Humankind's wounds, those huge sores that litter the world, do not stop at the blue and red lines drawn on maps. Wherever men go in ignorance or despair, wherever women sell themselves for bread, wherever children lack a book to learn from or a warm hearth, Les Misérables knocks at the door and says: "open up, I am here for you".

Watercolour and graphite on off-white wove paper
Made on his second visit to The Bahamas, A Wall, Nassau demonstrates Homer's continued interest in boundaries between public and private spaces. The exhuberant blossoms, foliage, sky and sea contrast with pale washes suggesting sunlight and shadow across walls. On the left, a gate stands open. But with dark shards of glass lining the top of the wall, Homer highlights barriers intended to deter trespassers. The bottle shard-lined walls are a common feature in the Caribbean today.

Winslow Homer: Force of Nature
(September 2022 – January 2023)
[A]n overview of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), the great American Realist painter who confronted the leading issues facing the United States, and its relationship with both Europe and the Caribbean world, in the final decades of the 19th century.
Homer’s career spanned a turning point in North American history. He lived through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, so-called Reconstruction, and war with the last colonial European power in the Americas, Spain.
From his sketches of battle and camp life, to dazzling tropical views and darker restless seascapes, the works reflect Homer’s interest in the pressing issues of his time; conflict, race, and the relationship between humankind and the environment – issues still relevant for us today.
After the war, Homer’s subject became the lives of Americans in the wake of the war and abolition with a focus on the lives of formerly enslaved African Americans.
Homer travelled to France, England, the Bahamas, Cuba and Bermuda. In England, he painted scenes of heroism and resilience that he saw while staying in Cullercoats, a town on the North East coast. In the Caribbean, his paintings became more vivid as he painted the transparent turquoise waters and lush vegetation. His interest in conflict remained constant and he often explored the issue through painting the life and struggles of Black people.
With more than fifty paintings, covering over forty years of Homer’s career, 'Winslow Homer: Force of Nature' is part of a programme of exhibitions that introduce major American artists to a UK and European audience and follows on from our exhibitions about George Bellows and the Ashcan painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole.

The atheists blame God and religion for all of humankind's problems. Such proves the shallowness of atheism's manner of thinking. A nonexistent being cannot take blame for anything which happens to occur in the Universe. "Religion" is merely a word which is used to classify a set of human opinions and therefore cannot take either credit or blame for any of humankind's behavior.
God's nonexistence exonerates God from all blame for humankind's failure. Since humankind lacks free will it is quite impossible to blame humans for the failure of humankind. Humankind's failure then represents nothing more than a failure of evolution, an evolutionary dead end and proof that a primate can behave with the same sort of amorality exhibited by diseases and viruses and cancer and natural disasters.
Although humankind isn't innocent humankind is helpless and beyond the reach of any cure for the affliction and curse known as "human nature". Humankind has known about the existence of this problem for thousands of years: It is the reason why religion was invented and why humans have wasted thousands of years praying to imaginary gods for help and rescue and salvation and peace.
In the scientific era, humankind's cry out to God has been replaced by humankind crying out to space in search of a wise and intelligent and benevolent alien intelligence to provide the cure which God failed to provide. Such a wish is as much nonsense as religion and represents not science fiction type thinking but fantasy thinking.
Humankind is alone in the Universe. There's nobody out there listening for some signal of intelligent life from the Earth. The Universe beyond the Earth is absolutely sterile. Humankind is absolutely and eternally alone.
Once humankind finishes driving itself extinct the Universe will have precisely zero human-like intelligent life forms. This is true even if the Universe is infinite in size.

This was written on a vehicle by the driver on 10/15/16 - The day of the 2017 Breast Cancer Walk here in NYC. I don't think it belongs in the usual street art/graffiti groups.

Theme of this project is ‘Plastic Pollution’ and the effect on humankind. With these pictures I want to represent the oppressive feeling of humans surrounded by plastic.
"All humankind are as children in a school,
and the Dawning-Points of Light,
the Sources of divine revelation,
are the teachers,
wondrous and without peer."

Abdu'l-Baha, p. 128

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together … all things connect.” —Chief Seattle
I think it's time we start living with the above realization in mind, Mother Earth can only take so much before she revolts.
NY after the humankind disapear. The green take the city and covers the buildings. Wolves walks freely. Plenty of flying foxes. Last of Us. --ar 16:9 --v 6.1 @GibroWalker
