For #InternationalBatAppreciationDay:

#LuckyBats spotted at the The Frick Pittsburgh’s Chinese Porcelains exhibition! 🦇

Porcelain vase with enamel decoration, China, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period (1723-1735), c. 1730.

#LuckyBats: The center medallion of 2 joined #bats encircled by 7 more is a #rebus, or visual pun - the Chinese word for bat is “fu,” a homophone for the word for "good fortune,” and “nine” is also a homophone for “long-lasting.” It was likely a wedding wish for a happy marriage.

4 Drag Queens pose at the Granville Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA, c. 1955. photo by Charles "Teenie" Harris.

Click the above title to visit the archive of Charles "Teenie" Harris images at The Carnegie Museum of Art. What an astonishing record. Harris made in-frame compositions of really outstanding quality. Candid but loaded with information. His nickname was "One Shot".

Included in this grouping: Boxer Michael “Bronze Adonis” Phelan (Fields) farthest left, and possibly “Beulah” -Maurice Taylor (Wheeler) on right.

from Wikipedia:

"Charles "Teenie" Harris (July 2, 1908–June 12, 1998) was an American photographer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Harris was known for his photographs of residents and prominent visitors to Pittsburgh, including musicians and baseball players, which often appeared in the Pittsburgh Courier, an African-American weekly newspaper. His work is preserved in the permanent collection of the Carnegie Museum as a chronicle of mid-20th century life in Pittsburgh's African American communities."

Benjamin West | American, 1738-1820

Venus Lamenting the Death of Adonis, 1768, retouched 1819 oil on canvas

Ovid's poem Metamorphoses (8 CE), composed 2000 years ago, contains a variety of stories on the theme of magical transformations. One well-known episode recounts how a wild boar kills Adonis, a youth loved by Venus. Distraught, the goddess transforms drops of blood from his wound into scarlet anemone flowers. Benjamin West reimagines the scene as a family tragedy, with Venus's son Cupid tearfully feeling for the pulse in Adonis's neck.
