The King of Realism ...

Ron Mueck is an Australian artist who has no formal training in fine Arts.Before becoming a fine artist he worked for twenty years in children's television, motion picture special effects, and advertising. He now lives and works in London.His work is quite fascinating.I am sure that his ultrarealism produces staggering hits of wowie-zowieness

Newsweek critic Peter Plagens lauded Mueck as "the best thing to happen to figurative sculpture in ... generations." Topping that, a cover story for Modern Painters raved that Mueck was "the equal of Vermeer." Others aren't as enamored. Critics have branded him "a one-hit wonder" or snobbishly dismissed him as a "model maker." One naysayer told me, "He's a phenomenon that should be cut off at the knees." Another decried his work as "a cheap shot." But is Mueck that different from his British cohorts who also deal with hyperrealism?

Even though there may be nothing more flavorless or enervating than sheer mimicry, for better and for worse, realism is what this generation of British artists excels at.

What is she going to learn from broke? It’s not like she was a spendthrift before....

When the laughter drained, more quickly than either of them were now prepared for , along silence ensured, a silence that refused to be broken, that paralyzed both of them even as it insisted that something be done ….
You never get to have what you had…. Things change whether u want them or not….. You kind of forced them … You decided you wanted something ,and, like always------

Never mind about everything .Lets go back to where we were.. But she knows-knows it because she does love him that much- that it cannot be so easy yet......

these had taken the form of crimes of the tongue , or crimes of silence-things said or left unsaid –and perhaps words lose their force, just dry up and blow away after a certain amount of time, or alter their characters, changing from arrows and slights to dust bunnies of other things-one persons hearts desire refused to him or her , yet freely, even carelessly, given to another - perhaps time turns these to memories and than to words , and these, too , are
