Daily fix for all the art history lovers on tumblr.
Histoire is simply the French word for history, but it also has the dual meaning of story. That's what art is. The history of our human story.

Celebrity Babysitters
Plenty of kids make paintings with their babysitters, but very few get to do it with a renowned pop artist. After Mick and Bianca Jagger divorced in the late ’70s, their daughter, Jade, was frequently babysat by Andy Warhol, who was a family friend. “I spent a lot of time during the day at Andy’s,” Jagger told the London Evening Standard. “I had my first glass of champagne with him. No wonder I peed on his photo base paper once! But he didn’t freak out; he liked the effect and later asked me to do it again.” Such an understanding babysitter.
I WISH I WAS BABYSAT BY ANDY WARHOL.
