summer detour

notions… prescriptions of limited use.. collected, not curated Divert yourself into the much larger world of the recent past. Drive by the encamped Republiguts at the ShakeShack. Snap the band instead of taking a drag off that drivel forum.

books are time travellers, links are not.

and, never open a post with weather.

Picasso’s working phases: the Blue Period (1901-1904), the Rose Period (1905-1907), the African-influenced Period (1908-1909) and Cubism (1909-1919).

” I started painting in blue when I learned of Casagemas’s death”, -Picasso … not based upon the cost of paint; a matter of other choices

“Showing up to everything you can is the first step… talk to the galleries who show work that you like, ask them questions about their program, and learn what they’re interested in. It’s really about continuous engagement with people and building relationships, which doesn’t happen overnight. But, the more you focus on it, the more you start to see those results.”
