I knew, of course, that Sylvia Plath was a great writer. But she is also a strong visual artist. This substack post delves into her talent in that regard. (That’s her work, above.)
Not an artist, but their enemy: here’s the obit for the Gray Ghost, famous for painting over graffiti in New Orleans, including Banksy! A fascinating man. Also fascinating is museum met guard Greg Kwiatek and how working there for 25 years helped him make his own art. A third person who is fascinating is architect Yasmeen Lari.
Check out these Qualeasha Wood tapestries (above) at that link. They are amazing. I didn’t know of her work, but I am impressed.
Of course I know of the work of these two, David Hockney and Anselm Kiefer, both of whom have new work out.
