An abstract painting is not an idea, nor is it devoid of ideas. Nicholas Krushenick, “Outspan,”. 1968, Acrylic on canvas, 84 x 72 inches. An abstract painting is not solely an object, nor can it be separated from its object-ness. Pat Steir, “Green, Gold and Umber”. 2009-10, Oil on canvas, 60 1/2 x 51 in. An abstract painting does not depict, nor does it turn its back on the world. Norman Bluhm, “Aegean Angel,”. 1988, oil on canvas, 66 x 66 inches. Joan Snyder, “Are Mine,”. Links to this post.

A reader asked me last week why I have a photo of Newgrange in the header of the blog. Newgrange. Is a group of Neolithic mounds and structures about 40 miles north of Dublin.

We went to see the marvelous El Anatsui show at the Brooklyn Museum. A couple months ago. The exhibition closes on 18 August so I thought it a good time to share some photos. I was also listening to a TED talk. By Murray Gell-Mann this afternoon, as well as an interview. He did with my friend, the brilliant and charming Mary-Charlotte Domandi at KSFR in Santa Fe, which raised a connection with El Anatsui's work. If you can stop in your efforts will be rewarded.

169;Bracha Ettinger, 2005. I never met Jean-François Lyotard, though I would have loved to. A friend of mine studied with him at the graduate program at UC Irvine and told me a few winning stories. One was from a party, where Lyotard arrived in splendid style, sporting a Colombo-worthy trench coat, a surgically-attached Galois, and two bottles of bourbon—one for the party and one for himself. Another person whose work has been. Robert Irwin

quirkblog: Some thoughts on Irwin's "Whose Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue3"
http://quirkblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/some-thoughts-on-irwins-whose-afraid-of.html
Some thoughts on Irwin's "Whose Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue3". As I mentioned in the prior post, something I found noteworthy in viewing Dorsky’s films was the heightening of the sense of perception, awareness and attentiveness, and how that persisted beyond the darkness of the theater. It put me in mind of what occurred during and after seeing Robert Irwin’s Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue. At Pace in New York on a nasty February day in 2007. Was duplicated while watching Dorsky’s films...
