  "Before my version begins to fade, 
  Let me relieve what happened today. 
  Today was not a lifetime of discrimination and shame, 
  But of celebration as a black man living in Ukraine." 
  - culled from the EPIGRAPH 
  A brave and explorative Artisan 
  Calm exterior but he was born a warrior 
  A Leon not bothered about territory 
  A Leon who hunted alone. 
  And a Leon who hurt alone. 
  With a free prefrontal cortex, he came prepared for learning... 
  And learn he did, as his memory campus would get soiled with complex realities. 
  In my first anatomy tour, all I saw were dry cadavers, 
  But by the end of my tenure, I saw my own fresh blood. 
  No tribal marks but you can tell he started out with an Afro. 
  And in this foreign soil, explorations were his special dish. 
  To-and-fro he evolved... and no, he didn't hail from the safari. 
  From a genial ark but he always kept his wits about him. 
  And when he stepped out, he was like a fresh aphrodisiac. 
  Through his eyes, you could hear all of his favorite tunes. 
  Black vanilla at his core as he had a thing for interfacing. 
  General with a stylus brush, 
  Hankie forever in the back pocket. 
  Like his paws, his heart appears four-chambered, 
  But on closer inspection, you see a fifth chamber a short distance away from the rest. 
  A blind Cub walking in the midst of hyenas, 
  With lesions so deep, they suffocated him where it hurt most. 
  The pages are filled with art and expression, 
  As I relive this once-in-a-lifetime experience... 
  Which shaped me into the man I am today.

  Monet and Picasso - The Painters...

  This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: Claude Monet has been the icon for the impressionist movement. Painting vague strokes of color and contrast, water, and flowers were typical. Other aspects of the art weren’t as clear but were just as important, nonetheless. Claude Monet certainly faced many struggles as he tried to build his passion for painting into a career. His family life wasn’t perfect either, but despite of all these obstacles, the French genius painter has left us a legacy and a new perspective on realism and technique in their purest forms. 
  In this guide, we’ll go over his youth, his style, his methods, his most famous paintings, and many of the reasons why he made the decisions he made. Embark on a journey by diving into the world of art in the French countryside in the 19th century. Find out what made this painter so unique and beloved by so many. 
  2: Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it. 
   Picasso’s personal life was filled with struggles, but some of those were likely self-imposed. From records, we learn that he had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and was extremely abusive in several of his relationships, dominating the women he slept with in kinky, sadistic ways. His children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines. Despite of the dysfunctionality in his personal and family life, his artwork reflected something new and fresh. His concepts of color, contrast, and composition have inspired many.

  ARGO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BEN AFFLECK 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Argo is a historical drama set during the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. The film follows Tony Mendez, a CIA operative, who devises a daring plan to rescue six American diplomats trapped in Tehran. Posing as a Hollywood film producer scouting locations for a fake sci-fi movie, Mendez teams up with Hollywood professionals to create a cover story. The movie blends suspense, political intrigue, and dark humor, highlighting themes of deception, bravery, and international cooperation. Directed by Ben Affleck, Argo masterfully portrays the tension of a high-stakes operation amidst the backdrop of a volatile political climate. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Former President Jimmy Carter commented in an interview with Piers Morgan that he believed the film was a 'great drama' and deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. However, he pointed out that although 'ninety percent of the contributions to the plan were Canadian,' the movie gives nearly full credit to the American CIA. He suggested that the true hero was Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor.” 
    
  “For the opening scene, the director of photography handed out 8mm cameras to certain people in the crowd to make the scene feel authentic, as though it was real footage of the riot.” 
    
  “The Iranian official seen on archive footage at the end of the film, issuing threats against Canada for their role in the rescue, was later executed by the regime he served.”
