I made a game to teach myself art history.

And now I’m sharing it here, for free. It’s a trivia game that shows a painting, then asks you to guess when it was made and who painted it.

You can play with friends or by yourself.

I designed it to highlight the relationship between the spirit of an era and its paintings. Playing the game, for example, will give you a visceral sense for how different the energy was in Europe when Impressionism was popular in the 1880s vs. when Cubism was coming into fashion in the 1910s. The shift in style is a reflection of how the tectonic plates in society were shifting in the years before World War I.

Similar themes show up throughout human history. That’s why the answer page is filled with so many rabbit holes, such as Wikipedia pages about:

- The painting itself
- The year it was painted
- The artist
- The people who inspired the artist
- Popular works of art created at the time

And also a timeline of the artist’s life and a guide to looking at the painting.

Here’s the site: https://t.co/32yXT6v52f

I talked to famed translator Emily Wilson about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, in a wide-ranging conversation about shifting norms of translation, the strangeness of Homer's world, and the online discourse about the movie

Here's what she said about the film:

- "It is a big spectacle, and it is a fun time at the movies. My teenagers really loved it, and it was fun to go with my teenagers. It’s a fun summer action movie."

- "I don’t think it’s a complicated movie. And I don’t think it’s even about a complicated man. I think it’s a quite simple action hero movie about an action hero who feels bad about being an action hero."

- "When the casting was announced, it was The Talented Mr. Ripley that gave me hope in terms of where this might go with Matt Damon as Odysseus. Homer’s Odysseus is a complicated man, polytropos ... [But] Matt Damon in the film is traumatized Jason Bourne."

- "There’s no Cyclops trick. There’s no comedy. Matt Damon isn’t required to be be scheming. We don’t even see him building the Trojan Horse, which I thought was an interesting choice. We have this tech hero, but we don’t see him building his tech. We see him agonizing about the results of the tech."

My general rule for feeling mentally well is understanding that the more I judge others negatively, the more I anticipate negative judgement from others. Practicing kindness and leniency and forgiveness has no guarantee of reciprocation, but it puts you in a better state of mind.

I wrote a piece years ago on Bolaño—here’s a paragraph from it, emphasizing his depiction of failure and his interest in writing about writers, which I think makes him really appealing to writers today.
