as not only the first single released by Waxahatchee since 2020’s incredible Saint Cloud; it also is the lead single from Crutchfield’s work on the soundtrack for the Apple TV+ show, El Deafo. El Deafo, based on Cece Bell’s book of the same name, follows Cece – the protagonist, not the author (though the story is loosely autobiographical) – as she navigates school and meeting new people through the help of her alter ego, El Deafo, after losing her hearing.

In his youth, La Touche frequented the same Paris cafés as the Impressionists and is reputed to have received advice from Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas. As a mature artist, he broke with his realist beginnings to paint in a harmonious decorative style that reflects the influence of the Rococo painters of the 18th century. For his wealthy clients, such scenes may have evoked nostalgia for the ancien régime of pre-Revolutionary France. La Touche joined Pierre Puvis de Chavannes in breaking with the official salons to become a member of the rival Société nationale des Beaux-Arts. In this scene, reminiscent of 17th-century fêtes-galantes, several women in colorful dress are relaxing in a park, either at Versailles or St.-Cloud. Two women resting in chairs in the foreground ignore a monkey who torments a white parrot perched in the bars of a gold cage. One woman holds a fan and one has hung her straw hat on the back of her chair. Another women stands off to the right, leaning against the arbor. There is a large, elaborate stone fountain in the background, with a nude sculpture at the top and putti figures encircling the base. It shoots several streams of water into the air. Thick vines and flowers grow over the arbor, and the grass is a lush green. The scene is bathed in a golden-orange light, which reflects on everything from the water in the fountain to the clothing of the women. La Touche's brilliant jewel tones and the relaxed poses of the women contribute to the airy and carefree atmosphere of this painting, recalling the Rococo scenes of the previous generation.

Fontaines, cascades et bassins nous jouent une symphonie aquatique, à découvrir gratuitement !
La Rose mal défendue, 1789. Michel Garnier (1753, Saint-Cloud - 1819, Paris), French painter. His father was employed by the duc d'Orléans, and Garnier went on to work for the duc and his son, the duc de Chartres (the infamous Philippe Égalité who voted for the death of Louis XVI); his earliest known work, dated 1781, is a portrait of the duc d'Orléans. He studied with the painter Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre and, from 1791 until 1814, he was an exhibitor at the Salon in Paris, mainly of genre subjects in the fashion established by such contemporary painters as Marguerite Gérard and Louis-Léopold Boilly. In spite of his connections to the Orléans family and other aristocratic clientele, he didn't seem to suffer during the Revolution, and continued to show at the Salon. Garnier also painted portraits and later, while living on the island of Mauritius between 1801 and 1810, he painted still lifes. In fragile health, he would return to France before his death at the age of sixty-six. Garnier was one of the most successful of the petits maîtres who flourished during the fading days of the Ancien Régime and who depicted the lifestyles and morals of the upper/middle classes. Worked in a small format, his paintings are full of exquisite, fashionable furnishings and costume, his often doll-like figures going about their days in very chic Parisian interiors; the pursuit of love and its complications are the dominant themes here. (Indeed, many of his paintings carry a frankly erotic charge.) The narratives of his tableaux are rooted in the Rococo, but the often self-consciously dramatic poses of the characters, their arrangement in a relatively shallow pictorial plane, and the precision of detail and the purposeful treatment of light are a product of the Neoclassical; in fact, his work is an unlikely blending of these two radically different artistic movements. Une élegante á sa toilette, circa 1788. (Usually captioned 1796, but I think that very unlikely.) Ils sont d'accord, 1786. Le Lettre, 1791. La Jeune musicienne, 1788. Le Départ du dragon, 1789. Scène de reproches, 1794. Le Contrat de mariage interrompu, circa 1789. Le Départ de monsieur de Saint-Marc à la bataille de Fontenoy, 1788. Jeune fille écoutant une conversation entre deux amants, 1789. La Douce résistance, 1793. Une Merveilleuse sous les arcades du Palais Royal, 1787. Elégante regardant un portrait miniature, before 1792.
