*from a set of six dioramas entirely hand made in my studio some years back, the alter being the most complex of the furnishings has taken over three years to construct in my spare time.

  

The set was inspired by the eighteen equally intricate designed dollhouse-style interiors made by Frances Glessner Lee, which she titled "The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death" Her sets consist of a series of eighteen intricately designed dollhouse-style dioramas created by the greatest and my favorite doll house interior designer Frances Glessner Lee, a millionaire heiress with an interest in forensic science.

Her dioramas are detailed representations of death scenes that are composites of actual court cases, created by Glessner Lee on a 1 inch to 1 foot (1 : 12) scale./same as mine/ She attended autopsies to ensure accuracy, and her attention to detail extended to having a wall calendar include the pages after the month of the incident, constructing openable windows, and wearing out-of-date clothing to obtain realistically worn fabric. She called them the Nutshell Studies because the purpose of a forensic investigation is said to be to "convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell. Students were instructed to study the scene methodically—she suggested moving the eyes in a clockwise spiral—and draw conclusions from the visual evidence. At conferences hosted by Glessner Lee, prominent crime-scene investigators were given 90 minutes to study each diorama.

The dioramas show tawdry and in many cases disheveled living spaces very different from Glessner Lee's own background. The dead include prostitutes and victims of domestic violence.

Glessner Lee used her inheritance to set up Harvard's department of legal medicine, and donated the Nutshell dioramas in 1945 for use in lectures on the subject of crime scene investigation. In 1966 the department was dissolved and the sets were placed in storage. Presently the dioramas can be viewed by appointment at the Maryland Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore. A exhibit well worth while to visit for those interested in doll house interiors.Those wishing to view these sets, I strongly suggest making an appointment well before setting out to view them.

 

We are once again, after many years revisiting my own sets, each with it's own story connected to real life events and sharing them with some of my flickr. friends who expressed interest in viewing them.

None of the renderings have previously been exhibited or published.

I am most interested in your comments for we are once again entertaining the thought of publishing them with their stories in book form.

Thank you!

thank you for your interest.

*this so true to life rendition after so many attempts is best viewed on black.

p.s. not everything we paint comes out as we wish, this is one is one of the few that did pan out!

*literally translated: "the grave digger" this is a man dressed in a bullfighters costume without adornments, who works for the matador first as a "cape man" who throws the cape over the barrera so the bullfighter can study the bulls charge, secondly, if asked, will place the banderillas and thirdly and most importantly must bring the bull to his knees after the sword has been placed by the matador ineptly, this must be done rapidly and repeatedly alternately flashing the cape into the bulls face, thus dizzying the bull to its knees at which point the "puntillero" or butcher sneaks up from behind for the "coupe de grace.

PS from my notes on bullfighting, translated from Spanish.

At the age of seventeen, I held my first exhibit at the Tivoli gallery in Panama city in 1954 together with Isaac Benitez who became after his death, a "National Treasure" with Panama honoring him with his image on a postage stamp. The three paintings displayed were after my first exposure to bullfighting and one showed a "pntillero" at work; I was asked to replace it with a "torero" and advised not to paint "the low lives"

of bullfighting, a term I have never forgotten; the stuff one remebers when old

Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was one of the most famous Expressionist Norwegian painters. His style, known as symbolism, which mainly focused on life, love, anxiety, and loneliness played a significant role in the late 20th-century art, especially in German expressionism. The dark color and somber tones, the exaggerated forms, and the contrasting lines in his designs portrayed his psychological state. His most iconic artwork, The Scream (1893), which depicts the agonized face and radical expressions, symbolizes anxiety, one of human's most common psychological conditions.

"Plegaria" dedicated to fellow artist Marlene Azoulai; a artist who's work I have admired for some time and who through her kindness has opened up a new avenue of art for me to explore. A rare event for an old artist to want to explore new ways of expressing one self and at the same time create something lasting instead just revising the past to amuse one self. Since my retirement most of my art has been based on projects of my earlier years, in short, what we call at home: "cop-out-art" Many would wonder why we call it art at all.

We often hear artists including myself justifying such activity by saying that we do it for our selves which is fine but it should not be called art. Another artist who's work I admire, calls it "doodling"

For something to be called art it must communicate something worthwhile, leaving a message, a cry, a shout, a cry, whatever, but it can not be Van Gogh's, Chagal's, Picasso's, or who ever, it must be one's own. Not an easy task, for we are brainwashed from the paintings of the greats by just going to our dentists, florist's, Pizza parlors, all who exhibit some of the best art ever produced. As Diego Rivera used to say: "Art that "expresses" but does not convey is no art at all. It is no more than the chirping of a cricket or the barking of a dog at the full moon," Which brings me to Marlene Azoulai and her art. She makes no pretty pictures, neither does she bark; when she tries to, instead she bites. In other words, her work is art as it should be.

Thank you, Marlene for the "e-mail" link that has provided me with a new purpose in art making.

This watercolor will be reduced and will be included in my book titled: "Santa Maria del Buen Ayre"You Tube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA9DEHaOLqQ&feature=fvsr

*recently recovered; drinking vessels, known as "botas" were popular in the early fifties through late 60's, worn to bullfights and cockfights and generally in competition drinking events. Most artists used them as companions while traveling or painting plein air, they fell out of favor in the 70's, because it was felt that using them promoted alcoholism. Personally gave up using them in the early 70's, with smoking.

*serie: "Amores clandestinos" una plegoria; inspirado por Jose Luis Cuevas

from a cumbia, recital of a prayer: "Oh, little virgin, why do you make me bleed?"

/bleeding in reference to monthly periods/, for if I bleed where will I go?"

The cumbia was written in the early sixty's and pre, Beadles recording of "Only woman bleed"

*my version; only Sammi really knows what happened.

Uribe was a San Francisco based painter in the 80's, now sadly but forgotten

* from artist's notebooks on exhibits, overheard two prospective buyers using these artist's names in reference to one of my paintings similar to above on display some years ago; could not hear the rest but clearly heard these three names mentioned. From that day on I realized that art viewed by a stranger is viewed mostly in comparison to works of famous artists. Same as if a man would approach a woman by exclaiming "Some parts of you remind me of Nancy Reagan, your arms of Betty Ford and your behind of Marilyn Monroe.

p.s. this painting which has nothing to do with the title, is best viewed on black

p.s. I do have a title but since it is so reminiscent to the one I heard the comment I decided to use these famous artist's name and since they are all dead I don't expect to get nasty e-mails; as to those of you looking at it you are welcome to call it what you want!

*"left for dead" vintage flyer, poster by Krikl

* the series deals with a much "dissected"and discussed subject and one of much stress in most Latin American upper middle class families and to my knowledge not explored "artisticaly" namely the hiring and firing of young female domestic help. It was customery /pre woman-lib/ that the hiring of domestic help /except kitchen help/ would be left to the man of the house, much to the consternation of the wifes, for those hired, come from the interior, are under age, uneducated but with one common trait namely extra-ordinary beauty and in-born savy on how to get pregnant.

While living in Central America in the fifties, I have never met a family that was not raising children from these relationships and knew a prominent family that were raising twelve "out of wedlock" children and treating them as their own. When it comes to the dismissal of these young girls, the wife's usually win, but the "Maria's de nadie" as they are called /Mary's that belong to no one/ by the jillted wife,s, win the battle in the end, for after being booted out continue their relationships till well advanced age, many seeking higher education for themselves and their children.

It is a well accepted fact that the Latin mistress becomes the master of "their man".

 

My series explores this fascinating subject based on hearsay, annecdotes and observations

Contrary to the sad and tragic portrayel of these woman in fiction and cinema, they through their "experiences" in all things domestic beacome a force to be reckond with.

*mixed media: aluminum, welded wire, plaster, acrylic paint on plywood

best seen on black

 

*from a selection of sketches, drawings and portraits of people known to artist, their dreams, anxieties and life styles as perceived by artist. Sketchbooks are the diaries artists carry in their heads until put on paper, they are made entirely from the stuff we carry in our heads, they are not copies of other people's art and are not made to please anyone except artist who may or my not use them in future for the making of art. They are neither good or bad; I don't even know if they can be categorized as art, all i know they are revealing to what we feel within ourselves and what we think of those that have influenced our art. The portraits are not as they or the world sees them but as we perceive them to be. In short they are nothing but impressions of them at the moment which can often change within minutes or hours. There are some of course who never change for the better or worse. When viewing set, should anyone be interested in the character or image drawn, you are welcome to question them in my comment box and I will gladly answer your queries.

Thank you!

p.s. I am posting them with the intend of publishing several hundred of them in a art book with notations on how some of them evolved into paintings, most of which appeared subconsciously.

*mixed media: shaped aluminum, enameled, welded wire inspired by the famous poem "light my fire" set to music by the genius of Lucho Bermudez. youtu.be/THiOUIhk3YI
