Happy Kwanzaa! I will not be making Kwanzaa cards. Kwanzaa is both rather young (it was created in 1966) and thus lacking (this is not a criticism) in little trivia nuggets and historical facts that make for interesting cards, and really broad (it takes in elements from the First Fruits celebrations of many African tribes). So, to all those who read this and celebrate Kwanzaa, I wish you a very joyful and love-filled holiday.
It’s muralist time again. Did you miss it?
Today’s muralist is Eduard Buk Ulreich, who painted the three post office murals (as well as, other New Deal murals): History of Florida (Tallahassee, Florida) and Pony Express and Indians Watching Stagecoach in the Distance (Columbia, Missouri).
Examples of Ulreich’s work can be seen in the online galleries of Tate and Smithsonian American Art Museum.
