“The music is played with the heart and is felt with the soul”
This is a picture of a brazilian kid who was part of the “cultural group of reggae”, playing his instrument in the funeral of his mentor who saved him from an environment of poverty and crime. He was rescued from the street.

Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought.
Why do you stay in prison?
When the door is so wide open?

Cecily Brown, Skulldiver III (Flightmask), 2006
From the Boston Museum of Fine Arts:
Cecily Brown’s study of painting was a rebellious move during a time when installation art and the deconstruction of the object were in vogue in 1990s London. Her passion for the medium of painting has resulted in grand and ambitious canvases revealing her respect for and inspiration from the history of art. From Goya, Poussin and Hogarth to the gestural abstraction the mid-twentieth century, especially de Kooning and Francis Bacon, Brown studies and willingly excavates the past while reinvigorating 21st century painting. The figure and human flesh are of keen interest to the artist who has brought a female perspective to the depiction of the naked figure, creating erotic canvases and painting unashamedly luscious surfaces.
