1976), prints. 1) Men and women walk naked, almost dancing, happy: "Yes to being and being free." 2) Two animals fight: "Neither 36 nor 39. No to civil war." 3) A rainbow: "Yes to everyone." 4) A man in uniform overpowers a civilian: "No to State violence." 5) A man and a woman embrace: "Yes to permanent amnesty." 6) A vase of flowers of different colors: "Yes to the unity of Spain + all its nationalities." 7) An animal recognizes its peers: "Yes to voting for your party." 8) People gathered around a table, with papers and pens in hand: "Yes to organizing democracy: through dialogue." 9) Skeletons wearing bands of authority. One, seated on a throne in the center, points to some people: "No to death". 10) The feet of two people lying one on top of the other emerge from under a colorful sheet: "Yes to life."
