Nik had wanted to gift his marble carvings to @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS ❤️ I wanted Nik to meet the Man who predicted Donald Trump would win in 2016 and 2020 . Jack? has suspended Nik’s sons account @rafaelshmatko Hard to get word out 😢
@dagenmcdowell I have to report my dismay at the systematic dismantling of Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. It was a most majestic living museum of fine art. Sculpture, Art, is not about just the Good. It is often in Overcoming the Bad.
Gates of Hell by Rodin comes to mind.

@dagenmcdowell Re: #RobertELee statue in particular.To me, great great granddaughter of Union Soldier who died at Shiloh, I saw a Man who was a soldier sent to war & Surrendered. Surrender made him shunned by many Southerners. No win?His Win? He saved countless lives😎
Many don’t see my point. They want to stir up the war again.
Divide. They don’t feel, as I do here, the scars of a Union Army that carved a path to the Sea. Ruining everything in their path. Burning, Destroying Civilians, Children, Farmers, Businesses. Levon sang it. ❤️
