Her most recent work, "American Prophets," portrays famed author of The Color Purple, Alice Walker, filmmaker Michael Moore, and Julia Hill, a young woman who managed to save an old growth Redwood tree by living in it for more than two years.

I can see why she was chosen as an artist whose work exemplifies Ithaca.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Annmarie Zwack Named Ithaca Festival's Artist of the Year,

I was hoping against hope that just for once we'd get something like:

"Ms. Zwack made beautiful paintings of our local landscapes."

"Ms. Zwack wrote riveting plays about the moral choices a family must make. People of all ages could learn from and enjoy her productions."

"Ms. Zwack sang beautiful songs in the great American songwriting tradition of George Gershwin and Irving Berlin."

Oh, well. Back to reality.

With the theme “I am Ithaca” Zwack suggested the I-Fest organizers look at another piece of her work too. A painted silk quilt called “Ithaca” shows a woman holding the sun and her body becomes the earth and the waterfall her dress.

Yeah, but what I really want to see is her velvet rendition of the Indian maiden flanked by her horse and pet wolf. That's the real test of artistic merit....

"I am Ithaca"?

There is no greatness in the arts anymore... or it’s never seen due to the political commentary. But I’m glad that if anybody paints Michael Moore it’s some third rate artist rendering a third rate American his third rate due. It’s all turd rate.

Julia “Butterfly” Hill was a very pathetic young woman. Brain-damaged in an auot accident, she was cruelly manipulated by Earth First and its fellow travelers. They kept her a virtual prisoner in that tree, long after she had let it be known that she wanted to c ome down. In the end, she did not save the tree and simply threw away two years of her life.
