WEIRD MEDIEVAL ILLUMINATIONS PORTABLE
A depiction of a portable altarpiece with a weeping Madonna, about 1480 - 1490, by Georges Trubert French. A scytier drinking the blood of a slain enemy, c. Image credits, from top to bottom (click through for their original contexts): IN THE END: Jay Z and Abramovic, lightly singed from the public attention, remain quiet. Herewith, our Marina Abramovic/Jay Z recap, as told using medieval illuminations: But as far as fantastical narratives go, nothing beats the Great Saga of Marina and Jay - the perfect narrative for putting all those vintage images of diplomatic tension and feverish battles to good use.
Sure, the lands of Essos and Westeros offer plenty of melodrama. They are the brain trust behind the museum's totally awesome "Game of Thrones" recaps, which employ medieval illuminations to summarize the HBO drama's twists and turns.

Sensational stuff - except for the fact that Hova had made a donation, and had a receipt number to prove it.
In an interview published early this week in the European art magazine Spike, Abramovic said that she felt "used" after appearing in his 2013 video "Picasso Baby" because he hadn't made a donation to her namesake institute as promised. This week, the art world has been riveted by performance artist Marina Abramovic's very high-profile trash-talking of rapper Jay Z.
