John Henry Lorimer Interiors and Windows

 Anna in Y12 found John Henry Lorimer an Artist and Painter I did not know. John Henry painted interiors that often showed family members of people using the room. He painted Portraits but I think his interiors including a window where he is capturing light and the difference between interior and exterior light are particularly fine

Tribal Facial Tattoos from Papua New Guinea 





Hula facial tattooing, ca. 1915. The stepped tattoos (lakatoi) on the woman’s cheeks and nose note that her father participated in several successful trading voyages. However, some scholars believe that this design evolved from the concept of an elbowed bird’s wing, possibly a predatorial bird. The motif on the throat denotes that the woman is married Traditionally, tattoo artists were almost always female and different women were employed for tattooing specific parts of the body.
