His recent show at the Courtauld was fascinating
The photographs donât truly represent the almost savage way he applied and removed charcoal sometimes over months of drawing, having to patch in bits of paper, the depth and texture of the marks, sometimes the likeness is hidden by the application and reapplication.

Tough call on where to place this one.

Yeah, I just read his Wikipedia page. He was definitely a mixed bag. His support of marriage equality seems legit, though. And he turned down an opportunity to represent Trump in 2018 in the Russia election interference case. But he also represented Bush in Bush v Gore, soâŚ. . His 3rd wife was on the plane that hit the Pentagon on 9/11. He led an interesting life, thatâs for sure.

As you can imagine, between the singing (especially folk and gospel) and the childrenâs work and being a nearly lifelong Chicagoan, her loss is felt deeply in our household. Such an amazing hero.

The background circumstances in the article suggest it was accidental if this were a reasonable world, and I donât like conspiratorial thinking, but Russian balconies, easily constructed circumstances, his having spoken out for peace, and this is not a reasonable world, so of course the first thought is âdamn, the targeting is getting broader.â

Nor I. But:
- a 39-year-old professional dancer is in a low-risk group for balcony accidents, and
- high-profile Russians who oppose the war are in a high-risk group for the same accidents.
Yup.
