Dr. Strangeperle 4/18
This parody cartoon or still was created by IWR for the PBS series America at a Crossroads which aired last night (4/17/2007).  The opening of the Richard Perle documentary The Case for War: In Defense of Freedom featured this Doctor Strangelove parody cartoon.  BTW, that's all you need to see unless you want to get cheesed by Perle's BS. ;-)

It took me a lot longer than I imaged to complete this move to Lafayette, but it was definitely worth the hassle. - Ed.

Louise Brooks on YouTube
Louise Brooks [Bio 1906-1985]
Thanks to Netflix, I have now seen several Louise Brooks movies. Pandora's Box her was greatest movie, which was directed by G. W. Pabst in Berlin.  It's now one of my favorite movies of all time. The close ups of Lulu (Louise Brooks) are simply enchanting.  Her timeless beauty and talent as a silent era actress are truly remarkable.  My eyes were just glued to the screen by her beautiful expressions, bright eyes, bob hair cut, long smooth neck and back.

PANDORA'S BOX - Lulu's "Mr Brightside"
This is a video taken from clips of Pandora's Box, which I think is quite well done.  I also like the music by the Killers.

Louise Brooks in Berlin
This is a clip from the documentary "Louise Brooks: Looking for Lulu", which is a pretty decent film about Louise Brooks.

Louise Brooks - A Tribute in Color
This a video of several sacrilegious colorized photos of Miss Brooks.

Talking Heads - Take Me To The River
Fast forward to 1984 and the Talking Heads innovative concert movie "Stop Making Sense", and watch them cover Al Green (above).

Evelyn De Morgan [Bio 1855-1919]
Evelyn De Morgan was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter.  Evelyn painted Flora (below) featuring her favorite model, the stunningly beautiful Jane Hales.  Flora was strongly influenced by Botticelli's Primavera and was even painted in Florence.  I think Jane Hales would also be a perfect model for the Birth of Venus, with her turned head and long neck.

Taiso Yoshitoshi [Bio 1839–1892]
I have blogged Yoshitoshi before, but yesterday I went to an exhibit of his 100 of his woodblock prints at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, and I was very impressed.  It was great to see his colorful artwork close up and read the curator's comments describing each illustration.  Unlike his famous Ukiyo-e counterparts, who focused mainly on scenery (Hiroshige and Hokusai) or beauties (Utamaro), Yoshitoshi's depicted some the strangest folktales and characters from Japanese history.

Iga no Tsubone (1885-92)

East Asia Ads (Tea Time)
This is a great collection of mostly Japanese ads from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s.  Several of these ads feature the Japanese movie actress of the 40s and 50s the beautiful Setsuko Hara, who played the "eternal virgin" in Ozu's Noriko Trilogy.  She was also considered the ideal woman by both Japanese men and women during her reign in the golden age of Japanese cinema.

I like this figurative artist's style.  In particular, I love untitled portrait below.

These whimsical sculptures are great.  Whatever you're smoking Lisa, could you send me a lid? ;-)
