Gabriel's new album demonstrates that neither So nor Passion was a momentary detour. Gabriel doesn't tell political stories or paint psychological portraits these days. Instead, he explores relationships almost exclusively--Gabriel dedicates the album to his parents, to his ex-wife, to his children and to former girlfriend Rosanna Arquette--and he accompanies his musings with a combination of world beat, rock and synthesizer-driven...
Last month autoworkers got their first good news in years, when GM announced plans to build a $155 million paint facility at its Moraine assembly plant. But the real key to Montgomery's economic endurance is the nearby Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, the largest in the nation, with 28,000 employees and a payroll of $968 million a year. As part of its post-cold war consolidation, the Pentagon in July officially merged the Air Force Systems Command and the Logistics Command into a new Air Force Material Command, headquartered at Wright-Patterson...
...remember. Andrew proved a most powerful, if petulant, child, rampaging across the Bahamas and the populous tip of southern Florida and into Louisiana's Cajun country, with strength enough to hoist trucks atop buildings, destroy houses and vaporize mobile homes, impale yachts on pier pilings and even strip paint off walls. With winds up to 164 m.p.h., Andrew proved more expensive than Hugo, which ripped through the Carolinas in 1989, and more destructive than any of the recent California earthquakes -- in sum, the costliest natural disaster in American history...
This was the key problem of Johnson's last years. He and Krake fled Scandinavia before the Nazi advance. They arrived in New York in 1938. Johnson applied for a grant to revisit the scenes of his childhood to "paint Negro people," as he put it, "in their natural environment," meaning by "natural" the rural South. The money didn't appear, but he painted the pictures anyway without leaving Manhattan. For the next seven years of his life, Johnson worked in a style that oscillated between folk art and caricature. On the whole, his images of life and manners...
...from the work of Stuart Davis and Lyonel Feininger as well; several of his images of black Southern life from the early '40s have a wonderful amplitude and strictness of construction that hold their vivid colors together with a sort of consuming, sad energy. They are the blues, in paint. Everything seems right about the pattern of Sowing (circa 1940): the fierce orange and yellow stripes, the eccentric placement and displacement of shape, the not quite naive use of repetition and rhyme, even the comic-strip blue cabin and the Looney Tunes mule. And The Breakdown (circa 1940-41), showing...
