How much of my brain is wilfully my own? How much is not a rubber stamp of what I have read and heard and lived?

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I loved — I loved alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that ‘round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —
Alone - Edgar Allen Poe

Little Miss Sunshine, 2006
“Grandpa, I don’t want to be a loser.”
“You’re not a loser. You know what a loser is? A real loser is somebody that’s so afraid of not winning, they don’t even try. Now, you’re trying, right?”

Modern Paintings of a 18th-Century Dinner Party
Dead Meat, the title of Irish artist Conor Harrington’s most recent show, opened at Lazarides Gallery in London and ran through April 2012. In the 8-large scale paintings and 24 smaller studies, dubbed Morning Glories, Harrington “presents scenes from a sumptuous 18th-century dinner party, the height of Europe’s power and draws comparisons with contemporary society.” The work is different from his overtly masculine earlier work, this time focusing on an investigation of powerful men within serene settings.
The artist chose to combine classic oil paints mixed with contemporary graffiti art because he said, “I’m interested in the dynamics between opposing elements.” This clash is evident in his subjects as well: “Subtly reworking historical narratives and replacing ethnicities, ‘Mary’ is displayed as a young topless black woman, the offerings from the ‘Three Wise Men’ lifeless birds and flesh the gift: death is at the centre of glory and finery.”
