danny heller

i'm going to palm springs tomorrow. no, not really, but i might as well already be there. danny heller's work seems reminiscent of edward hopper, beautiful and lonely. paintings like this make me wish that i had enough money to buy art...

david oliveira

david oliveira, an artist out of portugal, does some amazing things with wire. this ballerina is a great example and is so evocative of degas. via: http://www.davidmigueloliveira.blogspot.pt/

betina levin

betina levin is an argentine painter, recently showing at artBA in buenos aires this past spring. these paintings come from a series entitled: espejos del río

i got places to go...

frank stella

frank stella years later still packs a minimalist punch. his larger more colorful works are perhaps more recognized but i love these muted, monochromatic paintings. simple perfection.

sara facio

sara facio. where have you been all these years? its seems taking iconic pictures of some of the greatest authors and artists of her native argentina and latin america. the range of her work is broad, compelling and direct. find these images and others on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sara-Facio-Fotograf%C3%ADas/188018197921796

frelimo

I'm really love graphic design from the 70s and 80's that is simple and direct, like these FRELIMO posters in support of the mozambican revolution. 

adrian villar rojas

adrian villar rojas hails from rosario, argentina and i'm loving both these pieces. monumental and dark. first, my dead family (2009) found in the forest of tierra del fuego and my dead grandfather (2010) at akademie der kunste in berlin. (via thisiscolossal).

piñata anatomy

found the perfect piñata from the carmichael collective via a facebook friend via thisiscolassal.com via laughing squid, the colassal is an awsome chicago based site worth checking out by the way.

adiós maurice

 

thank you maurice for creating such beauty....

between trains

lichtenstein

back in 1997 my mom and i went to see an opening of lichtenstein's landscapes in the chinese style at the museum of fine arts in boston. i loved them then and i love them more now. alas, my one print from the show went up in smoke in 2001 but, happy day, i must be living right because a linchtenstein retrospective is coming to the art institute in chicago next month. if you happen on the windy city in the coming months make sure to pass by, you won't be disappointed.

so someone keeps falling off the wagon, but here we are again...maybe we'll actually post something in may...
