Vincent van Gogh - In the Dunes [1883] by Gandalf
Via Flickr:
Painted less than six years before Van Gogh developed that powerfully expressive Post-Impressionist style we recognise as quintessentially his own, In the Dunes may display little outward sign of this signature aspect. It nonetheless reveals most presciently nearly everything we have come to know about this man’s famously turbulent and impassioned nature.“I came home from the dunes behind Loosduinen, soaking wet because I spent three hours in the rain at a spot where everything was Ruisdael, Daubigny or Jules Dupré. I came back with a study of crooked windswept trees, and a second of a farm after the rain.”

Belita in Gene Kelly’s dance extravaganza Invitation to the Dance, 1956.
Belita Jepson Turner was an English ice skater with ballet training. She represented the UK at the 1936 Winter Olympics. Years later she was on an exhibition tour of the US when WWII broke out. She stayed, continuing to skate until a talent scout convinced to sign a movie contract. She starred in several film noir B-pictures that have gained recognition with the film noir revival. But she was not much interested in being a movie star. Invitation to the Dance was her last American film. After that she returned to skating in touring ice shows.
