Not bad. I've seen this before. Van Gogh-ish, but better than Van Gogh. What I really can't stand are his stupid color square paintings. Like the "weavers" in the emporer has no clothes story, he's tricked a lot of people into thinking that inane crap is profound.

Now, Lucy, in the movie Lucy, after her sudden massive overdose of CPH4 saw a tree like that but in her case she was seeing the flow of energies and how the tree was connected to all those energy flows around the tree.

Here you really see he is beginning to have an interest in simplicity and the basic elements of painting. Notice the almost exclusive use of the primary colors and black, with blue dominating. Also the almost complete lack of landscape. The tree fulls the composition with only a very slight hint of anything else. There aren't even any leaves. Just the heavy, thick skeletal frame of the trunk and branches.

Kobe was one of four cities hit by Doolittle's raiders, but I've never looked into what they targeted. Presumably Kawasaki shipyard (they still build subs here, alternating with Mitsubishi in Nagasaki, sort of like the US used to do with Electric Boat and Newport News for attack subs).
MacArthur's local branch of GCHQ was in one of the only buildings that survived the war (and the earthquake), now it's the Daimaru department store. Have long meant to check to see if there's any markers noting this. Had my second Kobe beef feast this trip. Seriously good s**t. Posted by: Rhomboid at November 16, 2018 09:49 AM (NyQaH) 95

Another tree by Mondrian, two years later.
https://tinyurl.com/y74ohl5d Posted by: Kris He begins to embrace cubism, in which he changed his style dramatically. That was the end of impressionism. Mondrian was a "late" impressionist. The cubism was really not very attractive. I've seen a lot of these paintings at the Orsay in Paris, and really, they are very attractive in person. They lose a lot when you see them on a computer screen. People make fun of "Starry Night" by van Gogh, but in person it is quite beautiful.

"This, too, is the story of Obama" Posted by Mary Poppin's piercing A lot of truth in that ... this link is a black-pilled video of a former KGB guy, discussing the infiltration/propaganda tactics used to destroy all enemies. BlackPill guy mixes in a lot of video of the current situation ... our own people and media acting against us, actually advocating communism.

I own the book The Path to Abstraction modrian 1892-1914 that was published for Kimball Art Museum exhibition from 2002. My favorite painting is called At the Stadhouderskade, Amsterdam (1898-1899) charcoal, watercolor and pastel on cardboard. The reproduction in the book is mediocre unfortunately. It is a simple painting of a boat dock -very beautiful. Hope to see the actual painting again some day. Posted by: Glenn John at November 16, 2018 10:04 AM (wvfPr) 141

https://tinyurl.com/y74ohl5d Posted by: Kris He begins to embrace cubism, in which he changed his style dramatically. That was the end of impressionism. Mondrian was a "late" impressionist. The cubism was really not very attractive. I've seen a lot of these paintings at the Orsay in Paris, and really, they are very attractive in person. They lose a lot when you see them on a computer screen. People make fun of "Starry Night" by van Gogh, but in person it is quite beautiful. Posted by: Bozo Conservative....living on the prison planet at November 16, 2018 09:54 AM (vcOmj) Cubism, love it or hate it, is one of the most important movements in art history. It completely changed how people thought about art. By the time Georges Braque developed his "bizarre cubiques", the innovations of Monet, Van Gogh and Matisse had run their courses. By rethinking some of Cezanne's ideas, Braque and Picasso had blown minds and redirected art's future.

That is why Brennan/Mueller are still out their and the coup is ongoing, and why Hillary had been untouchable. It is why BLM or Antifa have the support of cops and mayors, and why our borders are still mostly open. But those groups are probably also infiltrated (like TeaParty was over time, any org' calling out the warming baloney or Holder's gun running gets named conspiracy theory). And they insert the more crazy into these movements, carrying Nazi flags or other hate signs so the mSM can get their preferred photo-op or sound bite. Or as with Charlottesville, they stage manage both sides ... the support of the RE Lee statue became KKK, and alternatives to GOPe became Alt-right violent Nazi. They have the money and power to do all that... we have grass roots efforts, so Judicial Watch is doing the work of our justice department, as if our own DoJ or Special Counsel just can't figure out what cirmes Hillary committed.

I don't understand the Acosta thing. Aren't there any hard limits on what a judge can or cannot rule on if someone files suit?
Let's say you stopped inviting someone to your house because he behaved inappropriately one day, and the guy files suit and demands access to your house any time he wants. Can a sympathetic judge really grant him this right, and would you have to honor it while waiting to appeal? I can't believe that it is merely judges' "good behavior" that prevents them from making such rulings. There must be some meta-law. How can the WH be forced to grant an unruly person access to press conferences? It's ridiculous. Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at November 16, 2018 10:48 AM (/qEW2) 321

I did not have another drink before I went because the maniacs here were keen on me doing it, and the hilariousness of me getting tased and arrested and possibly sodomized....so I knew I shouldn't.

321 I don't understand the Acosta thing. Aren't there any hard limits on what a judge can or cannot rule on if someone files suit?
Let's say you stopped inviting someone to your house because he behaved inappropriately one day, and the guy files suit and demands access to your house any time he wants. Can a sympathetic judge really grant him this right, and would you have to honor it while waiting to appeal? I can't believe that it is merely judges' "good behavior" that prevents them from making such rulings. There must be some meta-law. How can the WH be forced to grant an unruly person access to press conferences? It's ridiculous.

Posted by: Nuland Goodleaf, Herbologist at November 16, 2018 11:01 AM (hrcfq) I don't know this for certain, but some of the morons on here were unhappy with the Gov lawyers arguments in court( there's a reason lawyers work for the government, I dare say a lot of them couldn't get a decent private law firm job because they are incompetent) . They needed to leave the argument about Acosta hitting the arm of the intern, instead needed to argue that the executive branch has exclusive authority to determine entrance and exit of individuals entering the WH due to security concerns. Levin knew exactly what Ted Olson would be arguing for CNN, and how it would be wrapped in the bill of rights, etc. Posted by: Jen the original at November 16, 2018 11:07 AM (lCdzT) 406

well, at least the judge gets his children back from the kidnappers?
Courts decide "orange man bad", overrules all executive authority? Even if the actual case is not decided yet, seems pretty crazy that courts can decide such things. WH argued they don't need to prove bad behavior, as with executive appointments or firings, they don't have to fire for cause, they serve at the will of the president. but I don't know details ... seems there was plenty of just cause against Acosta who aggressively insists on getting 10x as much time as other reporters.

Aren't there some things in which it's impossible for a judge to give an "injunction"? Areas outside of their sphere of decision making? Let's say I want to stop purchasing Folgers and start purchasing Taster's Choice. Can Folgers really file suit for an "injuction" against me making that decision and a judge grant it until the matter is adjudicated?
It seems there are spheres completely outside the judge's authority in which a judge has absolutely zero say, even to issue an injunction. I'd think the WH arbitrarily kicking out a nasty brat like Acosta would be one of them. Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at November 16, 2018 11:09 AM (/qEW2) 420

Goldman had a heck of an ear of dialog.
He was also good at story structure and creating conflict. Sometimes that comes off as artificial, execution matters, but he really codified what goes into a good story or screenplay. Donald Maas and Robert McKee both quote and borrow heavily from his screenplays and on his books on screenwriting.

I think he decided with Obama's election that if he wanted to continue the high profile administration legal gravy train, he needed to get on the one headed down the tracks.

I must have seen(despite trying to avoid local tv) 50 repeats of her commercial claiming Schuette "wanted to remove health care insurance for 450,000 working families in Michigan."
