Deborah Zlotsky "Waiting Room" 2011


Deborah Zolatsky "Catch-22" 2011


Deborah Zlotsky "All That Follows" 2011


Deborah Zlotsky "Atavistic" 2011


I love the precise color harmonies of this work. They glow like a well done fresco. I would call the forms natural geometry; they are so evocative of material and something non-material which is becoming the heart of my own study. See more of her work at Deborah Zlotsky's website.

Bacon's Dog?


This painting is entitled "Touc, Seated on a Table" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. I read a wise comment that wondered if Francis Bacon had not seen this painting? Also at the Hammer Museum in LA is this wondeful Cezanne painting I had never seen before.




Paul Cezanne "Boy Resting" c. 1887

Contemporary Curators Are Like Capitalism'; They Can Consume Anything

This is a piece of a review by Peter Schjeldahl in the November 21st New Yorker.  It seems pointless to complain because it just raises these sophomoric, tiresome shanagins to some level of the scandalous, which they are not, but they do take up valuable resources. Are curators held accountable to anyone other then fellow artworld nitwits??

AAHHHHHHHHHHHH

After 5 days the electricity is back on! It went off just as I was about to animate my monster. Luckily I was able to procure some ice and he is still as fresh as a daisy. Tonight I will bring him to LIFE! I hope I don't regret it.....
