Joan Miro

MIRO'S ART is exuberantly shrewd and so intensely intricate.  Like Rene Magritte, Joan Miro is a wild, passion-filled essence that feels intoxicating.  The art of Chagall and Miro is deliciously cunning and mod and oh so satisfying.

Movie Directors

FACT:  The job of a movie director is often quite difficult but many people have done the job well.  Hitch comes to mind, John Ford, Lubitsch and Mike Nichols.  The cultural arena that is the director's ouevre is often a very steep slope.  I know the super moments in my life have come from watching the film directors wizardry unfold.  These people are treasures.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
