If you're in a Guston mood there's a show up right now at Hauser & Wirth's 18th Street space that focuses on his deep & loving relationship with his wife, poet Musa McKim www.hauserwirth.com/hauser-wirth...

"San Clemente," one of most scathingly apt visual depictions of Richard Nixon as failed & suffering figure; it was painted by Philip Guston, celebrated artist born #OnThisDay in 1913. Here Guston makes a central motif out of the chronic, painful phlebitis Nixon famously suffered in his left leg

Thanks Barry! I started doing the whole series (73 drawings) while ago, and then took a break for some exhibit PR. The rest are coming along

Variations on a theme within the larger Mindless Pleasures #drawing series: film as still-life; negative (sprocket holes) as solid form. #art #contemporaryart #abstractart #artonpaper

Studio wall: painting in process. Badlands III.

we know the material, i feel like as found color goes, that should be enough, without wading [literally] into what's now a hot takes swamp

I was thinking about this as a source for found color or drawing/ collage/ painting material. There’s a nice frisson with my current Moby Dick obsession, but OTOH this sort of engagement is probably not healthy…

It's not like I have a high opinion of the people who run sports leagues and own teams. But I'm kind of staggered at little the people at the top in MLB care about baseball or understand how it works on a fundamental level.

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

I’m really digging those, especially the ones playing with books as a form and source for visual art, rather than a carrier of text.

When discussing my painting the influence of Johns & Wool come up frequently for my use of stencils, but Jannis Kounellis has been as important, if not more so… he takes a crude, barely mechanical & graphic application of signs to define an abstract field; he shows the freedom within mechanization.

David Hammons & Jannis Kounellis at Whitecube Gallery: art that drastically revises the understanding of #painting and smartly links Italian Arte Povera with marginalized American artists.

I love how work with airplane sections.

Joan, is there one law? https://www.artic.edu/artworks/242446/

but for the lol emptiness of "two paintings on a wall," it was "a painting of various figures with their backs turned staring at something the viewer can't see" that pushed me to post all the texts written for people who don't see
