back in business…

After a hiatus of about a month (???) I am back at TUMBLR, posting pics of paintings that I really like and I consider important.  I hope you enjoy them too as I will try to be consistent and rigorous with the time I devote this space.

New Beginnings in Villa del Sol

The offer made to the residents of Villa del Sol by Dr. Ibarra is outstanding.  The President of el Colegio de Medicos Cirujanos, by giving away 17 cuerdas of precious land for the new community, deserves our respect and admiration.  His dedication can be only praised by imitating his goodwill.  At fournier:arquitectura csp, we will offer our services gratis to help accomplish his dream of freeing the good people of this makeshift community of the despair that accompanies the uncertainty of being deprived of your home. En horabuena!

The moment passed (in 2 parts) by Peter Halley (1989). Day-glo acrylic and roll-a-tex on canvas 97.8 x 95 in. Peter Halley was always an enigma for me within these rough times.  Everyone was spreading paint like there’s no tomorrow and Peter was putting tape on his canvas!

Haunts by Gregory Amenoff (American, b.1948) 1980, Oil on Canvas52” x 62”  I wonder if I would have continued painting after 1992, if my paintings would have looked like this.  For all I could swear, Greg Amenoff was German! (He is from St. Charles, Illinois, hmm?)

Oral history by Meyer Vaisman. Ink on Canvas (processed inks)Size 90.6 x 109.8 x 7.9 in (1988)  I remember Vaisman’s work as retrograde: ink drawngs, portraits, caricatures - all of this in cameo shaped raw canvas…very strange!!.  Meyer Vaisman was born in Caracas, Venezuela (1960), studied at Parsons School of Design and currently lives in Barcelona and New York.  He is represented by Sonnabend Gallery.

Growing by Keith Harring, 1988 I worked on Park Avenue South and 22nd in NYC.  One day, while going to lunch (near 20th St), I saw a line of “crawling babies” on a construction board fence.  I was curious just enough to think about it for the entire lunch hour.  That afternoon, at the subway station at 23rd St, I saw a jumping dog drawing, made with chalk on a black poster(the kind used by the NYCTA to cover old ads).  Now, I was totally fascinated by the thought that the drawings I had seen that day were done by the same artist.  Anyway, two days later, I ripped the poster away.  It was after all a drawing by soon-to-be-famous Keith Haring.  This was back in 1979. Or was it in 1980? I still have it with me.
