THE WIERDLETS ~ this delightful little creature is bear man, he is one of a troupe of 4 traveling performers who entertain their crowds with beauty, magic, music and charm.
The Bluebird by Agnes Martin, 1954 ~ “The enigmatic Agnes Martin, who spent parts of her life in this small mountainous enclave and died here in 2004, gained international acclaim for her spare, luminous canvases, fields of washy color traversed by delicate hand-drawn lines, generally in the shape of a grid. These understated works can carry a big impact, producing a meditative response in viewers and inspiring reams of appreciative criticism. Like many of the Minimalist artists with whom she is often associated, Martin could extract infinite variations on a theme, producing both small drawings and huge paintings that use the grid as their underpinning.”
