Blood, Sweat, and Tears perhaps.

Somewhat related… In 2018 I met Frank Hursh. A wonderful abstract artist, he had just turned 90, and has lived and worked most of the last 65 years+ in Mexico. Mr. Hursh attended Black Mountain College, an avante-garde place (near Asheville, NC — 1933-57) from 1949-50. Mr. Hursh went to...
