ART LOVE

This is a journal where I put things that move and delight me, art and words and I even include one of my own paintings when I love it. I hope that my little bit of heaven inspires you.
I will always give credit when I post an image and if I reblog something that does not give credit I will delete it. This blog is only for pleasure and I mean no disrespect or harm. If one of your images is on my blog and you want it removed just let me know.
xoxo

‘It is only half an hour’ — ‘It is only an afternoon’ — ‘It is only an evening,’ people say to me over and over again; but they don’t know that it is impossible to command one’s self sometimes to any stipulated and set disposal of five minutes — or that the mere consciousness of an engagement will sometime worry a whole day … Who ever is devoted to an art must be content to deliver himself wholly up to it, and to find his recompense in it. I am grieved if you suspect me of not wanting to see you, but I can’t help it; I must go in my way whether or no.

pacegallery: amamblog: In the early 1980s, American poet Allen Ginsberg rediscovered negatives and drugstore prints he had taken over a period of 40 years and began to systematically reprint his old pictures and make new ones. As Ginsberg inscribed the snapshots directly onto the photographic paper beneath the image, the camera gradually replaced his notebooks as a way of record keeping. Louise Nevelson, New York, November 9, 1986 invites a viewing experience that oscillates between reading and looking and produces the kind of self-conscious observation Ginsberg aimed to capture and foment through his poetry or, as he famously said, “to notice what we notice.” Ginsberg’s understanding of life as sacramental informed his vision of photography as a way to preserve a fleeting moment. This photograph, taken at the first—and last—time Ginsberg met the artist and captioned sometime after her death in 1988, is a poignant and powerful portrait that both records and memorializes their meeting.Image: Allen Ginsberg (American, 1926-1997)Louise Nevelson, New York, November 9, 1986, 1986Gelatin silver print Charles Olney Fund, 2010.8
