Brubeck the Genius

DAVE BRUBECK was such a terrific man of jazz.  His 'Take Five; was so vivid....indeed, magnificent.

Georges Braque

THE FAUVIST ('WILD BEAST') AND CUBIST Georges Braque enchants with his flourishing vibrancy of shimmering modernism.  It remains profound indeed the work of the Parisian Braque.  He along with Pablo Picasso came up with some overwhelming dramatic art between roughly 1908 and 1912.  Picasso soared on past his decorative "blue period" into the robust, Rabelaisian mode of virile cubism   Georges Braque was allegedly a bit more quiet than Picasso and yet his potent artistic contribution to historic modernism in art seems even now so very legendary.  Like the authoritarian jazz of John Coltrane, Braque sends a message of sinuous and resilient art modes and injects them into our rather Joycean streams of 21st Century consciousness.

Benedetto Marcello 12 Concerti Grossi OP I

Joan Miro

VIVID AND BRASH...that is the emotional, strong art of the Catalan artist, Joan Miro.  This man of Spain (the Catalan region) was a fine persona indeed from the grand city of Barcelona.  Love his incredible art.

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.
