Steve Mumford's "Dying Soldier" 2009 oil on linen.
After witnessing war first hand, an artist’s depiction never resembles Rambo or the animated Xbox games like “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″ or any other fictional account of war. It is almost always a portrait of people thinking they are doing the right thing, killing or dying because someone has asked them to....
King Tutankhamun’s San Francisco revisit is coming to an end. First seen in 1979, the boy king returned to the de Young Museum in a brand new exhibit featuring 130 pieces – jewelry, statues, masks, gold objects and of course that famous golden sarcophagus.

“The special loan of Orazio Gentileschi’s The Lute...
I am most likely the last person to see this movie and seeing it last night moved me. The story was so familiar to me, as if it were a story about my neighborhood, friends and the strain of transforming yourself from a kid to an adult.
What grabbed me most was the feeling of being trapped in what is most comfortable, sometimes called the box we are born into. I believe this was Dito Montiel first time...
