Goergy Dmitrievich Lavrov was born in Siberia in 1895. Studied at Moscow College. Contributed to the Third Exhibition of Paintings by Artists from Kaluga and Moscow held in Kaluga in 1925 and exhibited at the Paris Salons. In 1927, he was sent to Paris on the recommendation of Lunacharsky where he sculpted many of the luminaries of the time including Anna Pavlova, and in 1932 had a one-man show. Skeptical of the reports of oppression in Russia that reached him in Paris, he returned home only to be arrested in 1938, accused of participating in an attempt on Stalin's life. Condemned to five years hard labor, he was subsequently subject to internal exile and was rehabilitated only in 1954. Died in 1991.

The Paper, now separated from itself, the visions behind the halves move far away, the words for thoughts vanish like the thoughts themselves, and unsupported, the thin textures fall into the ink of being, and crumbled, become a black, fibrous mass of what may have been. The edge has severed two likenesses from one, and nothing remains of either but this clumping memory.                                  Dust to Dusk by Sampson-Carroll

Spectacular Spectacular

  yesterday was so splendid.....i listened to the chattering of plump yard birds as bunnie played in the bamboo clippings, bernie kraus nature sounds and the fountains splashing......chocolate covered coffee beans, curried dark chocolate bars, a flawless chocolate ganash from the aetherial kitchens of Alon's Bakery set my mind in such a pleasant state of mind.....then visits of friends, culminating in masaman curried shortribs, a fatty pleasure, it's creamy, rich gravy adding sensuousness to nutty, sticky rice with a hint of jasmine and cilantro......accompanied by thai basil rolls, dipped in the extreme of chili oil infused with unidentifiable fragrant essenses and crushed peanuts, a hint of fresh lemon and a touch of sourwood honey and fresh rosemary......then chocolate mousse with raspberries, and candied seville orange peels, dipped in Alessio Tessieri chocolate , cooled in a vapor of pear essence and cleansed from the palate with courvesoir and expresso.......a...
