This is very powerful! The message is so in your face that its it’s almost hidden in plain sight.

The Docker by Mari Andriessen. Made as a memorial to the February strike (February 25th 1941, 79 years ago today) when the workers of Amsterdam rose up to protest against the first mass deportations of Jews by the occupying Nazis. In the end the huge majority of Dutch Jews were murdered anyway but it was a brave showing of defiance, protest and resistance.

Bumping up this thread. @Runningfree thought you might like these posts :innocent:

This one was painted by my grandmother. It is a farm in Vermont that was in my family for a time, years ago. It hangs in my living room:

Life weathers us, but the beauty is in the living: in showing up, being present. The beauty is not in the ideal we wish we were - but in the life we live fully and honestly.

Wow, well remembered! I’d forgotten about this thread. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a gallery sadly, need to fix that.

I’m very much enjoying Margaret Mee currently. I had never heard if her until I found this book a few months ago, and now I’m obsessed.

Thanks for bringing this back from the dead Matt! I like to share these two A6 sized drawings by my friend Frank Brave who died of drink and drugs related causes some years ago. I knew him from the bar, where he would draw on these post card sized pieces of carton or on beermats. Wish he was still around.
