No hay cuerda en esta imagen. Esto está tallado en un solo bloque de mármol.
El artista dedicó 7 años de su vida a esculpir.
Se llama "El desengaño" (detalle), del escultor italiano Francesco Queirolo, en 1759.
Posiblemente la mayor prueba de paciencia en la historia del arte, y ni un solo paso equivocado hecho en el mármol.
Es el 4 de septiembre de 1947.
Nos encontramos en un pasillo oscuro repleto de llantos.
Una enfermedad sin supervivientes.
Con padres que miran a sus hijos, condenados.
Y en la urgencia aparece un niño. Robert Sandler.
Ignora que en ese pasillo están sus próximos pasos…

The Feynman point is the name given to the position in the decimal expansion of π where a sequence of six consecutive nines first appears. It is named after the physicist Richard Feynman, who allegedly joked that he would like to memorize the digits of pi up to that point and then say “and so on” as if π. were rational. The Feynman point occurs at the 762ⁿᵈ digit after the decimal point, which is much earlier than expected by chance.

Os cuento su historia en este hilo👇
Hay artistas tan extraordinarios que incluso cuando firman sus obras lo hacen de manera original. Y firmar obras no era corriente hace unos siglos. En escultura o en pintura hay ejemplos preciosos. (sigue)

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"
