Zum Tod des Saxophonisten Pharoah Sanders Der Masterplan zur Freiheit

Es schüttet in Strömen während der Beerdigung. Es wird viel geweint, der Wein fließt reichlich, ein paar Spechte sind mit dabei, und einige Träume füllen die Leerstellen der Seele.

Kriangkrai Kongkhanun (b 1980, Thai) studied at art schools in Thailand as well as in Italy, visiting the most important art museums in the West. He forged a link between the Buddhist symbolism found in traditional pictures and the western imagery of the Renaissance and the 19th century. The Buddhist codex of ethics defines his way of thinking. He also wants to study why negative human traits, such as anger, hatred and selfishness, namely evil properties, are so closely woven into human life that they always resurface from the subconscious.

Arbeit schändet ~ Work Disgraces aka Newspaper Carriers

by Georg Scholz, 1921

Watercolour and black chalk on paper 30,9 cm x 49 cm Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe, Germany

Georg Scholz (October 10, 1890 Wolfenbüttel – November 27, 1945 Waldkirch) was a German painter, member of the New Objectivity movement.

Scholz was born in Wolfenbüttel and had his artistic training at the Karlsruhe Academy, where his teachers included Hans Thoma and Wilhelm Trübner. He later studied in Berlin under Lovis Corinth. After military service in World War I lasting from 1915 to 1918, he resumed painting, working in a style fusing cubist and futurist ideas.

With the rise to power of Hitler and the National Socialists in 1933, Scholz was quickly dismissed from his teaching position. Declared a Degenerate Artist, his works were among those seized in 1937 as part of a campaign by the Nazis to "purify" German culture, and he was forbidden to paint in 1939.
