    by Ang Kiukok I found the name but not a title. I will make this the last of the bummer pics I put up for a little bit. My friend died last week early Saturday. He will be missed, he was my hero, he taught me a lot. I say friend but he was a mentor, if you know you know, anyway, thanks man. I miss you. I am learning to dance to the record on the turntable. ❤️ #art #sadness #grief #loss #freedom #acceptance #alive #friends

    The Monumental Gateway of the Place de la Concorde, M.F. Bellenger, Exposition Universelle of 1900, Paris I saw a gateway to another realm or transition to a different existence. And bittersweet to watch them go, from outside. We are not invited, not yet! Go and be well ❤️ Until we meet again. #art #transition #passing #through #joining #theChoir #invisible #eternal #goodbye

    Kaleidos, Hans Hofmann, 1958 I hope this is huge, and is somewhere where it can pump its color magic into the human pinball machine. Maybe someone will see this on their screen today and think, maybe the world isn&#39;t such a bad place. Look at all the orange. 😎 #art #orange #abstract #expressionism #blocks #happy #alive #vibrant #harmony #texture #smile

    Garden in Provence, Vincent Van Gogh, 1888 I try not to post much Van Gogh or Monet because they&#39;re so well known and ubiquitous. But this I didn&#39;t realize was Van Gogh, although it didn&#39;t surprise me. He did amazing things with dark and light and shapes and strokes that I can see but couldn&#39;t reproduce. To me, there&#39;s something really natural about it, messy in the way that life is messy? idk I think it&#39;s amazing #art #mastery #line #form #expression #nature #love...

    cover for The Arabian Night&#39;s Entertainments by Andrew Lang, H. J. Ford, 1898 Love the way they made book covers in 1898. I haven&#39;t read all these stories so I don&#39;t know if the cover is illustrating a fairy tale. I love this demon flying over the wonderful city at night. It&#39;s available a lot of places including here: https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086670/00001/images/0 #art #illustration #bookCovers #old #gold #blue #demon #angel #wings #fairyTales

    Untitled, Lee Bontecou repetition and energy are cool. I like the beach on a gray day, wind and hooded sweatshirt and cool sand. Stinky knots of seaweed and bits of things washed up. The ocean has an eternal aspect. Over and over and over ✨ #art #grey #ocean #sea #wind #clouds #sun #waves #stink #alive #birds #headphones
