There's a new biography out on my favorite painter, Modigliani. It was through his art that I learned of his fascinatingly short, Charlie Sheen-like life. Quite a fellow, I'd say.

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Never heard of this guy but I'm not surprised by his story. European "artists" are so venerated it's sort of creepy, and they get away with murder. That's one of the differences between European and American kids. The Europeans all wanted to be Mozart or Picasso and American kids wanted to be Eddie Van Halen. They've still got that Franz Liszt artist superhero thing going on.
That ain't Rachel, that's me. It must have automatically signed in under my bidnez address.
CW - Have you seen the movie "Modigliani" with Andy Garcia and Eva Herzigova?
Plus, I wanted to put a buffer between Hammer and the next person who was bound to jump on his dual-gender identity. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.
BTW, Hammer, long time with the same picture. Both the duration and appeal are somewhat out of character. You feeling okay?
You have a favorite painter???
