Today‘s scores from the Little Free Library on the way to my 3 hrs of ballet. It‘s going to be a lovely day. It‘s warm already. On my walk home I‘ll visit another book swap. Then I have nothing to do for the rest of the weekend but I will grab a chai, go to the beach, drink champagne in my pjs and cook up a storm ready for more work lunches and ballet dinners. I suppose I best do a bit of housework too 😢 eg change the sheets.
pickI decided to throw in a nonfiction read about art. I found this one to be a very good read if you're not a well read art nonfiction reader. Plenty of information. I perhaps loved this read due to the fact I've seen many of these artists works and have visited some of the locations that were inspirational for these people.
pickOne of my friends from work recommend this #chunkster and it was truly a difficult, heartbreaking, eye-opening, entertaining read. It was interesting to be able to read about these women who strongly put their mark on history and art.
so-soMeditations and musing on art. What makes something art? What makes art good? Where is the cutting edge? I enjoy Perry's irreverent, playful ponderings.
He does a lot of hedging his bets, but I do sometimes disagree when he expresses a solid opinion - e.g. that we've reached the end of the road when it comes to innovation & pushing boundaries, or the emphasis on art school as a way in.
