Greetings from the rainy state of Georgia

I wouldn’t have believed the unseasonably rainy weather unless I was sitting on the back porch now, watching it pour as I try to catch up on things. I had a fantastic trip through the Balkans, and a quick visit to Sweden and New York City, before coming home to Georgia, where I will be living for the next two years, as I complete a Masters program  in Art History. But before school starts next week, I want to catch up on my travel notes, the 2,500+ photographs I took, and start sharing some of the awesome things I’ve seen. (Last but not least was Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument in New York.)

Art with revolution

Posted on by

“Art has always been employed by the different social classes who hold the balance of power as one instrument of domination — hence, as a political Instrument. One can analyze epoch after epoch–from the stone age to our own day–and see that there is no form of art which does not also play an essential political role . . . What is it then that we really need?… An art with revolution as its subject: because the principal interest in the worker’s life has to be touched first.”

–Diego Rivera, 1929

Short weeks don’t always go quickly enough. Happy almost Friday!

Not always so easy or pleasant if it means feeling what you are writing
Really striking, lovely images in RED
Always delightful.
