This is Pierre, the saxophone player who has lost his lover to another man (a drummer), and he’s playing the blues while drowning his sorrows in cheap wine and cigarettes.

I am posting this painting to celebrate Bastille Day in France. This event symbolized the end of the French monarchy’s absolute power and the beginning of a new era of liberty and equality. The French got it right. Maybe we should take note.
