Parents are supposed to love their children, right? It’s one of those values so hard-coded into our societies that we almost take it for granted. We know, though, how often parents don’t love their children, and we know how often parents put their own self-interest ahead of their kids’ futures. Succession’s argument extends this core sadness out to an entire species and an entire planet.

But we keep believing anyway. The children of abusers hope that, finally, their parents might see them and love them, and Succession puts us in the shoes of abuse survivors over and over again, as they hope that Logan will just turn some corner and do the right thing. But we know he won’t. He can’t. He’s too far gone. Sometimes, parents don’t love their children. This is one of those times.

So you find love elsewhere. And what changes in season three of Succession is that Kendall, Roman, and Shiv finally realize they have each other. Nothing has changed; everything has changed.

Art + Chilling on a Green Sofa

“He is lounging on the olive green velvet sofa with two patterned pillows. Very focused in. (No eliminations.) Very French. Also a bit, alas, Sargent.”

— Joe Brainard, letter to Fairfield Porter, 1973

What drew you to Shadow and Bone as a project?
When I get the breakdown through with the audition, I saw ‘fantasy series and epic adventure’. I kind of thought, ‘great. I know this world.’ And then I read the scripts and I read the books, and it totally subverts your idea of what a fantasy series can be - in terms of diversity, storylines. It has all the hallmarks of fantasy: incredible magic, grand scale, and palaces, and armies. But beyond that, there is an amazing human element and there are comments on immigration and discrimination, and it did so much more than I ever expected it to. Then just the character of Kaz was such a gift because he’s so cool and such a badass. I got pretty attached to him pretty quickly.

Kardinal und Nonne or Die Liebkosung by Egon Schiele, 1912

Schiele’s painting Cardinal and Nun of 1912 is a paraphrase of Gustav Klimt’s Kiss, which had been created five years prior. Everything about Klimt’s painting that was positive, however, is transformed here into its darker manifestation: the gold background is turned black, the gentle embrace has given way the violent clutching of the two delicate, praying hands, and the sensual expression on the face of Klimt’s woman has become a nun’s distraught glance.Schiele called the painting of this strange embrace Liebkosung, or “The Caress”.
The contrast between the Cardinal’s bare, muscular legs and the nun’s ecclesiastic garb, between her sober black and his luminous red, reveals the power of sexual desire—which seems quite alienating indeed in the painting’s Catholic context.Her posture and facial expression indicate fear—and it remains uncertain whether it is fear of being discovered, of the cardinal, or of sexuality in general /…/
