On the Net: www His vision has unfamiliar and traditional elements â€â€? clipped brown hair, a medium-length beard, a slightly olive complexion and unusually striking blue eyes W " A few hundred more lie helter-skelter in every room of his house Gordon isn't getting rich off the deal, estimating he's earned less than $20,000 in royalties hospitals or cloistered in weather stations and military posts in Iceland, Greenland and Baffin Island Many of his works hang in museums, churches or private collections "You have to have a challenge in life I think an artist has it over anybody else "I said, wait a minute!" said Gordon, a buoyant, mile-a-minute raconteur who jumps at every chance to retell a tale " Gordon honed his craft during World War II with speedy charcoal sketches of soldiers lying wounded in U " When he's gone, he expects his son, Kevin, a master portraitist himself, to find a place for them all He promised to pick it up on a return trip but was assassinated "He does look serious, which I think is appropriate for the times," Prothero said " Stephen Prothero, a Boston University religion professor who wrote "American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon," said the image is sterner, more masculine and world weary than classic ones, though he finds the eyes "very strange" in a "fairly Semitic looking" face "I don't believe in religion at all Gordon attached a north-facing studio to his home in this Rochester suburb near Lake Ontario and taught art in college for 25 years "There's no vibration," he said His most talked-about subject, one he's struggled to capture on canvas since being awe-struck at age 8 by an ancient scene hanging over his grandmother's fireplace, has the rugged features of a desert wanderer, the powerful gaze of a revolutionary prophet But he insists, "I don't care 99 a pop All 2,000, 16-by-20-inch color prints sold out in five minutes at $49 His paintings of six presidents include George H Dan Morgan, a resort developer and longtime friend, bought it from Gordon and got it displayed on the QVC shopping channel in 2000 "I do the best I can and leave the rest to Mother Nature," he said, chuckling There's the feeling he's pulling you toward him, combining your mind and his mind Sustained by rekindled interest in all things spiritual since the Sept "He does not look sweet and friendly Loren sat for Gordon during a visit to Rochester in 1982 and he said she took the portrait away to her ranch in California " Although the painting might serve as his legacy, Gordon said, "I consider my portraits a historical document that will live forever This is a guy who'd enlist in a battle with you Although the network regretted the Jackson incident and has added a five-second precautionary delay for live events, Moonves said, such an approach is not feasible for news or sports CBS could face a Federal Communications Commission fine of $550,000 or a maximum penalty of $27,500 for each of 20 CBS-owned stations, The Associated Press reported last month S The FCC, hit by more than 500,000 complaints, stepped up its anti-decency enforcement after the incident We still encourage our producers to walk the edge and tell edgy stories "We're going to take that to the courts if it happens and let's just be smart about it CBS hasn't set new guidelines for its producers but has told them, according to Moonves: "Look, be aware of what's going on in the world "We think the idea of a fine for that is patently ridiculous and we're not going to stand for it," he said 1 Super Bowl show watched by some 90 million featured Jackson and singer Justin Timberlake in a duet that ended with Timberlake ripping off part of Jackson's top and exposing a breast The U " But, he added, "in no way, shape or form have we changed any story lines Senate and House have gone on record seeking higher penalties for indecency It's perilously dangerous " The MTV-produced Feb " Viacom has more at stake in the debate CBS: Network Will Resist Super Bowl Fines Jul 19, 5:30 AM EST CBS will fight any fines leveled against its television stations over Janet Jackson's startling Super Bowl performance, a top executive with parent company Viacom Inc Its Infinity Broadcasting unit owns the majority of stations that airs Howard Stern, the radio shock jock who generated record fines for both Infinity and another broadcaster, Clear Channel Communications A fine would be "grossly unfair," Leslie Moonves, Viacom co-president and co-chief operating officer, told the Television Critics Association on Sunday said "It seems to be a fairly easy issue, because who out there isn't against indecency? So it's clearly a lightning road in Washington right now, and we have to pay attention to it An FCC staff recommendation did not call for fining CBS affiliates that aired the Super Bowl halftime show but are not owned by Viacom " Since the Super Bowl, the network's standards and practices department that monitors program content is "is being maybe a little bit tougher, especially on things that we feel are gratuitous," he said Asked if he thought the issue would fade after the presidential election year, Moonves said he was unsure but expressed doubt |
