Obama not McCain

It is Obama with his open mind that is wanted at this time. Not McCain vainly reechoing neoCon niose.

Samizu 1973 diary as rhyming poetry - AI version

Samizu's 1973 diary as a poem In the summer's embrace, 'twas July's prime, Nineteen seventy-three, a memorable time. By the shore's edge, a beach so serene, Bill, Donny, and Malena, a heroic scene. A private cabana, borrowed with care, Under the sun, we gathered, a group so rare. Bodies glistened, the ocean's allure, Yet I sat in my chair, content to endure. Men's eyes were drawn to Malena's grace, Her beauty captivating, an ethereal chase. Nightfall beckoned, to an Italian delight, Pasta consumed, conversations taking flight. Bill's sister arrived, with a babe in her arms, Friends in tow, adding to summer's charms. Water beckoned, I entered a few times, Yet swimming eluded, as we savored the rhymes.

'70's realism painting pioneer Samizu Matsuki paints new Jimi Hendrix portraits

Image
Samizu Matsuki is an incredible and incredibly quiet and non assuming Japanese artist who played a pivotal though nearly invisible role in relegitimizing classical realism as an oil painting genre in New York City in the late 1960's and 1970s. Samizu's mother Masue Matsuki was a "Modern Girl" of 1920's interwar Japan; her father the educator Satoru Matsuki was also part of t he cultural revolution among young Japanese of that era, whose adoption of western clothing, culture and mass consumerism both galvanaized and alarmed Japanese society of the time. So too was her art teacher Setsuko Migishi at the Women's College of Fine Arts a Modern Girl; she who immersed her pupil in the western classical art tradition. For indeed, Samizu Matsuki, in her magically evocative realistic oil paintings,  can be considered as one of the culminating flowers of the Modern Girl philosophy, brought back,  to the American cultural capital of the 1960s and 70's: New Yor...
