2 Georgia O'Keeffe #paintings new to me:
Her 1938 snail entitled "Red Hill & White Shell." Very foetal.
"Grey Lines with Black, Blue & Yellow" (1923) which parallels her morphological sexual/vagina iris works. Surprising 🌈 pop 🎨

Not the Jetsons, not Elon's Mars or Alien's Nostromo, this is how Argentine artist Gyula Kosice imagined diff. future habitats beyond Earth in his #Retro-Futuristic immersive #art series called "Intergalactic" & "Hydrospatial City."

Alberto Giacometti's iconic, elongated sculptures are meant to reflect human fragility, WW2 trauma, existential despair, & the horrors of the Holocaust. Also, human resilience & the search for universal truth in the post-war era.

Had a blast seeing the new Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Klee, Giacometti tour from Berlin's Berggruen museum
I loved our MFAH permanent exhibits more. New-to-me #art by: Rene Magritte; O'Keeffe; Monet & Manet; de Kooning; Lempicka; tons of John Singer Sargent! A room of Pointilists NTM outside Seurat!
Took one look at this from across the room & knew it was by Tamara de Lempicka! I've studied the #ArtDeco queen long enough to know her signature style & women.
"Her Sadness (Sa Tristesse)" 1923 is a portrait of Ira Perrot, a French poet who was Tamara's muse & lover. #Painters #Artsky #LGBTQart
"I'm Still Standing," Elton John.
Isolated figures reflecting postwar existentialism; solitary, alienated, shredded to nothingness, but still standing. An inspiration for #cPTSD recovery & #MentalHealth
"Grande femme I," Alberto Giacometti, 1958. #ModernArt #ECK #ColorADay #RedWed #Photography
Thx to @bsky.app's new upgrade: here are 10 paintings that caught my eye from Singer Sargent to Turner to crazy Pointilists, surely the masochists of the #Art world w their thousands of tiny dots.
I knew Seurat but not some others like Henri-Edmond Cross. The brush strokes are mesmerizing up close!
