Week Word: Amuse
Woody Allen
This week’s word is AMUSE, chosen by June’s Blog, go and take a look at her sight and what other bloggers have to say about this word.
Amuse, this is a word obviously about being humored, having fun, perhaps chuckling to yourself. I think about amuse as almost a private word, hearing or seeing something that amuses you, but perhaps no one else. So here is my list of some art and people that amuse me. First of all, all of Woody Allen’s stand up comedy and films from his early period.
Saturday Night Live
SNL
Now there is the art that amuses me, here is a sampling. Modigliani’s women with long necks, now really, what was he thinking?
Modigliani
Some of Picasso’s portraits, hope his model had a sense of humor!
Picasso
And the surrealists, weird stuff, often amusing, to me anyway.
Surrealism
You have to wonder what some of these artists were thinking when they were painting in their studio that day!
What do you find amusing?

Love this! Where’s Heironymus Bosch? So many artists to explore, all so complex & talented… and then we get to be our own, too
P.S. I did a self portrait with a long neck once. Try it & be a Modigliani? Fun!
Love your self portrait, very original and amusing!
Great take on amuse Joye, such an impressive and amusing collection.
Fun choices and very amusing! :-D

I remember really enjoying one of Woody’s movies, I think it was Sleeper or something like that. Sometimes I think artists produce work just for the soul purpose of messing with people. For their own private amusement, if you will.
I don’t have a host yet for next week. I’m asking around and will post it as soon as I know.
The new WeekWord Host is Christine E-E of Silver Linings 4 Me. http://silverlinings4me.blogsp.....tion.htm l
