study for portrait of SS Oberfuhrer Dr. Victor Brack for "Doctors of Death" project shown at Southwest Texas State University art gallery in 1985. /from my own recently found notes on project a translation of a letter Dr. Brack send to Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, June 1942. Dear Reichsfuhrer! Allow me to remind you that it has been over a year now since we discussed the sterilization of some two million jews, so as to render them incapable to reproduce yet utilize them for labor. At that time you liked the idea but objected to the cost and time allocated to this enterprise. I am now happy to report to you that my staff ,working diligently came up with a new process which will accomplish the same results in the shortest of time and at a fraction of the cost, I am now talking about castration via X ray a method proven at various concentration camps, in short we can now sterilize thousands of Jews in the shortest time; considering the presen labour shortages I urge you to act quickly, so we can proceed. Let me assure you that my physicians and the entire medical staff is at your disposal. Should you, dear Reichsfuhrer decide to apply my castration method, kindly instruct Reichsfuhrer Bouhler so he may notify all departments of the approval of project. Heil Hitler, Yours truly. Victor
Reposting this because I know you on Flickr have great taste! 😊 I'm not much into marketing, but since my passion is also my job, I just wanted to share that I’ve uploaded this artwork to my shop. The original is quite small, so I expanded it into new dimensions with fine art prints in limited editions! 🎨✨

*some of you have asked to see this portrait which has never been exhibited and is part of my own collection; It was under glass and had to be removed to be photographed. As most of you know Rudolf von Laben was the "inventor" of German expressionist dance /until I discovered otherwise/ which he labeled: "Ausdruckstanz" in english: Sorrow and Pain"
for more on him, visit my posting of august 1, 2010 titled: "el arte soy yo" #1

Manero Ballardo, lengua suelta, transl. "sharp tongue" portrayed as doing his "Seguiriyas"
we were fortunate to attend in 1965.
Ballardo and Jose Reyes were considered the greatest cantaores /deep singers/ of the last century.
"Cante Jondo" hondo, has roots in the most ancient, primitive songs of the Nomads roaming Europe centuries ago. It is a form of lament, complain, insult, devotion, deep sadness and exuberance. Until the 1920's it was performed exclusively by the Gypsy's of Spain by Cantaors who were selected by their peers for their skills passed on for generations. Many of the performances were linked to tragedies that befell on the clan,
with those in the group joining in by hand clapping foot stomping and shouting of encouragements and of course wails of those in pain. Outsiders were never allowed to these performances until the twenty's, when the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca "discovered" them and put their performances on the "map" so to speak.
He writes: The sounds I heard reminded me of birds in the wild, the movement of poplars and the crushing of waves against the shores. The Saeta in particular expresses all of human emotions from the saddest to the most exuberant and ending with the exaltation of overcoming a great injustice.
Garcia Lorca organized performances which were sponsored by religious organizations until the Civil war.
As a young man I have studied this ancient form of expressive art and it is the inspiration behind much of my painting activity. It has, just as in the art of "Cante Jondo" nothing to do with good or bad art, for just as in life it is unpredictable, spontaneous and could just as well be bad.
*in reference to Klara Hitler giving birth to her little beast, named Adi, on april 2oth, 1889 at Braunau am Inn, Austria. Adi, later better know as Adolf Hitler.

To light the way through Holy Week....my latest commissioned work, celebrating the mission of evangelisation of Holy Innocents' Catholic Church, Orpington, Kent.
A blessing, I was given the freedom to depict the faith of the church - and knew, almost instantaneously, that, through my painting with prayers, Jesus, Our Lady and the Holy Spirit would emerge.
In January I travelled to Orpington to view the contemporary 1970s designed church to take photographs and make drawings on location to inspire my painting; completed in February. I like to reach the heart and spirit.
The original oil painting is due to be presented to the church this month, appropriately enough during what are the 50 days of Easter.
Deep gratitude to devout parishioner and professional football choreographer Mike Delaney who made this commission possible; and the belief in my work of the parish priest Fr Victor Vella and members of the church.
Peace and Light !

The Conversion of Saint Paul The Apostle 2021 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
This new work of prayer was commenced on the Feast of The Conversion of St Paul, January 25th and completed two days ago, the Feast of St Thomas Aquinas.
Historical accounts suggest Saul, as the Apostle was first known, was short bald and red-haired - the essence of whom the artist felt through the Holy Spirit.
Saul was persecuting Christians until the miraculous visitation of Jesus stopped him in his tracks; leaving him blind for three days before being miraculously healed.
Saint Paul called himself the least of the Apostles because of his guilt at persecuting the church when he was called upon by Christ to change and evangelise the Truth.

A new work by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley, inspired by New York and created yesterday on ‘America’s Birthday’, July 4th : “Park Avenue, NYC”.
The charcoal drawing was inspired by a study in graphite that the artist made in the drawing book he carries on travels, on location in New York, absorbing the view, during his recent visit to the USA.
The artist has an abiding affection and fascination with the USA & his press includes the New York Times & TIME magazine; which published his portrait tribute of Barack Obama in 2008.
Many Americans, who make up the majority of Whatley's collectors, discover his work from the permanent art exhibit of the series of 30 paintings he was commissioned to paint for Her Majesty's Tower of London in 2000; reproduced just outside Tower Hill Station as a vibrant walkway of art to the Tower.
See more of Whatley's tributes to New York City in his NYC Art Album here on Flickr and on his website.
