Meet Matriarchal Surrealist Palmer Earl

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:56:51 GMT

Palmer Earl’s lush and finely wrought paintings proceed with a matriarchal surrealism that hearkens to the past in order to reimagine the future. Each of her complex and symbol-rich tableaux references visual styles and languages of symbolism across art historical and folkloric traditions, especially the magic, mystery, and creeping misogyny of the late Medieval and Renaissance eras. Influenced by the opulent mannerisms of illuminated manuscripts, but increasingly frustrated at the suppression of women that followed Europe’s conversion to a male-dominated monotheistic religion, Earl looks further back for iconography with the power to inform a radical shift in perspective. Serpents (of course), symbols of fertility and motherhood, icons of incantation and power. What if, she posits in her bright, beguiling paintings, women had been viewed as equals in society this whole time? How very different might things be—and how much more interesting!Palmer Earl: Snake Mother, Acrylic and gold...

Record rainfall may set up banner year for California wine

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:56:51 GMT

NAPA . — As sunlight spilled into California’s famed Napa Valley on a summer day, rows of wine grapes reflected the benefits of this winter’s record rainfall.California has more than 960 square miles of vineyards dedicated to the wine industry, perhaps none as iconic as those growing in Napa Valley just north of San Francisco.This year, wine grapes are thriving after record winter rainfall in California, but cool days of spring that have carried into summer are threatening to keep the grapes from ripening. The longer the fruit has to stay on the vine the more exposed it is to possible wildfires in the fall and rain in early winter.The state’s normally bountiful wine grape harvest had been hindered in recent years by a combination of drought and wildfires.California growers reported $600 million worth of grapes lost to smoke damage after the 2020 fire season, the office of U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla said. California’s wine industry generates $170.5 billion annually, according to the Cali...

ANÁLISIS | ¿Cómo puede afectar la insurrección de Wagner a la contraofensiva ucraniana en macha?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:56:51 GMT

(CNN Español) — Fueron casi dos días de tensión extrema en el corazón de Rusia: una columna insurrecta del grupo Wagner, con su propio líder Yevgeny Prigozhin a la cabeza, lanzada en dirección a Moscú, alejándose del frente en Ucrania, con objetivos no del todo claros aún.En el camino tomaron ciudades, como Rostov, presuntamente derribaron un avión IL-22 de la Fuerza Aérea rusa (el Kremlin lo niega) y forzaron una respuesta del presidente Vladimir Putin, quien prometió castigar a quienes “eligieron el chantaje y los métodos terroristas”. Y luego, casi tan intempestivamente como se inició, la insurección terminó: Prigozhin frenó la columna, dio marcha atrás y recibió un ofrecimiento para exiliarse en Belarús, aliado de Rusia.ANÁLISIS | 36 horas extrañas y caóticas en Rusia parecen el principio del fin para PutinLas fuerzas del grupo Wagner combaten en Ucrania desde el inicio de la invasión rusa de 2022, y han cobrado mayor notoriedad por su participación en el frent...
