Art

I lack the necessary attributes to generate “controversy” for page hits as many of the liberal, progressive, conservative, whatever the terms are these days people.   I do not care enough for flagrant abuse of minutiae.   If I cared, I would make an effort. I harvest too many  ovaries and have more pressing concerns.  HA! A boy can only make so much bread.

How do I distract myself since everyone bores me?

I ponder how to channel my inner ‘Artful Dodger’ à la Yamamoto.

Since Puritanism displays vicious horns, the shoes are appropriate. If I ever attend a rally of any sort, I know what to wear.

I discovered Bacon Salt and must have it.  I don’t care if it is kosher and vegetarian.  Synthetic bacon flavor works for me.  I am partial to real bacon, but I will settle for a quick fix. I am a proud American.

The Austrian art collector Rudolf Leopold died.  He collected two of my favorite artists, Schiele and Kokoschka, amongst many.   Nazi theft is under scrutiny with his acquisitions, but it is still an amazing collection.

Here are two of my favorite pieces by Schiele and Kokoschka.

Oskar Kokoschka: Die Windsbraut ‘The Tempest’ (1914)

Egon Schiele: "Self-portrait pulling cheek" (1910)

My cheek is troubled too.
