No figure class on Tuesday the 10th due to Veterans Day holiday.
All other classes on Monday and Wednesday will be in session.
Above is Marsden Hartley's homage to a WW1 German officer.
For those artists, how about a painting that starts with the concept of militarism and becomes
a decorative pattern piece, as Hartley's painting, based on his love for a military officer,
did 100 years ago.
Nothing has changed, the same old jingoism that drives patriotism and our experience of the resultant
horrors seem to have no effect on our specie's war-like instincts.
So why not turn to these into art.
See you next week, John.
