Wonderful career (page needs some syntax cleaning.)
Ray Bluth: I emulated his bowling style as a youth for a short time after watching him on the tube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFNhr1mIPaE

Anita Malfatti

https://www.wikiart.org/en/anita-malfatti (Sorry couldn´t find the paints with the names in English)
I'm not a big fan of cubism (maybe a little fan). I like "Burrinho Correndo" and "Gladiolus" (Palmas de Santa Rita) and 'A Estudante Russa" the best... Her opus "A Boba" (The Idiot) not so much, perhaps because it is too irreverent. For the most part I would have expected a more vibrant color pallette... but maybe that's what set her apart. Still, quite a revolutionary in the Brasilian art scene.

Anita- At that time the Brazilian Modernists were enamoured with the most recent French artist trends: cubism, dadaism, surrealism. They managed however to give it the typical ironic or irreverent Brazilian twist which you spotted in "A Boba" (I think that´s the meaning of "Tupi or not tupi, that's the question"). That´s what I like about it.
MB-Very delicate paintings but I´d rather not comment on the husband of this lady
Berthe Morisot

re: MB... ditto husband. re: BM... also held back by society. Enjoyed her portfolio.
Mary Sidney... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...sidney-herbert
Mary Sidney-"she stretched the boundaries of what was possible for a woman and became a role model for seventeenth-century women writers"- Very interesting indeed. Had never heard of her before.

Love "Ode to Joy". re: AA - so accomplished and did not reach his 50th birthday. re: Mahler's "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXVDmBmk1ss - interesting composition from a collection of popular folk poems... though curious about your note "(only video I found with translation to English)"... Perhaps a link copied after the previous piece finished ? Also went to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Mahler for further background... fascinating.
Amir Khusrow... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_Khusrow
AA- It´s the same link. It´s long, I was actually looking for something shorter. But there is Mahler´s musik too!

Kurosawa- I think the whole film is in the internet for free now. Dersu Uzala is very lyrical too.
Ishiguro- I like him. I read A Pale View of Hills and The Remains of the Day

Steve Martin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Martin
It took me a while to warm up to Steve Martin's brand of humor... I remain lukewarm. I liked him in "The Big Year" which I've caught on the telly a few times, but have yet bothered to go to the theater to watch one of his films. I've enjoyed his banjo virtuoso the few times I've caught him on the telly.

SM-I´m not so fond of him either. Anyway he is from California

I've heard of "A Taste of Honey" but have never seen/read. She looks a bit like an older Jeanne D'Arc from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure".

Alexandre Dumas... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Dumas
Me too, and Thank you... re: RF - Wonderful poem. re: DP - incredible wit and interesting use of the vernacular. Quite the woman about town. My pen's name is Parker and is of the feminine vein, though not named after Dorothy (rather the manufacturer)

Louis Aragon

A small selection:http://poetsofmodernity.xyz/POMBR/Fr...r_Toc281664420
Beautiful: "For an instant it seemed/I heard in field and stream/Rumours of war, unclear,/Whence came that deep grief/Neither pink nor rosemary/Had retained the scent of tears."
André Malraux... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Malraux
I totally disagree with this quote attributed to Malraux: "Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures."
