Irma (short film)

Irma Gonzalez is an old ‘luchadora’ (female wrestler) who bears the marks of a life spent battling in the ring, performing daredevil moves. Every day she goes to the gym to rehearse the moves that made her a star. Children watch her curiously. Somewhere in the distance, a song plays: Irma was once a singer, too. In her memory, grainy images of old television clips flicker. Shot in Mexico City, the film is a tender portrait of the multi-talented luchadora and an unusual meditation on athleticism and aging.

Interview with director of Irma, Charles Fairbanks.

George Stubbs, Pangloss, c. 1762

From the Indianapolis Museum of Art:

In its faithfulness to nature and keen grasp of anatomical structure, Rufus is one of George Stubbs’s finest horse portraits. Largely self-taught, the artist’s ability to depict the natural world owed a great deal to his study of anatomy, which included detailed dissections of horses.

Although it was Stubbs’s practice to paint his horses first and then complete the surrounding landscape in his studio, the plain background in this painting was surely intentional. The neutral background focuses attention on the beautifully precise drawing and the fine texture of the horse’s coat.
