71 Mashkov Ilya,
Oil on canvas
208 x 270 [approx. 2 yards x 3 yards]

State Russian Museum
This work belongs to the early period of the history of the Russian avant-garde. It was unveiled at the Jack of Diamonds exhibition organised by a group of young artists led by Mikhail Larionov in the winter of 1910/11. Ilya Mashkov was one of the rebel artists who hoped to “rejuvenate” art with the help of phenomena previously excluded from the realms of high art – naïve and motley signboards, trays, wooden and plasticine toys and the aesthetics of fairground shows. This unusual picture, with its enormous dimensions and hypertrophied forms united by a dark contour, depicts two naked strongmen playing music surrounded by weights, dumb-bells and books – the Bible and monographs on Giotto and Cézanne (the idols of the young artists). Mashkov’s portrait was perceived as a manifesto of a new movement in art, intending to make viewers pause, look and think.

I'm guessing this is an attempt to portray well-balanced men of culture, refinement, and strength (seen and portrayed through the eyes of the artist, Ilya Mashkov.) Note the date of creation, 1910. Nicholas II was still the Tsar (monarch) of Russia. Completely different world.

121 Hunter Biden's hotshot lawyer has been accused of involvement in a 'brazen coverup' and 'far-reaching conspiracy' to violate court orders, hide documents, and encourage a witness to lie under oath. Attorney Abbe Lowell is accused in court documents filed last Friday of secretly working for Middle East nation Qatar in a scheme to conceal communications about an alleged computer hacking plot. It is another example of Lowell getting embroiled in allegations of shady dealings with foreign nations – after emails published by DailyMail.com earlier this year showed the Justice Department scrutinized his links with suspected Chinese spies.

347 Judge Jones, however, seemed to see the issue differently, as demonstrated by his query of whether former President Trump had solicited Clark’s opinion or whether Clark, in violation of Department of Justice protocols, had reached out to the president first. The mere posing of this question exposes how far afield this entire prosecution has become.

So, every local prosecutor can scrutinize the actions of every federal employee and charge them with local crimes.

There are a lot of characters and stories there were edited out of the movie script. I think a lot of the edits had to do with appeasing Frank Sinatra. The Johnny Fontane character is a major character in the book. He is a very modest character in the movie.
