Luminous Hockneys

Britain’s finest contemporary artist.

One of the most memorable exhibitions I attended in recent years with my son was the Hockney show in San Francisco’s DeYoung Museum. The show highlighted the artist’s iPad and iPhone works, and they were a delight to see.



Hockney’s latest.

Now, by way of relief to the horrors the world is experiencing right now, this modern master had released a new series of spring paintings from his home in Normandy. Enjoy.

No eggs

Or toilet paper.

This is the scene which confronted Moscow shoppers for much of the 20th century when visiting their local supermarket. Except that it was snapped yesterday in the Safeway in north Scottsdale, one of America’s wealthiest communities:



An ever optimistic Winston stocks up.

To quote from Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove” of 1964:

General Turgidson: Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more
concerned with the American People than with your image in the history books.

An American walked on the moon 50 years ago. Today he could not buy eggs or toilet paper in his local grocery store.
