AdamsArtExpose’<br />

SWIMMING NUDE IN ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY and a<br />

summer phenomenon in gay Palm Springs<br />

Thomas Eakins is one of the first artists <strong>to</strong><br />

encourage the use of nude models in life<br />

drawing. As early as 1886 as an instruc<strong>to</strong>r<br />

at the Pennsylvania Academy of art, he was<br />

dismissed from his position because he<br />

removed the loin cloth from a male model<br />

with female students in the class.<br />

reason <strong>to</strong> study nude models <strong>to</strong> create the<br />

art. Much of his subject content revolved<br />

around nude swimmers which was a way <strong>to</strong><br />

depict the nude without excessive criticism.<br />

Nude swimming was accepted among<br />

males during this time.<br />

He was married, however spent most of<br />

his time with Samual Murray, who was<br />

a student and then companion of Eakins<br />

although he was 15 years younger. Of<br />

course being gay was not recognized as a<br />

legitimate sexual preference at that point<br />

Eakins was known <strong>to</strong> be not necessarily a<br />

nice guy. He showed bad manners in being<br />

rude and sometimes sloppy and slobbery<br />

as mentioned by his biographer Lloyd<br />

Goodrich. He was reported <strong>to</strong> have been<br />

bipolar and was being treated with medicinal<br />

opiates which may have contributed<br />

<strong>to</strong> his behavior. He was also reported <strong>to</strong><br />

be an exhibitionist and a voyeur. Which<br />

may have been a misinterpretation of his<br />

behavior as he created art and pho<strong>to</strong>graphy<br />

using the male nude which of course is a<br />

of American his<strong>to</strong>ry, however, Eakins most<br />

certainly was.<br />

His work in painting and pho<strong>to</strong>graphy will<br />

stand a model for representing and advocating<br />

for the nude as a legitimate model<br />

for pho<strong>to</strong>graphy and visual art.<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />

I usually post about my mental<br />

health on Facebook, and bitch about<br />

scumbag people here in Jersey’s<br />

Journal. Today I’m going <strong>to</strong> switch it<br />

around.<br />

I am diagnosed with depression and<br />

anxiety. It’s a battle as an entertainer,<br />

especially. It’s actually very common<br />

among entertainers. The irony of it<br />

all.<br />

Let’s give you a disease that draws<br />

you in when your job is <strong>to</strong> be out<br />

and proud.<br />

When you have no desire for life,<br />

boy is it <strong>to</strong>ugh. I’ve done it many,<br />

many, many times! It’s part of the<br />

job. I’m here <strong>to</strong> entertain you!!!<br />

But, like most things in life it isn’t<br />

easy. I’m so lucky for my wonderful<br />

friends. I am very blessed in that<br />

capacity.<br />

I have a solid base of people supporting<br />

me. I am very lucky in that<br />

aspect. So I guess I should say Thank<br />

you <strong>to</strong> all of my support system.<br />

Thank you!<br />

my article. Now just seems like the<br />

best place <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p!<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />

OMG, where <strong>to</strong> begin.<br />

The Republicans, AFTER & YEARS, have no plan<br />

<strong>to</strong> repeal, replace or even repair Obamacare. Three<br />

courageous Sena<strong>to</strong>rs s<strong>to</strong>od and said NO <strong>to</strong> removing<br />

31 million people from access <strong>to</strong> healthcare.<br />

Trump blasts the entire Senate as incompetent<br />

while his administration loses not just a Press Secretary<br />

but a Chief of Staff – all within 6 months of<br />

inauguration.<br />

The new Communications Direc<strong>to</strong>r is nicknamed<br />

“the Mooch” but it looks like the new name is “Potty-mouth”.<br />

I know my mother would have washed<br />

my mouth out with soap if I even used one of those<br />

words.<br />

The First son-in-law testified before the Senate<br />

committee investigating Russia involvement with<br />

the election and he through First Son – Donnie<br />

Jr under the bus. Former campaign chairman<br />

Manafort is up next. He has been subpoenaed.<br />

Trump tells Independent Counsel <strong>to</strong> stay out of<br />

his finances – methinks Mueller may already have<br />

the tax returns.<br />

Sena<strong>to</strong>r Graham of the Carolinas tells the press<br />

that there will be “holy hell” <strong>to</strong> pay if Trump<br />

tries <strong>to</strong> fire the At<strong>to</strong>rney General or Independent<br />

Counsel. Even Richard Nixon got <strong>to</strong> year 6 of his<br />

Presidency………..<br />

bill that came from the Senate had NO WAY TO<br />

FINANCE IT ATTACHED. So, the conservatives<br />

want <strong>to</strong> cut off their noses <strong>to</strong> spite their face and<br />

the liberals say damn the cost we want what we<br />

want.<br />

Locally, Cathedral City continues <strong>to</strong> move <strong>to</strong>ward<br />

being the most progressive city in the valley. The<br />

Council passed a resolution 4-1 supporting and<br />

committing <strong>to</strong> the Paris Climate agreement. In<br />

September, they will be looking at requiring fast<br />

food restaurants that serve kids meals <strong>to</strong> offer milk<br />

or water as the default drink, still allowing the<br />

parent or child <strong>to</strong> order a soft drink, but milk as<br />

default if no choice is made.<br />

Districts are moving forward in Indio and Cathedral<br />

City in anticipation of the 2018 election.<br />

Indio has narrowed down <strong>to</strong> 3 choices and Cathedral<br />

City <strong>to</strong> 7. CC will cut those <strong>to</strong> 3 at the next<br />

council meeting. I believe both cities are planning<br />

on a final decision in September.<br />

Labor Day there will be a Resistance Rally at the<br />

Cathedral City Town Square Park by the Civic<br />

Center. It will be from 5:30pm – 7:00pm and feature<br />

speakers from local and county government,<br />

education, healthcare, environment and more.<br />

There will even be kid’s activities so folks can bring<br />

the family. Come join us as the valley says NO <strong>to</strong><br />

Donald Trump and his regressive policies!<br />
