Great efforts are being made to negotiate the release of a small group of hostages and to give them a safe and supportive transition back to their families and their societies. At the same time, thousands on both sides of the conflict have been killed. Babies’ lives are put in jeopardy by the war, and great effort is made to save them.
This is just one example—a terrible one—of the absurdity of human behavior. What makes any sense? Why are calls for peace drowned out? Why are these dramas of human hate and destruction repeated over and over again? It seems that rationality is just a thin skin covering the worst impulses of humanity.

About Me
- Gary
- I've taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for 30 years. My way to art was a bit out of the ordinary. BS, Tulane University in Mathematics and Chemistry, ready to start a dissertion in mathematics at U. of Notre Dame. Dropped out to teach at a small college in E.Kentucky. Then BS in fine art from U. of New Orleans and MFA, Drawing, U. of Cincinnati. So the study of art is less the basis of my art-making than a solid liberal arts approach to the world.
