The Color Diaries

Noisy color?

Ok, here's another question,  like when I asked the color of time? September 13th... Well, what about the sound of color or the color of busy, noisy sound?

Depends right? Quiet, noisy, jazz, hard rock, classical?

Romance and art...

MOMA had a screening...of Art 21: Art in the twenty-first century, before it hits TV! The one called Romance brought four artists together bringing the definition of romance into a new light...

Here's what they said....

Romance,” the first hour of Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century, Season 4, poses questions about the value of pleasure in art and features artists whose works are extended meditations on mortality, love, reality, and make-believe.

Boy, i get to go to some of the most fascinating things!

Himalayan Hues

Just went to the Rubin Art Museum Nine Rivers Gala after party benefit last night and fell in love...again with Tibetan art and the way they juxtapose (love that word) colors together in prints and watercolors. Amazing combinations of delicate and strong mineral pigments were used on fabrics and paper.

Here's a little description for you (yes, I cut & pasted)...

Bon: The Magic Word is the first exhibition of art to illuminate the Bon, a religious and cultural group living in the Himalayas and Central Asia—a group almost unknown in the Western world. Bon culture and religion pre-date the northern advance of Buddhism onto the Tibetan Plateau in the 7th century. Despite Buddhism’s growth in popularity since the 11th century.

This exhibition will identify a substrate of belief in the spirits of place and natural formations—mountains, sky, rivers, stones, and lakes—springing from Bon that runs through the edifices of religions in the region. It will also begin to train the eye to see distinctive Bon features in the arts of the Himalayas and surrounding regions.
