"I will never know Diane Keaton, but she had a wonderful quality about her that made me think she’d always offer the best life advice and a damn good laugh while passing the joint back on a summer evening."

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard. After being lured out to the country he was beaten and tied to a fence and left for dead. For being gay.

I have a story about how his death impacted me, and it starts back in 1997, when I first moved from my birth city to Texas...

With a dog. The dog is everything.

And they are very stylized. That’s different. It’s a heady mix of humor, style and gritty crime drama.

I had not seen one before with the dog angle. Seen plenty where the wife or girlfriend is killed.

It was was all very cool. Really a brilliant script. They knew their audience.

I wonder how much it costs to start a small circus troupe? I would do seasonal or holiday themes. No animals, just cirque in artistry. Maybe it would be best to start it in Central or South America and book it across the US. Has anyone ever looked into doing something like this?

I’m aware of the criticism. There are some great songs with problematic lyrics. It’s case by case.

Diego Rivera (Mexico, 1886-1957) :
Self-Portrait with Broad-Brimmed Hat, 1907

Oil on Canvas, 84.5 × 61.5 cm.
Museo Dolores Olmedo Patino, Mexico City, MX

Bio in the alt text 👇
After arrival in Europe in 1907, Rivera initially went to study with Eduardo Chicharro in Madrid, Spain, and from there went to Paris, France, to live and work with the great gathering of artists in Montparnasse, especially at La Ruche, where his friend Amedeo Modigliani painted his portrait in 1914. His circle of close friends, which included Ilya Ehrenburg, Chaim Soutine, Modigliani's wife Jeanne Hebuterne, Max Jacob, gallery owner Leopold Zborowski, and Moise Kisling, was captured for posterity by Marie Vorobieff-Stebelska (Marevna) in her painting "Homage to Friends from Montparnasse" What A Crazy Man (1962).
 
From 1913-17, Rivera enthusiastically embraced this new school of art. Around 1917, inspired by Cezanne's paintings, Rivera shifted toward Post-Impressionism with simple forms and large patches of vivid colors. 

In 1920, Rivera left France and traveled through Italy studying its art, including Renaissance frescoes.  Rivera returned to Mexico in 1921 to become involved in the government sponsored Mexican mural program planned by Vasconcelos. The program included such artists as Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo, and French artist Jean Charlot. In January 1922, he painted his first significant mural 'Creation' in the Bolivar Auditorium of the National Preparatory School in Mexico City guarding himself with a pistol against right-wing students.

In 1922, Rivera participated in the founding of the Revolutionary Union of Technical Workers, Painters and Sculptors. Later that year he joined the Mexican Communist Party. His murals, subsequently painted in fresco only, dealt with Mexican society and reflected the country's 1910 Revolution. Rivera developed his own native style based on large, simplified figures and bold colors with an Aztec influence clearly present in murals at the Secretariat of Public Education in Mexico City begun in September 1922, intended to consist of 124 frescoes, and finished in 1928.
