I've been locked away in my studio and I can't seem to answer my important emails or post on the blog very much this week. I'm trying to finish some paintings and the only way to do it is to block out the world!

Good Ol' Charlie
I've been locked away in my studio and I can't seem to answer my important emails or post on the blog very much this week. I'm trying to finish some paintings and the only way to do it is to block out the world!
Today it actually snowed in my town which is very, very rare. It usually only rains here in the winter. It was nice to see white for a change.

Fruit Crate Label Bed
"Italian Landscape" painting by Amy Crehore.
I always loved the vintage labels on fruit and vegetable crates, cigar boxes and soup cans. Here are a couple of links to places you can buy them or just look at them:
Lou Reimuller not only plays hokum music and invented the Teenar, but he also makes useful things out of ready-made objects like this Fruit Crate Label Bed he designed (seen above).

Hannah Hoch's Plush Dolls
Hannah Hoch 1925
I love these plush dolls by Hannah Hoch. They were shown in the recent Dada exhibit that travelled from the National Gallery in D.C. to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. I'm sorry to say that I missed the exhibit, but I am now enjoying the book, "Dada" by Leah Dickerman.

A fez is always in fashion. Why not wear a fez in 2007? Here are a couple of examples of high fashion fezzes from
"Trust me, when you wear one of our fezzes you get a lot of questions... or at least a lot of questioning looks. This one says "Yes, I realize that I am wearing a Fez! Can't you see I have some serious drinking to do? Go throw yourself on someone with lower standards and less style!"
A hokum band called The Fabulous Daturas had the right idea back in 1977!
(Yes, that is Lou Reimuller, creator of Teenar, Girl Guitar in the middle.)

Backstage, Lulu and The Bather
"Backstage" painting by Amy Crehore (Little Pierrot Series-fine art print)

Rene Magritte, "The Bather" 1925
Happy New Year! I'd like to bring in the new year with Magritte's painting, "The Bather" 1925.
This painting was thought to be inspired by none other than the thoroughly modern Louise Brooks ("Lulu" shown above). Both images wonderfully represent the Art Deco period. For more photos of Louise Brooks and Ziegfeld Follies girls try this link: empousa.multiply.com
