UDHR drawing Article 6

"Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law." This was always one of my favorite UDHR images -- the iconic figure & "vessel". The painting was used as a poster in Spain in 1992 for the Expo-related shows.


Pencil & ink wash on paper, 1990, 16.5" x 12" approx.

And here is the poster in question, for the Seville human rights show:

Diana Reads Tumbalalaika

Here is a short YouTube video of Diana reading the poem, "Tumbalalaika" at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck, NY, on April 25th 2008. The event was well-attended, lives were changed, heartstrings were pulled, & I was very proud of her. She read around 14 or 15 poems from her book "Tumbalalaika", & the event lasted around an hour. The local TV station, Panda, also videotaped the reading for broadcast. The video here was shot by myself on our trusty camcorder.
