The Story of Her (My) Life

I watched it - it was wonderful!  I was in my late teens (very late teens!) she was someone I truly enjoyed.

The story of Gilda Radner's Life.  

(I don't usually do this but CNN is doing a special on Gilda on New Year's Eve 2019)

but . . . . . I want to share this with you!

I love this. 

I read it on a friend's Face Book post.

I decided to share it with y'all. (You. Lucky. Readers.)!

Story of my life!

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

"Something"

An Exhibit by Francesca Fuchs

2018 Texas Artist of the Year

Francescas Fuchs works in acrylics on canvas board.  Fuchs says, "I work the old-fashioned way. I make little paintings, like 10 by 13 inches, and then make cartoon drawings from them. I change the drawing till I'm happy with it, make stencils and trace them onto the large canvas or the wall, then paint it."

Fuchs is an instructor at the Glassell School of Art in Houston.

The Jung Center

5200 Montrose Blvd.
Houston, TX

     In my visit to The Jung Center, I saw Kristen Cliburn’s exhibit.  Her canvases are visual distillations of the natural world. Cliburn states,  "she views the work as allusions to the physical world through the subtle isolation of color and light”.  Her paintings can be positively transformative, calling on the viewer to stop, be still and contemplate.

Art Share . . . The Belle Epoque era of the art scene

The Belle Époque was an era of peace and plenty between wars

The French expression Belle Époque was used in retrospect after the horrors of World War One—a term of nostalgia for a simpler time of peace, prosperity, and progress.

Gallery Trek #1

"Off The Wall Gallery"  

610 West Loop, The Galleria, Houston, Texas 

At "Off The Wall Gallery" you will find original works of art from the Impressionaist and Belle Epoque periods, as well as contemporary impressionist works.  

I went to see some of the original art work of Malcolm Liepke whose work is unabashed, confident and human.  Narrative figurative paintings are his thing.  I'm hoping they become my thing!  His paint is thick, and the brush stokes are often visable and wide-set. Oil is his chosen medium.  Bold brushstrokes, rich buttery surfaces and most importantly, the timeless humanity of his classically inspired imagery have yielded him tremendous success around the world!

Enjoy.

     Art is an idea that belongs to everyone.  It is found in ever culture.  Whatever physical form it might take, whatever emotional, aesthetic, or psychological challenge it may offer, it is vital to every culture's sense of itself. 

     Lessons learned in pursuit of art are lessons that pertain to almost everything we experience.  Art is not separate from life; it is the very description of the lives we lead.  (101 Things to Learn in Art School).

     What is aesthetics?  Strickly speaking, aesthetics is not the same thing as the philosphy of art.  Aesthetics is a much broader term, not just referring to created artwork but to matter of taste in general.  The word encompasses any sort of sensory perception.

     In short, the the study of aesthetics, as we understand it today, is concerned with how our judgements of taste relate to our language, our minds, and our surroundings.  

     Think about the Mona Lisa.  It is probably the most famous painting in the world.  Is it your favorite painting?  Why is it so famous?  Why is it work so much?  If you saw it for the first time today and had never heard of it, would you find it beautiful?  Instead of blindly accepting the standards and traditions of our culture, a little philosphizing will challenge us to justify our beliefs about beauty and the arts!  (Daily Book of Art, pg 9).
