Rarely Seen Art!

Yesterday I was stuck on a subway train. A train broke down in the station ahead, and there were trains behind us at the last. Unable to go backward or forward into a station, after quite a delay we rolled slowly, connecting to the offending train, then exiting by walking car to car through both trains. It was a perfect blog opportunity for tunnel art you never get to see. Ah, rara artis!

Spilling

I'm still worrying about the spill and its after effects. The long term prognosis is still so murky. Here are some recent images from Italian Vogue by Steven Meisel, an oily blue crab larvae from an article by Mary Tutwiler, the Lafayette Independent and my new film, Sibylline Fracture.

Focus on Kurt #1

I tend to be more interested in the blog than my compatriot so I've decided to raid his files on a regular basis and show you the results. He loves NYC and the parks. Here are three from our parks.

Prismatically Yours

The Wonderful Color Wheel by Jude Stewart in Print Magazine is a fascinating look into the color universe, specifically the color wheels and systems of long ago.

In addition check out Color Lovers and the full Creation of Color in Eighteenth-Century Europe, courtesy of the guttenberg Project. Of particular interest to me, was the section on words for color.

I think that the Japanese have many words for different colors of green. It makes sense to me that a culture so interested in nature would have words like "shin ryu" which refers to the color that is the bright acid green of new leaves.

For myself, an avid painter of safety cones, I love Pyrrole Orange and Cadmium Orange and Vat orange and Alizarin Orange and Permanent Orange and Coral Orange and Scheveningen Orange and Indian Yellow Orange Lake Extra.
