The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Francis Coppola's The Godfather
http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2012/01/francis-coppolas-godfather.html
The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Friday, January 13, 2012. Francis Coppola's The Godfather. Parts I and II. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Paramount, 1972 and 1974. Francis Ford Coppola’s The. Based on Mario Puzo’s novel, is a masterpiece, and its deep engagement is one of both style and content: its story is not only about the induction of one young man into a crime family—there is something more elemental beneath that, something about innocence and experience, idealism and pragmatism. In light of...

http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2011/11/note-on-black-art-and-culture-in-20th.html
The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Thursday, November 10, 2011. Note on “Black Art and Culture in the 20th Century”. I have been reading Richard J. Powell’s study Black. Thames and Hudson, 1997), a book I first encountered several years ago: it’s a history of black diaspora visual culture, with a focus on African-American painting, sculpture, photography, and film, though it also comments on culture in Africa, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean. I love film, so the photographs from Cabin. Arts and Le...

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Occupy Wall Street
http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-wall-street.html
The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Many people spend their lives trying to reconcile their hopes for themselves with the world—indifferent, skeptical—as it is. Yet, there are times when one feels either most optimistic or most threatened, and then one challenges that complacency, the self-satisfaction of the comfortable and the powerful.

I could spend three hours or more at a museum, seeing each thing, reading about each thing, and leave exhausted, my eyes red, my legs stiff. It can be hard to convey t...
