Robert Wright, Art Is Pan

I found myself on the CBC Listen radio web site, and this blurb:

• Child welfare system failing children of colour.   What Abdoul Abdi's case can teach us about Nova Scotia's child welfare system. Robert Wright is a social worker and sociologist in private practise in Halifax. 

The name Robert Wright immediately caught my eye, an addition to the recent “Wright (write/right  the truth)” pattern-cluster.  And so I simply googled the name ... although a different Robert Wright cropped up, butt note from his wiki page:

• Robert Wright (born January 15, 1957)   

Note his birthday and now note this excerpt from my January 16 post, Colourful Characters :

• Frank Ball (15 January 1921 – 16 Mar 2013) Captain Stephen Peacock

 January 15 also the birthday of both my son and life partner (born 22 years apart).   

And then this excerpt from my January 16 post, Down Land Water Daughter Slaughter:

• a “January 1, __, 3, 4, 5, 6(x2), 7, ... 15(x3) . .. 19(x3 ), 20, 21(x2), 22, 23(x2) /Date Sequence” pattern-cluster 

With everything that transpired in the 4 days following, the cluster went to the way side, which I really shouldn’t have neglected being that we’re in the month of January.  So I guess it’s time for a little catchup, here are others that cropped up in the posts following:

• Peter Mayle (14 June 1939 – 18 January 2018) 
• Paul Cézanne (19 January 1839 – 22 October 1906)
• Eligiusz Niewiadomski (Dec 1, 1869 in Warsaw – January 31, 1923) 
• Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944)
• Nicolas de Staël (January 5, 1914 – March 16, 1955) 
• Peggy Flournoy (January 17, 1904 – October 7, 1972) football, baseball player
• Samuel Lightfoot Flournoy  (January 17, 1886 – May 17, 1961) politician
• Terri Williams-Flournoy (born January 11, 1969)^[women's basketball 
• Samuel Lightfoot Flournoy  (November 25, 1846 – Jan 28, 1904)
• Rodney Alan Fern (13 December 1948 – 16 January 2018) 
• Timothy J. O'Connor Jr. (December 13, 1936 – January 16, 2018)
• Herbert McGolfin Shelton (October 6, 1895 – January 1, 1985
• Joseph Henry White (November 16, 1946 – January 16, 2018) 
• Pandit Ulhas Bapat (31 August 1950 – 4 January 2018)    
• John Gaston Peacock (January 10, 1910 – October 17, 1981
• Thomas Love Peacock (18 October 1785 – 23 January 1866) 
• William Peacock (c. 1790 – 20 January 1874)  

Expanding the cluster:

• a “January 1(x2), __, 3, 4(x2), 5(x2) 6(x2), 7, __, __, 10, 11, ..., 15(x3), 16(x3), 17(x2), 18, 19(x4), 20(x2) 21(x2), 22, 23(x4), ... 28, __, __, 31/Date Sequence” pattern-cluster 

According to the rules, where ever there’s a single gap in a cluster, such as the January 2nd gap in the above, its free game— open for investigation.  Usually I use the formula (http://pronoiasecrets.blogspot.ca/2017/01/formula.html),  butt in this case ... and somewhat like the previous post, I’ll look for a “Painter”.

• 2005 – Frank Freas (August 27, 1922 – January 2, 2005) American illustrator and painter 

And now note the first art work shown on his wiki page:  

 "The Piper", illustrating Wakefield's "The Third Shadow" for Weird Tales, was Freas's first magazine cover

We have another addition to the recent “Pan” pattern-cluster.  And then the second Artist I found was in the birthday section, and take a look at the first painting shown on his wiki page: 

• 1462 – Piero di Cosimo (2 January 1462^[1] – 12 April 1522 Italian painter)  

 

The Death of Procris, c. 1495

Another Pan!!  

Note from my recent January 17 post, Colourful Characters: 

At the beginning of the Let It Be version of the song, Lennon can be heard jokingly saying "Sweet Loretta Fart (often misheard as "fat", due to Lennon's pronunciation^[6]), she thought she was a cleaner, but she was a frying pan." .

 What caught my eye is the “frying pan” given the recent “Pan” pattern-cluster, note the following from 2 recent posts:

•   My January 9, 2018 post,  King, IT Lie in Waitz (Part 2)

For the record re Others from Prime Evil (1988) :  "The Great God Pan", by M. John Harrison (born 26 July 1945)

•  My January 15, 2018 post,  Painful Feet Feat: 

• Pandit Ulhas Bapat (31 August 1950 – 4 January 2018)   

• The name Pandit is a combination of “pan/bandit”... that decipher further using  etymology:   Pan: Arcadian shepherd god with upper body of a man and horns and lower part like a goat, late 14c., a god of the woods and fields... , literally "nourisher."

And then there’s also this excerpt from the post: 

•  Orsten Artis (June 7, 1943^[1] – December 26, 2017)

The surname Artis is a cryptic combination re: “Art is/Artist”— definitely keeping in the theme of things!!
