Today, I will combine my feature art movement with Friday Face Off. The art movement will be SOCIAL REALISM. And for the face-off. The work is of DIEGO RIVERA. (Portrait of the Young Girl Elenita Carrillo Flores – 1952 – Private Collection)
I got my car. It’s strange how they forgot about me. I guess there is a first time for everything. I have no desire to change the garage. They had a local lube place here. Some of their workers want to discuss political crap with you. One such worker. Brought up his political ideals and such. Here is one of them. During the pandemic, if you got hit by a car and killed. On your death certificate, they would put that you died from “Covid.” I’m sure not everyone wants or needs to hear about my liberal point of view. Mennonites own the garage. They don’t want to talk politics or try to save your soul. ( The Organization Of Agrarian Movement – 1926 – Located at CHAPINGO MEXICO)
I had lunch at the senior center. They stuffed peppers. I like stuffing peppers. They did it with shredded beef. I’ve always made it with ground meat. Plus, there was a food giveaway.
I ran down to the library to make an appointment to have their techie person help me set up my new phone. (History of Mexico – 1929 to 1935 – Located at NATIONAL PLACE OF MEXICO)
Someone told me that Poet passed out during Bingo. They called an ambulance for her. She has past out there before. As I understand, her blood pressure was on the low side. No one knows how she is doing. (Portrait of Ruth Rivera – 1949 – Private Collection)
Read some in my book and do general housework.
I like stuffed peppers too, we had some last week. I hope Poet is okay.
ReplyDeleteOh, bet your stuffed peppers was yummy.
DeleteHow scary. Passing out is never a good thing.
ReplyDeleteNo it isn't
DeleteI love seeing these Diego Rivera paintings as I don't know them. The last one is really lovely. And I like stuffed peppers too, but like you I always make them with ground beef. Have a super weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese Painting of Diego aren't the well known ones.
DeleteStuffed peppers sound good
ReplyDeleteThey were.
Delete...Rivera is among art royalty!
ReplyDeleteNot question about it.
DeleteI have never tried stuffed peppers, I think they are too fiddly to make often, but if they are at a restaurant I might try one.
ReplyDeletePoet should be on medication for her blood pressure, but she also needs to remember to take it.
She has some weird mental issues.
DeleteWell I hope Poet is doing better. That is scary. OMG! with workers wanting to talk BS politics. Even my SIL and brother are so far out there with conspiracy theories that we have made a rule no politics at all. I love the art today. You always choose such beauty. Thank you for joining FFO.
ReplyDeleteGenerally it best not to cover these subject, money, sex, politics, or religions.
DeleteI am sure that story about a death certificate saying you died from Covid if you were killed in a car accident is nonsense. Anyone who put such a lie on a legal document could and should face serious consequences.
ReplyDeleteI never though about consequences.
DeleteThat Covid thing is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI agree, fully.
DeletePoor Poet. Hope she is ok now.
ReplyDeleteI text her this morning.
DeleteI hate getting into politics. Well, I will when I must because sometimes I get so frustrated I can't help it! But really, that's too much. (It's why I avoid Rick's brother.) But oh, Diego Rivera. I posted ages ago about his murals at Detroit Institute of Arts -- that was my first "first-hand" viewing experience of him. This is really wonderful. Sending all good wishes to Poet.
ReplyDeleteI saw both Diego and Frida at Mona in San Francisco.
DeleteThey are so indoctrinated they will believe anything, no matter how ridiculous it is. I like the art and I like stuffed peppers.
ReplyDeleteYes, it quite ridiculous.
DeleteDiego Rivera is an interesting choice
ReplyDeleteI read, and watch you tube on his wife. Not that much on her husband Diego.
DeleteI like the art you've shared...
ReplyDeleteStuffed peppers are tasty...
All the best Jan
I also like stuff cabbage.
DeleteI don't also doubt it true.
ReplyDeleteYes, died of Covid, same joke around the world, or probably true...
ReplyDeleteAmazing, the things that some people believe. I believe I first heard of Diego Rivera on a PBS History Detectives episode. I like his social realism style of art. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
