They looked worried for sure. I find it interesting how his signature is smudged. <BR/><BR/>The whites in the painting pop. I wish I could see more of his work. <BR/><BR/>Here's a site I just googled about him: http://www.nrm.org/<BR/><BR/>He really did win the hearts of Americans. It's interesting really to be that loved as an artist and to be so troubled like he was to become a Fine Artist vs. an Illustrator.<BR/><BR/>Labels are terrible aren't they?Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927666976994826064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620650603999720282.post-73685702825733840302007-08-16T10:07:00.000-05:002007-08-16T10:07:00.000-05:00I love that Norman Rockwell painting.

I'm not sur...yeah, it was good family time indeed. I'm not sure if it's the right place or not for an arts district but it seems to be the most logical place at the moment. Especially since there's the new library, MOCA Jax, and so on and so forth. If you wanted to think of the Miami Arts District, maybe something like Brooklyn in Riverside would be better since there are huge cheap warehouse spaces. <BR/><BR/>I'm all for an Arts District downtown though. Especially after seeing how the Skyway can be used to alleviate parking problems. <BR/><BR/>The assemblage work in the UF MFA show is strange. Forget the artist's name, but it's worth checking out. found objects, household objects, with little drawings, and on little shelves. all clean, and the subject matter was biomorphic in nature. reminded me of cellular growth. no subject matter. shapes, and colors. sort of out of a design magazine, with a retro feel, but new. really you should go next week for the free day and check it out Zac. sort of worth the drive I think. I had to see it twice before I liked it though?<BR/><BR/>yeah, Jax has a lot to offer. really was nice to do the two free museum days back to back. The Cummer is amazing. I find my tastes are leaning more towards the old the more new I see. There's just a, "How did they do that factor" that I don't get in the newer works.Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927666976994826064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620650603999720282.post-32020553359288088192007-08-15T21:27:00.000-05:002007-08-15T21:27:00.000-05:00That's awesome you had a great time taking in Jax ...That's awesome you had a great time taking in Jax art and culture with the family. It's cool that downtown has grown as it has, but I still wonder if it's the right place for an arts district.<BR/><BR/>Who did the assemblage work? Or better yet, what did it look like, what's the subject matter, what was the material? I've been working in mixed-media and assemblage lately and am curious as to what the artist did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
