Art of the Day - Cindy Sherman Untitled 153

In order to be truly diverse in the art selection, I can’t only choose art that I like. I have never understood the appeal of many of Cindy Sherman photographs. I do not understand how her photographs can sell for millions, and this despite my love for photography.

This is entitled “Untitled #153”. It sold for $2.7 million, which at that time, made it one of the most expensive photographs ever sold.

Eva Respini, a chief curator, said of the picture: “Even when Sherman is in the photographs, she appears doll-like and artificial, as in Untitled #153. Reminiscent of a crime scene photo, the picture shows a dead woman lying on the ground and covered in dirt, her glassy eyes opened wide, as if shocked by her own violent demise. Unlike a police photograph, however, this larger-than-life glossy picture is full of seductive detail, with rich descriptions of the colors and textures of the gravel background, the woman’s mussed hair, and her waxy face."

Saturday Mircale

I am 47 years old, and for the first time in my life, watched a chicken hatch from the egg.

This was the best part.

Just surreal to imagine this process has been going on for hundreds of millions of years. Just like this. In nature.

And barely 21 days ago, this beautiful chick was literal goo.

It's beyond miraculous.

The other chick hatched yesterday but we all missed it. The full hatching took about an hour, but I cut the best best.

A. Art of the Day 
  • La Casa Azul, one of my favorite museums in the world as the lived-in home of artist Frida Kalho, whose artistic expression embodied the feel, the soul, and the physicality of her home turned museum, the deep azure of the walls, the mixed blues of the interior, the marriage of physical objects, food commodities, sculpted structures, the chill comfortable furniture, the welcoming rugs, the art deco lights, the open ceilings, the merger of outdoors and indoors, the native made wooden tables and chairs, the mix-match music of her patterned floors, and her own artwork interspersed throughout blended the place into a visit inside her own unique and wondrous mind.

Special Notices

 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Spirit of 76, the brilliant revolutionary fearlessness expressed by an Ohio carriage painter (Archibald Willard) after the Civil War to remind Americans of their deepest spirit of joyful revolution, the elder drumming away as the young boy mirrors his beat, and the middle aged American bandana-dressed letting his fingers dance on the flute, unaffected in spirit by the turmoil of the Revolution maintaining its spirit of resistance amidst its all, the flag still flying behind the smoke, the soldiers cheering, and the spirit marching onward.

A. Art of the Day 
  • The allure of the staircase, like bidges, doors, and windows, always attract my mind’s eye, as portals between worlds, accented here by the color pallete and structural designs of the art deco era a century ago, blessed by the glamorous dress pooled around the elegant woman moving between those worlds as she bidges the steps, champagne flue carefully in hand, with the past yet close and the future still beckoning.
