“She is the subject of more hostile criticism.” [Image caption]
This is a classic example of Gibson’s work, capturing social dynamics and gender roles of the early 20th century. The scene presents an intriguing contrast between the widow, who garners attention and admiration from the men, and the wives who appear to be critical or perhaps envious. The admiration the widow receives could provoke feelings of jealousy and insecurity among the wives. This scenario reflects the societal pressures and expectations placed on women during that era. The wives might feel threatened by the widow’s charm and independence, leading to their hostile criticism.
As for the widow's friends, it's possible that the title "A Widow and Her Friends" is somewhat ironic, highlighting the complexities and often competitive nature of social relationships. The term "friends" here could be seen as a commentary on how superficial and conditional these relationships can be, especially in social settings where appearance and reputation play significant roles.

One of the first published depictions of cyborgs:
“On the moon cyborgs unreel a cable to explosives for a seismic blast. On the front cyborg’s belt, tubes pump chemicals to his blood to control his blood pressure, pulse, energy, tranquility, blood sugar, body temperature, radiation tolerance. Pumps obey sensors like the radiation counter in his left thigh or blood-pressure gauge in his right thigh. His heart, in the X-ray view, sends blood to the implanted converter which remakes oxygen and carbon from carbon dioxide, taking the place of lungs. On the back of the other cyborg are a food supply, master fuel cell, food processor and wastes canister.” [Image description]
“Striding buoyantly across the low-gravity surface of the moon, there may someday be strange new men – part human, part machine – like the ones above. They will have a strange name: CYBORGS (for CYBernetic ORGanisms). Cyborgs, according to a daring new idea, will be men whose body organs and systems are automatically adjusted for life in unearthly environments by artificial organs and senses. Some of these devices will be attached, others implanted by surgery. With their aid cyborgs can dispense with clumsy, easy-to-puncture space suits in which earth conditions are re-created. Instead, they can move about safely wearing not much more than they would at home . . .” [Opening paragraph]

Working the canvas on the 'Hair of Wool' piece for my 'Everyone Could Use A HERO' fine-art exhibit at CentralGallery. The BobMarley piece entitled: 'Zion Lion' looks on. I like to paint and sketch my historical pieces in such a way that the subject chosen is studying YOU just as much as YOU are studying the subject. So in essence, the viewing is very up close and personal. The eyes follow you no matter what direction you view them. This technique makes the feeling more real as well as more (personal)... they are speaking directly to YOU. The cuts, scratches, scrapes, and abrasions that I inflict with blades, knives, sandpaper and rocks prepare my canvases for the pain that I show in each and every face. Much like the pain and suffering that 'the ancestors' endured from the whips, fists, spit, rapes, insults, indifference, humiliation, hoses, hangings, bullets, dogs, etc. displayed for EVERYONE to see on each individual's face. This is so deep that most of those who have experienced the exhibit refer to the encounter as nothing short of 'POWERFUL.' I would NOT have it any other way... (peace)..., *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.
