By coincidence the George Wegman painting we have hanging in our bedroom slipped down in its frame this morning. I found some linen hanging tape hung it back in place. In George’s artist statement, on view at Richard Margolis’s space this month, George says he asked himself what it would it be like if my paintings could cry. He says he laughed tearfully and cried sadly during the project. His crying paintings are exceptionally beautiful.
There is so much to look at (and think about) in Coleen Buzzard’s studio. The walls are forever in flux with work in progress and I never fail to fixate on a jewel like the piece above.
Peter Monacelli’s fan club packed the fourth floor of the Anderson Arts building. Richard Margolis grabbed this cluster. Pete has been dealing with some health issues but he never lets that get his spirits down. His artist statement included this quote from Robert Henri.“Art is the true province of every human being. Art is simply a question doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside extra.” Pete says, “In my artistic life i have attempted to put the thought of all that i love in all the things that i have made.”
