Back to bronze Amy Winehouse is totally stoned. Sort of. The Yada Blog favorite has been represented in two pieces of art at this year's Royal Society of British Artists exhibition, one a bronze sculpture by called Excess, and the other a piece called Celebrity 1. From jewtastic.com:
In Excess, Winehouse is shown in a statue crated [sic] by Guy Portelli which is said to be a comment on “contemporary living, youth culture and values.”
Portelli, who says he is a “huge fan” of Winehouse commented: “I think she is a great talent. I would never make a sculpture of someone I didn’t respect.”
Amy as art? It's about time. Where's Andy Warhol when you need him?
"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. ... As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." -- Albert Einstein, in a recently auctioned letter to Eric Gutkind. I don't know what makes him so special.
