Buh-bye Arthur! It was real!

In memory of yesterday's tropical storm that passed through my area as a disorganized system, this is an image of Dudley Moore as Arthur, the title character of the movie, with a glass of booze and his head at the window of a vintage limo.

Donald Trump is an orange-haired version of Flattop Jones Sr., the Dick Tracy criminal. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

The piano Andre 3000 carried on his back at the Met Gala reminded me of the piano carried on the back of an itinerant musician in August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson." www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

Friday catblogging: 2024 hurricane evacuation version.

An adorable Siamese-mix cat, named TuTu, lays on a gray sofa. There is perhaps an unquiet look on her face. Her ears are at attention. Nonetheless, she does seem to be resting calmly as well.

I first saw Philip Guston's "Hoods" series at an exhibit at SFMOMA when I was just out of high school. I'd never seen art like that.

"The Studio," 1969, Philip Guston, oil on canvas. Seemingly a self portrait, a Klan-hooded painter at an easel paints a likeness of himself on a canvas.

Julia7 @julia7.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Here's "Edge of Town,"" a 1969 painting from Philip Guston's genius "Hoods" series. To me, now, it shows Donald and his cohorts moving around, looking for trouble. I also see Jan 6 rioters heading to D.C. in 2021. It is the most memorable painting in the series for me. www.moma.org/collection/w...

"Edge of Town" oil painting by Philip Guston, 1969. It depicts two hooded Klan figures riding in a convertible jalopy. Ominous-looking 2"x4"s (one with conspicuous nails in it, like a weapon) stick out of the top of the car. The figures are smoking, even though there are no mouth holes in the hoods. Their gaze is (always) intently forward through two eye slots.

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, plotting.

"Open Window II" painting by Philip Guston, 1969. Two men in Klan hoods stand by an open window with a city skyline visible through the window. They appear to be in discussion, with one smoking a cigar and one pointing a finger at the other.

When I was in college, I saw a series of paintings by Philip Guston at SFMOMA. These great works became a lifelong interest. His disturbing "hoods" paintings have morphed again for me, as great art does, to illuminating the construction/mob life Donald was born into, and that his father encouraged.

Philip Guston's "City Limits" oil painting, 1969, depicting three hooded Klansmen in a car. Colors are primarily red, pink, black and white, with some brown.
