Now, the entire country is governed by a chief executive who vows to make life miserable for undocumented immigrants. Pursuing what might be called his “bad hombre” theory”. However, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh extoled immigrants and challenge Congress to work towards comprehensive immigration reform. “I wish that our national immigration policy was written and crafted with the same care and courage that immigrations display every single day in our country,” Walsh said, drawing applause from the crowd of Bostonians and visitors crammed into the historic building. “Long before they take the (citizenship) oath, whatever their status, the vast majority of immigrants live out the meaning of our founding values”. Let’s look at immigration reform, let’s look at fixing this problem rather than pointing fingers and blaming other nationalities based on where they come from. Let’s do a comprehensive immigration reform policy and move forward on that.” You can't be blamed if at this point the insanity of this era swirls by in an undifferentiated flow of bewildering data points, like so much surreal flotsam and jetsam. When the world starts to fly off its kilter, a certain level of unreality inevitably becomes the norm.

Herbert Lee Murrie was born in Chicago, Illinois. Herbert’s art school training was classic in nature. His love of painting leaned toward the French Impressionists, Monet, Cezanne, Sisley, and Gauguin to name a few. Never the less, he greatly admired what was happening in the early 60’s and 70’s by the American abstract painters, Wilhelm de Kooning, Arshile Gorki, Mark Rothko’s early abstractions and Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings. The Renaissance painters of Italy as well had an influence on him especially in the area of color. Over the past 10 to 12 years his painting moved rapidly to the abstract. He knew he had to keep pushing forward toward a totally non-objective, purely emotional state. He never felt the same emotion or excitement before that he feels in his abstract work today. One presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. None of his paintings function as illustrations of an idea; ultimately they are the idea. The shapes and forms emerge through the constant blending and manipulations of the paint. A non hierarchical interweaving of form with space and color…interlacing forms, bows and curves that constantly intersect to produce fantastic spatial structures that change with the light, could be altered endlessly. To cause something to change and flow, to make it relative, suits him very well. He will edit out and build upon what he feels is working. Sometimes when images come about by chance they are fresher, more organic, more inevitable. Instinct takes charge. The composition of different forms, colors, structures, proportions, harmonies come out as an abstract system analogous to music. Letting a thing come rather than creating it is more genuine, richer, more alive. Anything is possible in his paintings; any form, added at will, changes the picture but does not make it wrong. The fact that Herbert’s paintings evolve their motifs as the work proceeds is a timely one because there is no central image of the world any longer: He must work out everything for himself. He wants to capture the energy one finds in the music of Beethoven, Mozart, the Beatles, the poetry of Bob Dylan. Music has that abstract energy that is Difficult to put into words. You feel it, sense it to produce a specific emotional effect.
