We visited a display of art by the Naval War Museum. The Thomas Benton they own, stood out. "Launching"was the name of the work. A Thomas Benton, is so stylized that anyone can spot it across the room, once they know his style. I loved it, it truly epitomized the war effort.
There were other oils, that were great, such as the recruiting work that the museum has from World War 1, that was used also in World War 2. The oils of the battles in World War 2, remind me of a swarm of bees in nature, trying to attack. All of nature is related when you think of it.
An interesting little aside, about human nature. A woman called a company to complain that she fell down., on their property and broke her wrist. When asked to provide information about her operation, resulting from the fall, she hung up, saying quickly, "I have decided not to have the operation." What prompts people to get so desparate, that they try to embzzle money under false pretenses, from large stores, or for that matter from others?
Even a joke about men that went around on the internet this week, was so critical of men, that I wondered how could any woman that passed this on, be happy with her husband. It was not even funny, it was just a whining, belittling piece of information, about the arrogance and utter studpidity of men. I for one can not believe that some of the women, whose husbands give them luxury life status, could even consider passing this along.
