James Jean

A friend at work told me about James Jean, the first image he showed me was "Rickshaw"

shown above. I don't over analyze paintings when I see them. To me is more like when I hear a song for the first time, the very first sound or noise would tell me if I would love it or not. When I first looked at these paintings I just thought "Damn, that's good". Then I started to dance my eyes around the beautiful brush strokes, trying to recreate the artist's hand swinging back and forth.

Magnolia Laurie

"Within my paintings and installations, the structures and systems created are illogical; they are delicate and makeshift in a way that may not endure their own weight, let alone the impending disruptions. Yet, they are made, and to me they reference the sustained need to try, to build, to create, even in the face of complete futility. They depict the instinctive, sometimes manic, and desperate human act of building and within them I am thinking about the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations." - Magnolia Laurie.

I wished I owned this lietter more than any of his "art".

THE PERFECT HUMAN & SEAHORSES...

Danish poet and film director Jørgen Leth’s 1969 short film The Perfect Human.

This is Jean Painlevé’s "The Seahorse' (1934). In this version Painlevé’s narration is replaced with a soundtrack by Current 93. Some say the original is better, I disagree.


And something that is not like the rest...

Filmed over 15 months at a bus stop, this guy....(Hats off for doing your own..)

Wassily Kandinsky at the Guggenheim

FYI, Kandinsky is up at the Guggenheim at the moment, if you're in NYC, or living here.





*Make time to brush up on your art history, parties are parties, and there will always be one, later, and you can always talk about pointless shit amongst friends over brunch. Some days, were meant to be spent in retrospect and personal thought. I think I have my coming weekend planned out.
