	glbtq >> arts >> Burra, Edward

		Burra, from an upper-class family, had a fascination with the lower class and with the urban underworld.
		Burra's drawings and watercolors inspired by the cabaret, the music hall, and the theater have earned him comparison with the German artist George Grosz, with whom he shared a similarly satirical wit and a sharp eye for the revealing detail.

	Edward Burra. Stage and Cabaret
		Edward Burra: Stage and Cabaret presents works by one of the greatest British draftsmen and water colourists of the twentieth century.
		This was one of Burra's major commissions for the stage and his studies show the seriousness with which he took it, combining watercolour and pencil with swatches of material.
		Burra's neglect comes partly from such reminders of other artists, but mainly because, rather than making paintings, he stuck to drawings and watercolours- considered lesser artforms.

		The Burra Charter process, or sequence of investigations, decisions and actions, is illustrated in the accompanying flowchart.

		Burra was a fan of jazz, so its association with such figures as Duke Ellington was an inevitable attraction.
		Burra shared in the fashionable interest in fl culture and his depiction of these figures shows a relish in the 'cool' behavior that distinguished them from familiar White society.

	Burra Burra Peak
		I'd spotted Burra Burra Peak on a Sierra Club list of winter hikes somewhere, and mentally filed it away as an appealing spring training possibility.
		The Sierra Club has an interesting system of grading hikes, labeling them by a number and letter; the number corresponds to maximum distance, multiplied by five miles, and the letter corresponds to maximum elevation gain, multiplied by 1000 feet (e.g., a 4C hike would be up to 20 miles and up to 3000' gain).
		A short walk up to Burra Burra Peak--the western-most, lower summit actually has better views, due to the thick chapparal around the highpoint--and a walk around via the Center Flats Road and Tule Pond/Serpentine trails led to Willson Peak, from where I descended the Steer Ridge trail to meet my car just before dark.

		Other supporters included Mr Fullerton’s relatives who spoke of the shortage of house sites and the need for young families to be retained in the area, and the owners of the croft on whose land the house would be sited who described it as “of no agricultural value”.

		The cable bit deep into the tender flesh around his throat, behind the back of his neck, trapping one ear, the noose tightening as his mother pulled him free, leaving him almost throttled, unable to lift his head, unable to feed, but still desperate to, somehow, try and live.
