News AnalysisIn the East China Sea, a Far Bigger Test of Power LoomsBy DAVID E. SANGER
In an era when the Obama administration has been focused on new
forms of conflict, the dangerous contest suddenly erupting in the East
China Sea seems almost a throwback to the Cold War.

This elegant soap opera about masters and their servants in the twilight of the British Empire was a shameless throwback to “Upstairs Downstairs” and “The Forsyte Saga.” Season 2 is in many ways as captivating and addictive as the first, but this time around, the series comes off as a shameless throwback to itself.

🔷Pablo Picasso said the ethnic primitivism evoked in him "to liberate an utterly original artistic style of compelling,even savage force”. Pablo Picasso viewed this Fang Ngil mask from Gabon in Paris in 1906 and after that,from 1906 to 1909, he worked extensively in a style strongly influenced by African sculpture.Its called Picasso's Afro period and his masterpice "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is the best example.
The Ngil mask originated from an agrarian/hunting group,Fang people in Gabon,Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon in Africa.They are crafted from wood,covered with a white clay,with an oval shape,elongated chin and nose.

American Primitive
Look at him there in his stovepipe hat,His high-top shoes, and his handsome collar;
Only my Daddy could look like that,
And I love my Daddy like he loves his Dollar.
The screen door bangs, and it sounds so funny--
There he is in a shower of gold;
His pockets are stuffed with folding money,
His lips are blue, and his hands feel cold.
He hangs in the hall by his black cravat,
The ladies faint, and the children holler:
Only my Daddy could look like that,
And I love my Daddy like he loves his Dollar.
William Jay Smith的這首詩用了領巾cravat
所以primitive 不是原始人
The cravat is a neckband, the forerunner of the
modern tailored necktie
and bow tie,
originating from 17th-century Croatia.[2]primitive
