happy birthday, durer
Cheers to painting yourself at 29 and assimilating Christ. You can stroke that fur all you want, but that’s a blessing gesture if I ever saw one.
simpsons take on art
I mean, I will still always have “Nighthawks” as my favorite Simpsons art interpretation, but this Buzzfeed article is a pretty entertaining way to kill 5 minutes and learn some Russian paintings.
like, i can’t…
My jaw is still on the floor, so this I’ll set this up as a math problem.
Sarah Jessica Parker + Frank Gehry + Chuck Close = fanciest Washington dinner I was NOT invited to.
Like, what MORE do I have to do with this blog, Obama, to be a part of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities?! Whatever it is, I’LL DO IT.
Happy Tuesday: Let Doobie Brothers roll while you check out these public art projects. These two are my favorites, but see what you like with the full article here.

The Corcoran Gallery, near the White House, will be merging with the George Washington University and the National Gallery. Sooo, basically all my favorite things coming together…this is like the artistic equivalent of me shopping with Ryan Gosling while eating a Zero bar.
peggy guggenheim
Brace yourself. Another international family drama stews in the art world.
The Guardian reported two of Peggy Guggenheim‘s grandchildren are going against the Foundation for traduce, my new favorite word. Bai, slander.
The avid art collector, niece to Solomon Guggenheim, was able to keep her collection safe from German hands by fleeing to Paris during World War II. She designed Jackson Pollock‘s first exhibition in 1950.
And while it’s just ANOTHER situation of pitting family members against the foundation, this post is more interesting for its movie trivia:
- Peggy Guggenheim in 2000’s Pollock was played by the wife of Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams. If you build it, am I right?!
- Her dad, Benjamin Guggenheim, was on the Titanic. He’s is the old man ordering a BRANDY in his FINEST SUIT when the whole darn glass ceiling caves in at the end. Spoiler: Didn’t end well.
I digress. Here’s hoping Peggy’s collection can continue as a whole. I mean, I trust everything a woman does who can pull this look off. EVERY SINGLE THING.
