Howard Hawks (30 May 1896 - 26 December 1977)

For the 125th anniversary of Howard Hawks' birth a few frames from what he said was his favorite of his films: Scarface (1932). Good choice.

Seven Non-Objective Tondos

POPOVA
MALEVICH
RODCHENKO
DOVE
DE KOONING
HOFMANN
  HARTIGAN

Seven recent non-objective paintings, acrylic, pencil and gesso on corrugated cardboard rounds, eleven inches diameter: Popova, Malevich, Rodchenko, Dove, de Kooning, Hofmann, Hartigan. Each one named for an abstract painter I admire, none of them a copy of their work nor an attempt to imitate their style.

Zenzai J

He appears to be Thai and Burmese, married and a father of two.  He also, judging by the photos, is employed in an orchard.  Our beautiful young man from the South East Asian jungle is a Farmer.
