Carr is my FAVORITE artist! I love all her paintings. YOU Can see lots of her beautiful work many places in British Columbia.

There is NO WAY I do not get that painting.

He painted that in the mid-seventies.

(A full decade after he ordered the "War On Puberty" to slow down the "Copulation Explosion" )

Sorry for the bad angle

My grandfather took up painting as a hobby at age 80. These are two of his works.

when he painted the first?

He turned 80 that year. The chances he had ever heard of Iggy Pop are slim and none.

which, sadly, is at the Art Institute of Chicago. (Alas, Hopper sold it to them, since he needed to make a living.)


Nighthawks by Edward Hopper 1942

Like most of her paintings, this one done from a photograph she took; Grace learned photography from her father in the 1880’s.

Pollack’s One: Number 31 at the NYC MOMA. Walk slowly toward it; then backward. The energy embodied within it’s frame is amazing. “Energy is Eternal Delight”, said Blake. He was so right!

Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Proto-cubists. The women are eery, captivating. They draw you in like Greek sirens, holding you and holding and holding. Also at the MOMA.

Matisse, La Musique. 2 women sitting in a comfortable garden, one playing guitar. Sheet music on the floor. Colors, composition make it a masterpiece.

Some might say it’s dorm room art. But what can I say?, it’s great art!
