Art - David Hockney at LA Louver

It’s worth it - so worth the drive to Venice to experience 

LA Louver’s exhibition of 

David Hockney 

Something New in Painting

(and Photography) (and even Printing)…
Continued

The wondrous colour, the aha - look what he’s done - photographs on photographs, pictures of the paintings - the Paintings - 

so alive as if a ball can fall right off the edge 

crayon on canvas - fun! 

charcoal on canvas - a giggle! Once again, it's about space and time and cut outs of people, digital people within the mural.....it's as if we can jump right into the picture of the picture.

the space, the colour, the tipping the ball and blue onto yellow, the new blue and the new yellow as Louis Kahn would say.

the painting of a mirror - where am I? 

It all made me smile and think about my place in space. Thank you David Hockney

#quirkyLA - Or What I happened upon in Santa Monica - Louise & Aziz Farnam's art world

Original * Unique * Fun 

And I am just driving north on 26th Street when I am Gobsmacked by Louise and Aziz Farnam's creation. It started with one tile…13 years and 20 million tiles later they have covered the entire bungalow. I had to stop. So will you.

Queen Victoria's passion for photography began in the 1840's.
On view in this magnificent show are rare daguerreotypes, private portraits of the Royal Family, and a selection of prints by early masters of photography.

There are many photographs on view of which none are permitted to be reproduced which, of course, is correct.
 Please go see this exhibition and delight in the interior view of this family. The Queen produced nine children.
