lucian freud – koos breujkel
looking at my archives, i found this very moving image of the late painter lucian freud. it’s called lucien freud at the grave of his dog. beautiful. by pp.
vuk vidor – art history
i might have already posted that work from vuk vidor few years ago, but that’s so good, everytime i see it i think it’s brilliant. my favorite: “gilbert owns george”, and on another plan: “sherman owns herself”… which is not so true anymore, mac owns her now see post by pp.
S is for Saturday, and for THE SUPREMATISTS
some nice pieces by kasimir malevich, more famously known for his “black square”. they speak of the still boldness that enlivened russia’s 1915 movement of suprematism that he founded and brought to life. i can think of at least one person who should relate to these. by kl
cindy sherman, just being herself… for mac
looks like MAC is veering off the pretty-glam-path with talk of an upcoming partnership with gareth pugh, and also in a collaboration with their new covergirl, cindy sherman (you should know who cindy sherman is by now, garath too for that matter) who, for the limited-edition collection has taken MAC’s motto of ‘power of transformation’ for her own interpretation by creating one of her signature characters per color story. interesting. i love cindy, and am sure this is not meant to sell, but to reinforce that MAC is not afraid to play. and neither should we. by kl
DONALD JUDD – 101 SPRING
donald judd building on spring street is being renovated at the moment, scaffolding are hiding the beautiful cast iron building where the artist applied this theory: each floor should have one purpose: sleeping, eating, working… and nothing else here. nice booklet documenting the place in a more intimate way here! by pp.
Dirty Faces by JKB Fletcher
british hyper-realist artist jkb fletcher, has done some very minter works which isn’t so cool because she’s so specific,,, and earned her spot after many yeas. but here he paints sensual superhero-themed woman, nice. he says, “my paintings address questions of whether photorealism is anything more than a photograph with oil based paint. using ‘reality’ and sensuality to provoke thoughts and sensations of physicality and beauty.” which sounds a little like art magazine jabber, but the paintings are gorgeous non-the-less. by kl
Annie Morton: heads and tails
model annie morton photographed by juergen teller bit over plucked on the eyebrows but fabulous otherwise. if i’m not completely off here, i think this is part of the series that juergen took when he was married to / or with the incredible stylist venetia scott and thanks to her encouragement he photographed his castings just straight on. i have the book somewhere buried under others and its too late to double check so don’t quote me on that. by dd
