It was four years ago that Liz Heidhues, then 70, was handcuffed, thrown into an SFPD paddy wagon and hauled off to jail for the second time in less than two years.
The victim of a second reprehensible, brutal false Citizen’s Arrest. Two false Citizen’s arrests which had no probable cause or basis in fact.
Two false Citizen’s Arrests which were quickly tossed out of San Francisco Superior Court.
Nonetheless, the psychological damage was done and has been long lasting.
Today, on the fourth anniversary of this heinous abuse we went to the Legion of Honor to put ourselves in another place artistically, mentally and spiritually.
Lee and Liz look past the trauma and view Botticelli
Botticelli Drawings is the first exhibition ever dedicated to the drawings of Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli
Sandro Botticelli – Judith with the Head of Holofernes.The account of the beheading of Holofernes by Judith is given in the deuterocanonicalBook of Judith, and is the subject of many paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In the story, Judith, a beautiful widow, is able to enter the tent of Holofernes because of his desire for her. Holofernes was an Assyrian general who was about to destroy Judith’s home, the city of Bethulia. Overcome with drink, he passes out and is decapitated by Judith; his head is taken away in a basket (often depicted as being carried by an elderly female servant).
