Forrest Moses, Irises, Monoprint.
"Profoundly influenced by Japanese aesthetics, Moses embraces the principle of wabi-sabi: the realization that things become more beautiful as they decay, age, and transition. In this way, the marks of his oil paintings and ink-based monotypes reference the practices and philosophies of sumi-e ink masters. He seeks, in his own words, "to discover nature’s truth and give life to a painted image by understanding the rhythms and pulses behind appearances.” As such, his works stress brevity and simplicity to magnify the intensity of his expressions—underscoring the importance of negative space or nothingness as a juxtaposition to objects that presently exist."

Georgia O’Keeffe was born today in 1887. Her first solo exhibition at MoMA was in 1946.
[Georgia O’Keeffe. An Orchid. (1941)]
Happy 127th, Georgia! Her 1946 MoMA show was the first retrospective they had ever held for a female artist.

Gustav Klimt, c.1905-06, Country Garden with Sunflowers
"All art is erotic." -Klimt
There's something sensual in these flowers. It's almost like you could trace out one of Klimt's figures in the tangle...
