Day 14 Alexander Calder

An American sculptor known both for his innovative mobiles that embrace chance in their aesthetic, his static "stabiles", and his monumental public sculptures.

Calder preferred not to analyze his work, saying, "Theories may be all very well for the artist himself, but they shouldn't be broadcast to other people." - Wiki

Artist with wire portraits, Pyramids, Mobile, The Arch

Diane Arbus, a favorite, was one of the most distinctive photographers of the 20th century, known for her eerie portraits & off-beat subjects

Starting as her husband's assistant, soon eclipsing him. Not interested in photographic technology, interested in getting to know her subjects & photographing their reality

Day 12

Faith Ringold - I am embarrassed to say that I was unaware of this artist 'til her death in April. Such is the oppression of talent, guess why?

Painter, quilter, children's literature author, she is particularly celebrated for her narrative quilts.

Day 11 Paul Gaugin

A great artist surely, and a favorite, though running off to Tahiti to live with nubile young girls, and leaving a wife and 5 children behind, is not exactly noble. He's best known for his work in Tahiti, read his book "Noa Noa"
