“#Coffee is art. It’s #art that you make. But also, with #coffee, it’s #art that you can fake? Turns out you can. Well maybe not you specifically, but a network of forgers, who figured out a way to use #coffee and #tea to fake works of #art from renown #artists like #Picasso, Edvard #Munch, and Paul #Klee”

Today in Writing History July 5, 1889: Surrealist write and film maker, Jean Cocteau, was born. He was most famous for his films, particularly “Orpheus,” based on his screenplay, as wells as “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Blood of a Poet.” And he wrote the libretto for Stravinsky’s “Oedipus Rex.” However, he was also a great writer of fiction and poetry, too. His novel, “The White Book,” (1927) was a homoerotic, semi-biographical tale. He also wrote “Les Enfants Terribles” (1929). And he collaborated with Pablo Picasso and Erik Satie to produce the ballet, “Parade.”

Do you know what to draw? Pablo Picasso said: “To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing.” In other words, just start!

In Euskadi (Basque country), solidarity with Palestine is super high. Saw Palestinian flags and solidarity graffiti everywhere, in working class neighborhoods, as well as many of the tourist hot spots. Sometimes the majority of windows in a single apartment complex displayed Palestinian flags.

This should come as no surprise in light of the history of colonialism and oppression of the Basque people by the Spanish state, in general. And, in particular, the mass slaughter of Basque civilians in Guernika on April 26, 1937 by Hitler's Condor Legion, in support of Spanish Fascist leader Francisco Franco.

This can be seen in the accompanying mural, which includes the portion of Picasso's famous Guernica painting depicting a grieving woman holding her dead child, reminiscent of so many of the horrifying images we are seeing coming out of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
