The snow kind of confused the pup. He loved it once he starting moving around. #goldendoodle #dogs

Visited Charlotte’s Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. There were a few exhibits that caught my attention, but this was the best one.
HANSJÜRG
BRUNNER THE TRIAL
This exhibition presents The Trial (Der Prozess) (1963-64), a portfolio of linocut prints by Swiss artist Hansjürg Brunner (1933-1998), created as illustrations for Franz Kafka's 1914-15 novel of the same name (published posthumously in 1925). In Kafka's narrative, a man is arrested and prosecuted by an unidentified authority for an unspecified crime, without any explanation or due process. Brunner's sharply carved figures, bold lines, and compressed spaces capture the psychological intensity and disorienting atmosphere of Kafka's story, heightening the sense of alienation and the struggle for personal agency that is central to the author's text.
The forty-five prints that comprise Brunner's series reflect his enduring interest in literature, social critique, and the human condition, translating Kafka's words into a disquieting visual language. Linking two distinct periods of political tumult, the stark contrasts and dynamic compositions of Brunner's linocuts recall both the expressionist printmaking that flourished in the early decades of the twentieth century and the cultural climate of postwar Europe in which he worked.
This presentation offers a rare opportunity to view The Trial portfolio in its entirety, a striking meditation on authority and justice that remains as resonant today as during Kafka's and Brunner's lifetimes.

Great Sunday morning on the course, got teamed up with a random, cigar smoking 67 year old and it turned out to be the most enjoyable round in a while. #golf #golfing #SunsetHillsGolfCourse #Charlotte #NC
It’s been a while since I posted the pup; this was taken a few weeks ago by a friend while we watched our kids play soccer.
Photo of my spouse and I from earlier this year at one of her work functions. Love this pic!
Monument to Francesco Simonetta, Verbania, Italy and a cute little store front located within the same square.
