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.
Art, propaganda and pornography presented by the artist sometimes known as Arte Barrato (even misspelled as it is here,) some of it his own work and most of it stuff he appreciates and chooses to elucidate and honor.

Seven Non-Objective Tondos
POPOVA
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.

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.
