busier than blue soup

last month i rather wished i was in madrid, taking in the tintoretto show at the prado. this month i'd rather be in boston, where edward hopper's best stuff is on display.

after cézanne art is hopelessly boring, diffuse and vapid—apart from these four:


edward hopper (the lone figure in the landscape)
walter sickert (always vital)
risko (a fantastic portraitist)
dr suess (an utterly original illustrator, and pure joy).

I'd always, always rather be in Florence - gazing at Botticelli's works.

Have you heard about pepe smit? Weird stuff, totally deranged, but somehow good.

I'm a Richter fan, especially his IG. Just beautiful.
