Captured Ju 87 Stuka

I’m not thrilled about the subject but this is history. We tend to reject almost immediately the nazi symbol, just by seeing it, let’s remember that this is a captured aircraft

Very rare and authentic German Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber which is in excellent condition despite being shot down in the desert of Libya in 1941.

Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago.

    I liked this enough that I took the time to look through your work. It’s not something I do too often, as I have a truly bad tendency to be influenced by others work. (Back when I was a painter, you could always tell if I’d been looking at a Diebenkorn or Rivers, because everything I did for the next month or two would look like a Diebenkorn or Rivers.)

    While we aren’t exactly alike in terms of our approach, there seems to be a certain similarity as to what we’re groping towards . . . vignetting, texture and manipulating the medium rather than letting the medium have the final say.

    I’ll probably be copying your work for the next month. (I’m kidding . . . I’m going to be going back and ‘Shopping the “straight” work I’ve done and see what happens. I’m fairly close to having enough work for a one man show; not something I’ve done since the 1980s when, to my great detriment, I got involved in television and banality.)

    That being said, I enjoyed reading about you also. There’s an angst and passion there. The cult of personality isn’t high on my list of desirable things to be involved in, but it is interesting to see what motivates people to create. (Money isn’t high on that list, for me anyway. Not that I have anything against money.)

    As something of an aside, I love the Museum of Science and Industry; I haven’t been there in years, but, outside of the Albert and Victoria Museum and the Tate, it’s one of my favorite places to get lost in.

    I am studying to become a historian, and from my perspective there is nothing wrong with art or photograph dealing with the Nazi symbol. This was a very important time in world history, and cannot be swept under the rug…

    Same goes for displaying the Rebel Flag from during the American Civil War. That was possibly one of the most important eras of American History, a past that should not be forgotten.

    I applaud you efforts to remind us of the past, and look forward to seeing more of your artwork!

    Thank you James for such an encouraging comment, you are right and I agree with you, but that was the first reaction when people saw this piece.
    I’m glad you like it,

    OK, kind of off-subject, but the swastika has a history. However, if you can’t talk about it because of a need to not offend people, you get nowhere. That’s right up there with Bush refusing to talk to Cuba or Iran. “If I don’t talk to you, you don’t really exist and I don’t have to deal with you.”

    Ignoring things is a time-honored tradition; one which rarely works except for the people who want things to remain shadowed. (Uhm . . . Dick Cheney and Enron?)

    Talking about things gets the information out it into the agora and people have to deal with it. And maybe someone might come up with a better solution?
