Patrick Heron is another new to me artist. I’m guessing the 6 here, refers to the composition number not the content. But I could be wrong…
Six in Light Orange with Red in Yellow by Patrick Heron (1970)
Stuart Davis is a new artist for me but I love the energy in this piece.
Hot Still-Scape for Six Colors – 7th Avenue Style by Stuart Davis (1940)
All pieces this month are from the 20th century.
Since I chose 5 last month… and I’m still giggling over my second post of horse butts, I decided to go with 6 this month. PLUS I realized that this year six of posting about art.
Lake Geneva with six swans (Genfersee mit sechs Schwänen) by Ferdinand Hodler (1914_
All works this month are from the 20th century.
Last 5 for August… Featuring the Harvard Universal Classics… or the Dr. Eliot’s Five Foot Shelf
The New Five-Foot Shelf of Books by Allen Ruppersberg (2001)
This image reminds me that my grandmother bought this set of books for my father when he decided to go to college (the first person on that side of my family to do so). I think they’re still in storage at my parents’ house, if marauders haven’t chewed them up.
This time 5 refers to time of day.
Five A.M. by Edward Hopper (1937)
Speaking of Hopper, have you seen story about the newly found art work by 9 year old Edward Hopper, drawn on the back on his report card? Amazing!
I was reading something regarding the Jazz collections at the Library of Congress and realized that I had confused Max Roach & Buddy Rich somewhere along the line. Yes they are both amazing jazz drummers, but they have really different styles. What always makes Buddy Rich stand out for me is that he was the inspiration of Animal on the Muppet Show AND they played a drum battle together in 1980.
Enjoy
My search for fives found a painting by van Gogh that I wasn’t familiar with!
Still Life Vase with Five Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh (1888)
My grandmother would have loved this one.
