The artist behind a current AeroMexico safety card is not convinced. In an echo of The Son of Man, the 1964 painting by Belgian Surrealist René Magritte, the AeroMexico man is rendered in realistic detail—from rolled up sleeves to tousled hair—all of which is, however, a set up for the darkly comic punch line: the man has no face. This bit of surrealistic surgery, more than the yellow life preserver, is what we remember. It is plain to us that this creepily inanimate son of man is, in struggling to preserve his life, in some sense already dead.The Unlikely Event, Avi Steinberg - in The Paris Review
So Much Beauty In Dirt
Roll down the windows and open our mouths, taste where we are and play the music loud.
Stop the car, lay on the grass, the planets spin and we watch space pass.
There's so much beauty it could make you cry.
