Poverty never stopped children from playing. This shoe doll, made in around 1905 in London, was crafted from a worn-out man's shoe heel, fabric scraps, and an old black sock for hair. It is now preserved in the Museum of Childhood.

I LOVE this painting so much 😭 a final self portrait of the artist at the end of his life. When my body declines in old age I hope I still have the creative energy of this tiger
Tiger in a Snowstorm, Katsushika Hokusai.
Hokusai signed this tiger with a note recording the first lunar month of 1849- the Month of the Tiger-which dates the piece to that time. Three months later, he died.
When Hokusai was seventy-five, he said: "...Nothing I drew before I turned seventy was worth mentioning. At seventy-three, I partially grasped the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects, and fish. At eighty, I'll go further; at ninety, I'll penetrate deeper into the essence of things; at one hundred, my art will reach a divine level; and at one hundred and ten, every dot and line will seem to come alive..."
Hokusai's final words on his deathbed were recorded like this: "...If heaven had given me ten more years..." He paused for a moment, then added, "...If heaven had given me just five more years, I'd have succeeded in becoming a true painter..." This tiger is one of the last works he painted before saying those words.
"I look at these [Hollywood celebrities] who have absolutely every privilege imaginable to mankind, and they cannot utter a single word.’
