I’m feeling emotional about Ezra Jack Keats tonight. Guys his dad was worried about him and yet he supported him and brought him supplies. He died two days before a ceremony to give his son an award.
And Ezra made so many good books! He made good art! His dad didn’t want him to have a hard life, but he still brought home paint for him. He still kept his son’s achievements in his wallet. He loved him. Guys he loved him.
IDs:
image one- a screenshot of the Wikipedia article for Ezra Jack Keats. The text shows part of the bibliography tab. Some text is underlined in green. It reads:
“Jack Keats was born Jacob Ezra Katz on March 11, 1916, in East New York, Brooklyn, the third child of Polish-Jewish immigrants Benjamin Katz and Augusta Podgainy. The family was very poor. Jack, as he was known, was artistic from an early age, and joyfully made pictures out of whatever scraps of wood, cloth and paper that he could collect. Benjamin Katz, who worked as a waiter, tried to discourage his son, insisting that artists lived terrible, impoverished lives. Nevertheless, he sometimes brought home tubes of paint, claiming, "A starving artist swapped this for a bowl of soup."(4)
With little encouragement at home, Keats sought validation for his skills at school and learned about art at the public library. He received a medal for drawing on graduating from Junior High School 149. Although unimpressive-looking, the medal meant a great deal to him, and he kept it his entire life (5) Keats attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where he won a national contest run by Scholastic for an oil painting depicting hobos warming themselves around a fire. '5) At his graduation, in January 1935, he was to receive the senior class medal for excellence in art. Two days before the ceremony, Benjamin Katz died in the street of a heart attack. When Keats identified his father's body, he later wrote, "I found myself staring deep into his secret feelings. There in his wallet were worn and tattered newspaper clippings of the notices of the awards I had won. My silent admirer and supplier, he had been torn between his dread of my leading a life of hardship and his real pride in my work. (7)
His father's death curtailed his dream of attending art school. For the remainder of the Great Depression until he was drafted for military service in World War 1l, Keats took art classes when he could and worked at a number of jobs, most notably as a mural painter under the New Deal program the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and as a comic book illustrator. At Fawcett Publications, he illustrated backgrounds for the Captain Marvel comic strip. He spent his military service (1943-45) designing camouflage patterns for the U.S. Army Air Force. In 1947, he petitioned to legally change his name to Ezra Jack Keats, in reaction to the anti-Semitic prejudice of the time.
Keats spent most of 1949 painting and studying in Paris, realizing a long-deferred dream of working as an artist. After returning to New York, he focused on earning a living as a commercial artist, undoubtedly influenced by his father's anxieties. His illustrations began to appear in Reader's Digest, The New York Times Book Review, Collier's and Playboy, and on the jackets of popular books. His work was displayed in Fifth Avenue store windows, and the Associated American Artists Gallery, in New York City, gave him exhibitions in 1950 and 1954.
In his unpublished autobiography, Keats wrote, "I didn't even ask to get into children's
books." In fact, he was asked to do so by Elizabeth Riley of Crowell, which brought out…”
From this, the passages
“Benjamin Katz, who worked as a waiter, tried to discourage his son, insisting that artists lived terrible, impoverished lives. Nevertheless, he sometimes brought home tubes of paint, claiming, "A starving artist swapped this for a bowl of soup"”
and
“Benjamin Katz died in the street of a heart attack. When Keats identified his father's body, he later wrote, "I found myself staring deep into his secret feelings. There in his wallet were worn and tattered newspaper clippings of the notices of the awards I had won. My silent admirer and supplier, he had been torn between his dread of my leading a life of hardship and his real pride in my work."”
are underlined in green.

The Young Gods Play Terry Riley In C - (!!!)
The Young Gods are publishing a new record with Two Gentlemen, ‘Play Terry Riley In C’. Needless to say this is a fertile meeting between two monuments who have helped shape the cutting-edge music of the last few decades. Terry Riley, born in 1935, is the cornerstone on which a considerable number of artists have relied to liberate their relationship to the process and methods of creation. In the same way, The Young Gods revolutionised, from the second half of the 1980s, their relationship with rock music by converting guitars into samplers. The dialogue between these two pioneers underpins a particularly fiery record.

Fwd: C.A. Duerksen in California: while he was going about his business with routine visits to see his sister Marie Duerksen at San Quentin Women's Prison in Las Palamas, Ca and this prison closed it's doors in 1935-36, this business of C.A. ( Cornelius Arthur ) Duerksen included mining on James Harrison ford's ranch not far from Las Palamas where James had pig sales and a farm and ranch supply company that also sold some household goods. Anyway, C.A. noted an unusual geological structure on Jame's land and moved it with permission and insight from Jame's whom wore a go-to and looked like buffalo bill somewhat. James Ford had baby auctions one s month or so. He would search for baby's he thought would sell for his auctions. One baby he bought from a Nun, Sister Crissy Ann DeSousa DeMentos he named Pig Riley Ethridge Gilbert James Harrison Ford which he cared for out at his ranch house where lived his twenty daughters by three or more wives and a son, age five or so, Harrison Phi
