Farruca is a spanish dance usually danced by a male dancer (bailaor). Having saying that I've seen a group of female dancers dancing Farruca in Finland.
Farruca on espanjalainen tanssi jonka yleensä esittää miestanssija. Olen kuitenkin nähnyt naistanssijaryhmän esittävän Farrucaa Suomessa. Se oli muistaakseni Sysmän torilla kesällä 2007. Siellä oli kirjapäivä ja myös espanjalainen kulttuuri esillä.
Graffiti on Toronto’s streets was flourishing in the mid-1990s. Heavily influenced by the scene in New York City in the 1970s, graffiti artists talked about their inspirations and their battle with the idiots of graffiti: the tagger.
Editor-in-Chief: David South
In 1994 a huge schism had grown in Canada between youth and the wider media. Young people were not reflected anywhere and their views were ignored. That is, until Watch Magazine exploded onto the streets of Toronto and into the halls of the city’s high schools. I was hired by Youth Culture to be the Editor-in-Chief for this unique business: a magazine staffed by high school students but covering the wider worlds of pop music, culture, fashion, politics and the arts.

This painting was about mark making restraint. I would make a mark think about that mark to the point that I was scared to make another. I continued that process until cowardice over took me and I stopped.
Mervin Jules - (American - 1912 - 1994)
Everyone Walks on His Shadow - 1937
Mervin Jules attended Baltimore City College in 1930 and received a degree from the Maryland Institute of Fine and Applied Arts in 1934. The following year he went to New York City and studied with Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League. Jules's work was first exhibited in 1935. He was artist-in-residence at Smith College from 1945 to 1946 and a professor from 1946 to 1969. In 1969 he became chairman of the art department at the City College of New York. In addition to teaching and exhibiting his work, Jules published articles about art. He had a studio in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Mervin Jules saw his paintings and prints as social commentary, and was genuinely excited by “people and what they do.” A 1945 critic described him as an “artist with genuine social conscience . . . an effective spokesman for liberal ideas.” (Watson, “Artist’s Show Gives Evidence of Greater Freedom as Painter,” Washington Post, April 22, 1945) At the Art Students League in New York, he studied the European masters Honoré Daumier and Francisco Goya, to learn how they used caricature to confront unjust social conditions. Some found his early work hard to take, and one critic even referred to it as “brash expressionism and over-charged emotional reactions.” (Devree, “Time Mellows Mervin Jules’ Work, Seen in One-Man Show at ACA Gallery,” New York Times, September 30, 1954) Nevertheless, Jules published his prints, exhibited his paintings widely, and held prestigious teaching positions at Smith College and at the City College of New York.

The Mint Museum is the largest visual arts institution in Charlotte and holds the largest public collection of Charlotte-born artist Romare Bearden's work.
The American Art collection comprises approximately 900 works created between the late 1700s and circa 1945. It includes portraiture of the Federal era, 19th century landscapes, and paintings from the group known as "The Eight" (Robert Henri, George Luks, William Glackens, John Sloan, Everett Shinn, Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson, and Arthur Bowen Davies). Additional highlights in this area include works by John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, and Hudson River School painters Thomas Cole and Sanford Gifford.
The Art of the Ancient Americas collection includes roughly 2,000 objects from more than 40 cultures, spanning more than 4,500 years. The collection includes body adornments, tools, ceramic vessels, sculpture, textiles, and metal ornaments.
There are about 2,230 objects in the Mint's collection of Contemporary Art. These include the Bearden collection and other works on paper, contemporary sculpture, and photography from circa 1945 to the present.
The Mint's Decorative Arts collection, considered one of the finest in the country, centers on its holdings in ceramics. Containing more than 12,000 objects from 2000 B.C. to 1950 A.D., the collection includes a wide variety of ancient Chinese ceramics, 18th century European and English wares, American art pottery, and North Carolina pottery. The Mint has the largest and most comprehensive collection of North Carolina pottery in the nation. Its collection of North Carolina pottery comprises some 2,200 objects, dating from the 1700s.
The museum's Delhom collection, given to the Mint in 1966, contains 2,000 pieces of historic pottery and porcelain, as well as pre-Columbian pieces that are more than 4,500 years old.
Almost 10,000 items of men's, women's, and children's fashions from the early 18th century to present-day haute couture are included in the museum's collection of Historic Costume and Fashionable Dress, which approaches fashion as an art form.

I have just finished Ambiguity the first part in my Abstract Expressionist series. I uploaded all of the images and will be making further cuts to get down to the 30 images in the series. so if you want to see all of the images had over to the page!
Please note that the artist statement is still a work in progress!
These polaroids remind me a bit of Mark Rothko's work. Although I admire him immensely, these shots were actually supposed to turn out looking a lot more like daffodils than Rothko's "multiforms." Sadly, my recently acquired SX-70 (because, let's face it, I have a Polaroid addiction) may be destined for decorative use only, as it seems hell-bent on ejecting several sheets of film (and these only partway!) each time the shutter release button is pressed. Could be a bad pack of film, but I'm reluctant to find out by wasting another pack when the damn stuff is discontinued.
