American artist Jeff Donaldson’s title invokes Shango, a ruler of the Oyo empire and a major Yoruba spiritual figure associated with thunder, lightning, power, and justice. The three strong women represent his wives: Oshun, Oba, and Oya who fought beside him. Donaldson reimagines them in the language of Black pride and liberation in 1969. They are not distant mythic figures, but modern, self-possessed women whose beauty, dignity, and readiness suggest spiritual authority as well as political power. They connect Yoruba memory to Black self-determination during the Black Arts Movement, making the painting a vision of women as protectors, cultural anchors, and agents of resistance.

The three Black women stand close together, like a shared monument. Their skin is modeled in deep browns, amber, copper, and gold, and the watercolor surface flickers with warm oranges, reds, and yellows, making the whole composition feel radiant and heat-filled. All three wear natural Afro hairstyles that expand their silhouettes with pride and presence. The woman at left turns her face outward in profile, wearing a pink-orange dress, an ankh pendant, and a belt of bullets slung low across her hips. A long firearm hangs vertically beside her shoulder. The central figure wears white, a necklace of large beads, and a cross pendant. The woman in profile at right, in a yellow dress with patterned trim, holds an open fan. Donaldson presents them not as passive muses but as dignified, alert, and formidable women.

Painted just after Donaldson helped found AfriCOBRA in Chicago, the work reflects his commitment to a proudly Black, community-centered aesthetic that celebrated beauty, power, and African diasporic connection. Rather than placing women at the margins of revolution, he centers them as intellectual, spiritual, and political equals. The glowing palette intensifies the sense that these women feel iconic and almost sanctified like a vision of Black resilience and sovereignty.

As I write this on Saturday night, I have just finished this book, and I am pretty blown away. I now admit I should not have read this in a week. I should have read it as more of a meditation. It contains many extraordinary passages I should have lingered over much longer. But it had been highly recommended by several good friends, and I was curious, so I charged through. 

I must admit it wasn’t the book for me, though it is a nearly flawless work.

This is a book that starts out with a missing cat and goes on to plumb the darkest depths of the Japanese-Russian conflicts of WWII. It dances through the highs and lows of a marriage, and up and down the alleys of realities. I appreciated the quality of the writing, but as with the one other Murakami book I’d read (“Norwegian Wood”), I found it all to be a bit removed from feeling and passion. I am prepared to believe that is my own culture gap with the author’s style. 

“The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” has become a classic in literature. I’ll be looking at it more over this next week as I decompress from this reading.

The Hunger (1983)
franksfilmreview.com/2026/03/08/t...

Tony Scott’s 1983 debut, The Hunger, is a visual feast — every shot feels deliberate, every shadow and beam of light perfectly placed. The editing is sharp and hypnotic, pulling you into a world that’s both beautiful and deeply unsettling...

A group of women stride toward us along a glowing yellow street that tilts upward like a stage. Their bodies are elongated and angular, with sharp shoulders, tapering coats, and small black shoes that cut into the pavement like points. The central woman wears a deep green cloak and a wide black hat trimmed with pale yellow, her face long and pale, her eyes narrowed and unreadable. To the right, a figure in a lavender-gray coat leans forward with a cool, detached expression. To her left, a woman in saturated blue emerges from shadow, while two darker figures recede behind them in black and blue. Their faces are masklike rather than individualized, built from slashing planes of cream, peach, black, and tan. The street and buildings dissolve into jagged bands of acid yellow, green, and black, so the city feels unstable and rushing rather than fixed. The women appear elegant and highly visible, yet emotionally distant from one another and from us. Fashion, movement, and public display dominate the scene, but so do tension and unease.

This painting belongs to German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s celebrated Berlin street scenes, made after his move from Dresden to Berlin, where modern city life became one of his most urgent subjects. In these pictures, fashionable women in extravagant hats often stand for more than individual sitters: they become emblems of metropolitan spectacle, commerce, desire, and alienation. Here the women’s beauty is deliberately hard-edged. Their bodies are elegant but tense, their faces alluring yet sealed off, their closeness theatrical rather than intimate. Kirchner’s acidic color, compressed space, and blade-like contours transform the street into a psychological zone where attention itself feels dangerous. Rather than offering a comfortable scene of women in public, Kirchner shows a city built from performance, vigilance, and restless energy.

If you do anything today, take a few moments and see if you can hear the women's inner screams, then take another moment to imagine a world without women in it. #InternationalWomensDay
