He painted that in the mid-seventies.

(A full decade after he ordered the "War On Puberty" to slow down the "Copulation Explosion" )

My grandfather took up painting as a hobby at age 80. These are two of his works.

He turned 80 that year. The chances he had ever heard of Iggy Pop are slim and none.

which, sadly, is at the Art Institute of Chicago. (Alas, Hopper sold it to them, since he needed to make a living.)

When I look at C.M. Coolidge's Brown and Bigelow series, I'm amazed at the amount of detail Coolidge worked into these when he really didn't have to.

Like most of her paintings, this one done from a photograph she took; Grace learned photography from her father in the 1880’s.

Pollack’s One: Number 31 at the NYC MOMA. Walk slowly toward it; then backward. The energy embodied within it’s frame is amazing. “Energy is Eternal Delight”, said Blake. He was so right!

https://www.moma.org/collection/works/78386

Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Proto-cubists. The women are eery, captivating. They draw you in like Greek sirens, holding you and holding and holding. Also at the MOMA.

https://www.moma.org/collection/works/79766?artist_id=4609&page=1&sov_referrer=artist

Matisse, La Musique. 2 women sitting in a comfortable garden, one playing guitar. Sheet music on the floor. Colors, composition make it a masterpiece.

https://www.henrimatisse.org/the-music.jsp

Some might say it’s dorm room art. But what can I say?, it’s great art!
