The Murder of Hiram Kelley, ABF
Guy Benjamin Brookshire
I have never heard of Norman Rockwell. I don’t understand anything about art. But this picture shook me and caused a storm of emotions. It is called Breaking Home Ties, 1954
The boy is going to a Uni and wearing his best outfit; the Uni sticker is on his luggage, even his tie and his socks are the colours of the sticker. He is excited and impatient. The father - obviously a farmer, is sitting at the worn farm truck with a flag and a storm lamp, because their place is so small the train won’t normally stop there, so the father will need to “catch” the train and signal with the light and the flag for it to stop.
His son will never come back to the farm.
I think I understand why this picture sold at 15,4 million dollars in 2006.

GOOD MORNING. THIS IS AMAZING.
New street art found inspired by Carl Sagan. Two of my favorite things. This could only be better if this poster was being plastered to the side of a mountain by an elephant contemplating the ocean.
