a night of cut and paste

a visit to the museum this pm -- during the renaissance, artists sought new solutions to formal and visual problems, and many of them were also devoted to scientific experimentation. in this context, mathematical or linear perspective was developed, a system in which all objects in a painting or in low-relief sculpture are related both proportionally and rationally. as a result, the painted surface was regarded as a window on the natural world, and it became the task of painters to portray this world in their art. artists studied the effect of light out-of-doors and how the eye perceives all the diverse elements in nature. http://www.portlandartmuseum.org/...

met up at saucebox, here's what the barfly says about the place: one of the first LA style fancy-pants pan-asian chuckwagons to circle 'round in Portland; the progenitor of a train of self-consciously chic bars that seem to exist primarily to enable the mating rituals of the occasional visiting celeb, and more usually, the denizens of the local advertising community. but you can ignore the hoi-polloi by focusing on the comely staff of lust-inducing dollfaces and pretty boys, who serve with aplomb and shake up some addictive libations. supercalifragilistic foodstuffs.

no plans set for the weekend. kickin' it back...
