Rebel

“The chair draped with an overcoat sits

in the east, the sun is its head

it opens a cloud and says:

here is the end of history

the gods have abdicated, the temples are locked

you are nothing but

a pictograph that’s lost its sound”

 

Over a year ago I made a short comic based on the Poem “Rebel” by Bei Dao. You can learn more about him and read his poems at:

“The shadow that tries to please the light

leads me to pass between

the aspen that had drunk milk

and the fox that has drunk blood

like a treaty passing between

peace and conspiracy”

Charles Harry Eaton

I made a master copy of a Charles Harry Eaton painting. The first time I saw one of his paintings was at The Detroit Institute of Art, which has his famous painting of water lilies. The copy I made later became a present for my mother and was made into a puzzle.

 

Charles Harry Eaton (1850-1901)

“Inspired by the Barbizon style of painting and devoted to the Detroit landscape for much of his career, Charles Harry Eaton was largely a self-taught artist who determinedly earned himself a national reputation. Raised in Akron, Ohio, Eaton moved to Detroit in 1867 and studied briefly under John Mix Stanley. The years of 1878 to 1880 found him momentarily in Holly, Michigan, followed by two years in Chicago, and nearly ten years in New York City. During the 1890s, the artist finally settled in Leonia, New Jersey, where he remained for the rest of his career.”
