Friday (Fine) Art

Multiplicity at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.  It's a must see if you love printmaking.  I've walked the gallery four times so far and still discover details and marks worth my attention.



I couldn't decide which image to post (I have so many favorites), so here's a sampling...

Banshee Pearls by Kiki Smith

Seven Day Diary (Not Knowing), Day Five by John Cage

 Savasan 10 by David Shapiro

Have a great weekend!

I haven't done one of these in a while....
This painting catches my eye every time I see it.  Although slightly dark in subject matter for late December (aka, happy holidays), Acupuncture Pitchfork Style uses repetition in a way I find pretty brilliant.  Love the crows.
