reading and rhyming

Buzz Spector, All the Books in my Library. By or About Dieter Roth, 1999


Giuseppe Arcimboldo, The Librarian, 1566


Pablo Picasso, Guitar and Ceret, 1913


Picasso, The Guitar Player Cadaques, 1910


Kurt Schwitters, Merzbau, 1933


Casper David Friedrich, Sea of Ice, 1824

Visual "rhymes"—some of them are a bit subtle, but keep staring. Subject matter counts too; think human figure (head and upper torso) as monolith.

Son of Small Worlds

Philip Guston, The Ledge

Gerry Bergstein, Mound#4

Rene Magritte, Castle in the Pyrenees

Sorry, I seem to have writer's block right now. I think its interesting that many (if not most) people would rather read about art than look at it, which isn't so great for blog purposes. Oh well, try to enjoy anyway.

Small Worlds

Carroll Dunham, Solar Eruption

Roxy Paine, Bad Planet


Terry Winters, Color and Information


Nina Bovasso, Winter Mound


Nina Bovasso, Treehouse

Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison, Consumption


Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison, Exhausted Globe


Gerry Bergstein, Climb #1

Pieter Bruegel, The Tower of Babel

I'll have more on the ParkeHarrisons coming soon. They will be speaking tomorrow at a Cornell symposium entitled "Shared Visions: Collaboration and Process in Contemporary Photography", which I'll be attending. You can find links to a live webcast of the event here.
