Mini Series Monday #11 - 6 Degrees of Separation

6/29/2015

0 Comments

 
During the last 2 weeks I made it to a couple of shows
around town, and am currently looking forward
to a Hockney photo exhibit coming up next month.

All of which got me thinking about the connections
between these artists and my own life / art...  
some more obvious than others, but let's take a look.
Picture
1. My photo of Chris Burden's "Ode to Santos Dumont" at LACMA
Picture
3. While across town one of Picasso's women at the Norton Simon was deep in thought...
Picture
5. ...or Hockney's "Card Players" soon to be seen at LA Louver in Venice (California)
Picture
4. ...perhaps about Cezanne's "Card Players" on loan from the Musée d'Orsay...
Picture
2. Just blocks from where we enjoyed Jonathan Richman's show at the El Rey
Picture
6. Which brings us full circle to another of my photos - an ode to the simple life in Burbank.
(If the connection between 2 & 3 is not obvious, you'll need to check out Jonathan Richman's song catalogue...  you'll hear for yourself)

Tumbling with SFMOMA

For the last few months (when I remember to do it)
I've been submitting images to SFMOMA's "on the go"
tumbler page which posts their selections every Friday.

This week I caught my pic "Afternoon Alley"
in their supercharged New Year's post...

Original below is linked to the post, but don't blink, or you'll miss it!
(It's also a part of my "Urban Landscape" series).

A New Year

1/1/2015

Ended the old year by visiting the Craft and Folk Art Museum
yesterday to catch Clare Graham's jaw-dropping exhibit
and was gleefully tickled when the docent mentioned that
"photography is encouraged"...

Well, you don't have to tell me twice!
Here are a choice few of the 200 images I came away with - 
Picture
Panoramic overview from entrance.
(Aluminum can wall mosaic, chaise and rug at right.)

Interior of Anagrams Cabinet
(left door open / right door closed)
Picture
Pull tab / pop top furniture
and hanging decor
(Sitting is an option too)
Picture
Detail of 6' bottle cap sculpture
of Empire State Building
Picture
Center panel of 6' tall
paint-by-numbers folding screen
(Pinkie and Blue Boy)

Show runs through Sunday, January 4.
I'm going to try to go again.

    As I See It...
    

    I spend a lot of time on the road and always have a camera with me - hoping to be ready when a serendipitous moment presents itself.

    Here you will find some of the day to day things that 
    may influence my art, news about projects I'm currently working on, as well as occasional musings on art, life and random visual non-sequiturs.
