Michael Jackson: the Pharaoh of Pop

August 6, 2009 by Regina Hackett 1 Comment

An Egyptian bust from 1500 B.C. to 1050 B.C. at Chicago’s Field Museum is getting heavy traffic thanks to its resemblance to Michael Jackson.

The origin of the moonwalk? Take another look at that silhouette.

Another Bouncing Ball

This blog continues Art To Go, which I wrote as the art critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, beginning at the end of 2007 and continuing through March 15, 2009. ABB is an exploration of art in Seattle that extends outward, both geographically and by topic, touching on art, politics, literature, dance and whatever it is that the cat drags in. Its title comes from a poem by Delmore Schwartz, The Ballad of the Children of the Czar, specifically, “The ground on which the ball bounces/ Is another bouncing ball.”
