When Hollywood Photography Is An Imitation Of Art


As an artist and a writer since my childhood as an art prodigy, I have been fascinated by the artistry and imagery in the geometry and symmetry of creation I always see on earth. National Geographic has captured some of the most spectacular images of the earth; people, places, events, etc.

I have seen the best of naturalism and impressionism in Art Histry before I chose impressionism and had the opportunity to be exhibited internationally in Japan when I was only 20 and had my illustrations used by Johns Hopkins University's Communication Center when I was 21 and 1 million copies of my life drawings for family planning booklets were distributed all over Nigeria in Pidgin English, Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa languages and I also produced more for PATH in Seattle, Washington, when I was 22 and produced more on nomadic education for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) when I was 26 after working as a UNICEF program consultant at 25 and curated the first ever Arts Against AIDS national exhibitions at the National Museum and National Theatre in Lagos when I was 30. I had a solo exhibition hosted by the Nigerian Queen of Models Yemi Fawaz in 1994 before I abandoned Art to concentrate my genius on Literature, drama and TV/Film productions.

My interest in Fine Art was rekindled recently when I saw the photographs of Hollywood divas Scarlett Johansson, Kiera Knightley and Miley Cyrus Unclad poses and was struck by their imitation of classical nude paintings.

I have been awed by the Vanity Fair magazine cover photograph of Scarlett Johansson and Kiera Knightley posing for designer Tom Ford, because it could pass for a masterpiece of classical nude paintings of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July 15, 1606 ?October 4, 1669). Like Rembrandt’s Andromeda, Susanna, Diana and her Nymphs, Danaë, Bathsheba and others. In fact, the semi semi nude photograph of Miley Cyrus is a complete imitation of classical painting.

I can post the photograph of Miley Cyrus here, but that of the my muses Scarlett Johansson and Kiera Knightley in the nude cannot be posted here. You can see it and the video on classical nude paintings on

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people. Puerto Rican nationalist group...

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

Image
A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
