Forgive me ... I couldn't resist!
Representing hope and freedom, a 25 foot, 6,000 pound statue named, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, by world-renowned artist, J. Seward Johnson, is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor, Carl Muscarello, kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.
Edith Shain, the nurse memorialized in Eisenstaedt’s photo, states, "There is so much romance in the statue; it gives such a feeling of hope to all who look at it."
“This statue brings back so many memories of peace, love and happiness. During the moment of the kiss I don’t remember much, it happened so fast and it happened at the perfect time. I didn’t even look at the Sailor who was kissing me,” Shain continued. “I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment like any woman would have done.”
For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego Bay. It was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Florida in 2006.
Here is a White Mountain Apache cowboy, Morning Glory, looking like a prize fighter who had ended up too often on the canvas . This is another from my White River, Labor Day rodeo series. I met Ernst Haas (1921-1986) in 1968 at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Rodeo. He reminded me of a surgeon asking for different instruments while performing an operation. Haas politely asked his assistant for a camera with a particular lens from an assortment of cameras containing either black and white or color film. An image he took, while standing next to me, made the July 2nd, 1971 front cover of Life magazine. It ceased being a weekly in December of the following year. Look magazine, which had been launched in 1937 only months after Life, had folded in 1971. Both were victims of rising postal rates and the loss of advertising revenue due to TV.
Look's photo collection of six million items was donated to the Library of Congress. From 1946 to 1951 Stanley Kubrick has been a Look photographer. Of his more than 300 assignments, 100 are in the Library of Congress.

Recently, I was a keynote speaker for these students (for LEGAL purposes I cannot reveal further), but that does not matter because these students are very attentive and Amazin'!!! They told me that I ripped it (well, they said something that rhymed with rip); but anyway, if you SHOW genuine interest and share with them your time and talents; they never ever forget that. This is myself informing the students about the process of a commissioned piece I did of SnoopDogg/ SnoopLion. They LOVED it. (peace)..., *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.

This segment of Suzanne Scheurer's mural entitled "Newsgathering" was included as part of the Coit Tower Public Works Art Project (PWAP) in 1933. It illustrates the process of news production from ad purchases (seen in this photograph) to street sales. Scheurer was assisted in drawing this mural by Hebe Daum (1912-1993) who had immigrated from Holland to the US in 1923. She settled in San Francisco, and later married Peter Stackpole (1937), son of Ralph Stackpole and one of the original staff photographers for Life magazine.
Suzanne Scheuer was born in San Jose, California on February 11, 1898. She moved to San Francisco in 1918 and studied at the California School of Fine Arts and the California College of Arts and Crafts. She then taught for three years in the public schools of Los Banos and Salinas. In 1940 she joined the art faculty at the College of the Pacific in Stockton and taught there for ten years. She then moved to Santa Cruz, California where she designed and built six houses, doing much of the physical and artistic work herself while continuing to paint and sculpt. Scheuer died in Santa Cruz on December 20, 1984.
