The New Yorker - June 16th, 1986 by Susan Davis

[innervoiceartblog]

SUSAN DAVIS, 1948-1999 Art: "Birds and Forests" Susan Davis was a self-taught artist whose work included magazine and book illustration, formal oils, murals, detailed watercolors and highly evocative pastel drawings. Over the course of a career that spanned more than twenty-five years, Ms. Davis produced a broad and highly acclaimed body of work. Her June, 1998 retrospective exhibition was one of the most eagerly received and successful shows of its kind, and was held over through September due to the enormous response. Her mural commissioned for Porto Bello, an historic home in St. Marys County, Maryland, was featured in Architectural Digest. Her illustrations appeared regularly in The Washington Post, New Yorker, Yankee magazine, Washingtonian magazine, Museum & Arts, America Illustrated, Italian Elle magazine, among other magazines and books worldwide. She illustrated nine children’s books, including the best-selling The Dinosaur Who Lived in My Backyard, and The Party by Washington author Sally Quinn, books on dining, gardening and childrens’ activities for the Washington Post, as well as a number of other books. Some of the artist’s most recognizable work was done for the New Yorker, which began in 1983. Those covers are featured in two books, Seasons at the New Yorker and Covers of The New Yorker. The covers demonstrate the key themes of her work: landscapes, waterscapes, people at play, and an upbeat look at life. Her home at Tilghman Island on the Eastern Shore of Maryland was a source of inspiration for a number of the land and seascapes, and many of the still lifes. In 1993, Ms Davis was honored to execute the official Presidential Inauguration image for limited edition prints that were distributed throughout the world to officials, friends and colleagues, as well as posters for the national celebration. Ms Davis created Vice president and Mrs. Gore’s 1996 and 1997 Christmas cards and commemorative tiles, and produced invitations for the White House, Christmas cards for Governor and Mrs. Jay Rockefeller, and several invitations, a print and a 1997 commemorative Christmas medal/ornament for Maryland Governor and Mrs. Parris Glendening. Among the childrens books which she illustrated were Around My Town, Waiting for Mom, When Daddy Comes Home, My Brother Oscar Thinks he Knows It All, The Sick-In-Bed Birthday, The After-Christmas Tree, and her personal favorite, Birthday Moon. She illustrated two full-color books published by Houghton-Mifflin, The Fragrant Flowers Birthday Book and Feast of Flowers.

A splinter sheathed in cotton

Undertaking by Susan Davis She had to wash away the black silt worked into his pores, into the wrinkles around his eyes that made him look older than his 47 years. She walked his naked length on the table at her waist where she kneaded dough, where she told the men to place him. She had given them the children and made them all leave. She took her time. By lantern-light, she washed each finger, cleaning underneath the nail with a splinter sheathed in cotton. She started once to wrap him in a blanket. He was so cold. She found a mole on his hip she never knew was there. I thought he would have liked to have her find the mole like this when he was still alive. I said to you when the husband died, The way it's done now, they make her leave the room, leave the body with a stranger who zips it up in a plastic bag, tags it like a specimen, puts this warm sweet body in a drawer. They let a stranger handle you that one last time. They would have to drug me. They would have to drag me away. Remember how I told you that?

Trump’s NDAs for Federal Employees Would Hide Workplace Abuses

Opinion: President Donald Trump's proposed non-disclosure agreement for federal workers is a blatant attempt to conceal federal workplace ab

Nothing says “most transparent Administration EVER!!!!” like a nondisclosure agreement mandate.

Question for the Trumperoos out there (including the ones who survived his big, beautiful jabberoo):

If The Golden Golem Formerly From Gotham says you have to sign an NDA to keep your federal job, how is that any different from having to inject yourself with an experimental, gene-altering substance that was not put through any semblance of clinical trials to keep your job?

I will wait for the response.

Of course, he is all about man dates. Just ask Slick Willy how much Trump sucks.
