Rubies
- Ruby – What better model to test out a digital camera. She’s our studio cat saved from the ASPCA by my brother and saved from other attack cats by me via an interim owner. A diabetic with a thyroid problem, she makes it entertaining (and ever hairy) in the studio. She came complete with her name and appetite and hasn’t met a box she doesn’t like.
- Yesterday I saw the exhibit at MOMA of William Kentridge‘s work. Little more than the film is there, but it’s a chance to see it in a theater, if you’re interested. I like looking at the large artwork, so the gallery show is more up my alley.
- While at the museum, I whisked through the members preview of the Edvard Munch show. He certainly had some deep emotional struggles. It’s obvious that he had a lot of difficulty in his life, and fortunately he had art to let it out. It’s interesting that a number of other artists seem foreshadowed in Munch’s work. There was one series of paiintings that looked exactly like some of Larry Rivers’ work. Tim Burton is present in a lot of the art, and I even felt like Emily Hubley was visible there. The one piece, of course, that wasn’t there was The Scream. Stolen and still missing even though they think they’ve caught the thieves.
