"The Shape of Content", Ben Shahn
"Art has roots in real life. Art may affirm its life-giving soil or repudiate it wholly. It may mock as bitterly as did Goya (...). Art may luxuriate in life positively and affirmatively with Renoir, or Matisse, or Rubens, or Vermeer. It may turn to the nebulous horizons of sense-experience with the Post-Impressionists, the Cubists, the various ( Read more... ) -
El tiempo pasa cuando es otoño en Buenos Aires
No me gusta el frío pero este otoño me enternece. Las hojas de algunos árboles sangran en distintos tonos, pero también vi otras de color del mango, verde y naranja. Mañana quizá ya sangrarán ellas también. ¿Cómo frenar el tiempo? ¿Y si agarro una, la meto en un frasco de vidrio, quedará roja? ¿Quedará inmune al paso del tiempo, mi pequeña hoja ( Read more... ) -

When travelling on long flights/rides, what do you like to listen to?
I'm going on a 36-hour bus trip to Brazil so I need music. I usually like mellow and slow, the kind of music that makes you reflect on your life while staring out at the window, and I desperately need recs, unless I want to be stuck listening to the Jonas Brothers. -

My school's library is the biggest fraud in the face of the Earth, and obviously, I've made this obvious to the Student Council this past week. The response we got from the headmistress was that us students should hand her a list of books to buy to complete the library. As I am practically the only one involved, I've been sort of handed the task, ( Read more... ) -
