Fernand Leger was an early colleague of Picasso and Braque, but his use of bold colors, cylindrical forms, and heavy brushstrokes prompted a critic to call his work "Tubism." His later mechanical-looking work was influenced by Futurism and became an inspiration for Pop Art. This is a later series on sunflowers where he continues to juxtapose organic and man-made forms.

Where did I find this? Not sure.
Why do I have it? I just love the graphic.
What do elephants have to do with thumb tacks? No idea.
Enjoy.

Flowers, in celebration of the birthday of Victorian painter Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. One of his most famous paintings, The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), depicts a party during the short, four-year reign of this emperor who was known for s*x scandals and religious controversy and was described as a "debauched psychotic." [sound familiar?] Again I'm afraid this painting isn't exactly celebratory. It depicts weary, drunk guests, following one of the emperor's banquets and or**es. Through false panels in the ceiling, he dropped rose petals, ultimately suffocating all of his guests as he watched with amusement. This painting was commissioned in the winter, so Alma-Tadema had numerous shipments of roses sent from the French Riviera so he could capture them with complete accuracy.

Happy New Year! Flowers, in celebration of the birthday of photogrpaher Spencer Tunick. How fitting that Spencer Tunick was born on New Year's Day and has made a career of photographing people in their birthday suits. One of the highlights of my twenties was posing for one of his pictures with a hoard of people at a gas station in Chelsea. We hid a stash of clothes on a stoop around the corner in case someone stole ours.

Flowers, in celebration of the birthday of French artist Felix Vallotton. Oh how I love the vibrancy of the orange in this painting. Vallotton captured all the romance, politics, tension, humor, and excitement that was fin-de-Siecle Paris, but with such visual economy. I've been a fan since High School, when I included postcards of his work from a nearby gallery in a collage on my wall.

Most of my colleagues who teach college students understand the challenges with getting them to turn on their cameras during class. We've spent the whole semester talking to our students into the digital abyss, only to get to know them by their voices and their work, and confirm they are present via periodic polls. How surprised was I, when, on the last day of class they asked if I could set the video software to show the maximum number of participants on a page and to give them a countdown. 5...4...3...2....1 and this is what they did.

Flowers, (look closely) in celebration of the birthday of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. These studies for a mural are on my Met itinerary of works to stop and see on each visit.

to an exhibition I designed at the New York Transit Museum called "From Fulton Ferry: Building Downtown Brooklyn."
This exhibit traced the impact transportation has had on Downtown Brooklyn for more than 350 years, from the first ferry to the present day. Housed underground in an authentic 1936 subway station in Downtown Brooklyn, the Transit Museum offers changing exhibitions as well as a rotating selection of twenty vintage subway and elevated cars dating back to 1907.

Ok, ok, she's turning into a tree, not a flower. But this has been one of my favorites since visiting the Villa Borghese in Rome when I was 16.

Flowers, in celebration of the birthday of David Bomberg. Bomberg was a British painter, and part of the Whitechapel Boys, a loosely knit group of Jewish artists and writers in the beginning of the 20th century. During a difficult period in his life, his wife, Lilian Holt, a painter in her own right, brought him home flowers to paint and lift his spirits.
