The Rebellious Curator

Greenwich Village, New Yorker issue May 29, 1937 by Elen E. Hokinson(1893-1949)

At the time, Greenwich Village was a community of starving artists who painted street portraits of suburbanites for little money. The artists who lived in Greenwich were thought to be bohemians and outcasts who wore French berets and sandals and lived and worked in their studios. Oh how things change over time.. 

Haunted House by Jack Bush

I'll bet you never guessed this painting was painted by abstract painter Jack Bush who is well-known for his colourful minimalist abstracts. Interesting to note a completely different style and genre, which is encouraging to those of us who like to try new and different things. Feel free to step out of your comfort zone once in awhile.  

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, the hare and the cat. He has no real style, he just goes on trying other things." - Pablo Picasso
