This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.

Reading Sam Lansky’s memoir The Gilded Razor and Broken People and this is very appropriate quote you quote. thanks.
I haven’t as yet read Sam Lansky’s memoir. Thomas Mann fathered six children in symmetrical pairs—girl-boy, boy-girl, girl-boy—between 1905 and 1919. His three oldest children—Erika, Klaus and Golo—were gay; Klaus and Michael, the youngest, committed suicide. Klaus enjoyed the advantages of his father’s culture, but found it difficult to free himself from his father and establish an independent identity. Thomas Mann had had homosexual affairs before marrying Katia Pringsheim, and afterwards still had powerful, though repressed, yearnings for young men.
