Richard Kurtz's Boxers
If you missed the boat with Basquiat consider an original boxer painting by artist Richard Kurtz.
I came across Richard Kurtz's "Boxer" images this past weekend in NYC (at AAF, Buenos Aires Open Art {www.HoyArteHoy.com.ar}). His crudely painted art has many of the same elements that make a Jean-Michael Basquiat a "Basquiat" and yet these boxer images, which dominate his work, are uniquely his own. Kurtz's works are painted on found objects and go from credit card sized, 2" x 3"; to paintings on found book pages; up to larger pieces painted on discarded wooden boards.
Kurtz, who now lives in New Mexico, is an expatriated New Yorker. I was expecting to find a young black man when I did the research for this article - instead I found the artist to be a mid-career, white, rock and roll musician type. No matter, Kurtz has the soul of a young black man, working within the war society has assigned to him, fighting the good fight, taking punches and delivering them.

FOOD
Dr. Fuhrmans Green Longevity Drink
Made in a Vita Mix Blender
Made in a Vita Mix Blender
It's a blended salad, a combination of raw, leafy greens and whole foods blended into a creamy consistency. When we simply chew a salad, about 70 to 90 percent of the plant cells are not broken open. As a result, most of the valuable nutrients contained within those cells never enter our bloodstream. So, while Fuhrman still likes chewed salads, he thinks blended salads are a better way to maximize the intake of those nutrients.
Fuhrman suggests drinking two glasses of his Longevity Drink daily.
Ingredients:
1 large head romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups spinach
2 sprigs parsley
