So yea today is my birthday and I been kinda negative about it, i know im just a kid still, but 24 is kinda scary for me. Well i figured i should scare some of you too by sharing pics from my very first birthday. I'm small and ready for cake!!!
Yesterday Shane and I checked walked over to the International Center of Photography to see photographs of the great 1920's actress Louise Brooks. Shane has been a long time fan of her films and rare elegant beauty, and since I have recently learned more about her I was very intrigued to see this collection of photographs. The International Center of Photography is a pretty neat place filled with many great black and white photos with a great history behind each and every one, but seeing the Louise Brooks photographs was a great treat. The color and warmth some of these photos had is something you can only see when you experience this for yourself.
She was a great actress with a great look, her most beautiful features are her long neck, wide big dark eyes, and elegant figure. She looked great in the flapper fashion of the 1920's and the hair was a glamorous addition to her unique fashion statement. Louise Brooks was a very symbolic icon then and more so now since so many are inspired by her films and beauty. Some of her most popular films include "Pandora's Box" and "Diary of a Lost Girl". These films are a wonder to watch and the exhibition is open till April 29th, a sure must see if you are a fan of this beauty.
Today i visited the BELLWETHER Gallery and saw some strange art, alot of stop motion animation mixed in with traditional animation. This was a cool gallery, Paulina Hollers and Brent Green were being exibited and the displays were great! I really liked this big clock tree in the middle of the gallery, it was cool because inside it was a little figurine watching a screen..=)
Following our visit to the BELLWETHER Gallery, we went over the JONATHAN LEVINE Gallery to check out David Choe's art. He had some great colorful pieces and lots of great paintings. Seeing his work made me want to try and experiment alot more with my painting. His work and style speaks for itself aswell as his unique style for various colors within a piece. If you haven't seen David Choe's work, you can see it here, and if you can make it to his exhibit at the LEVINE Gallery, then check it out, it is a must see!!
