I like art. You should, too... Background photo is a close-up of a work by Mark Bradford at the Hirshhorn. Portrait pic is a self-portrait from the 90's.

I was so excited when I spotted this work outside la Boqueria in Barcelona. I was sure it was by Invader, but now I'm not sure. I'd appreciate any input!...

Eduard Vuillard was laying the groundwork for future art styles. In this work, Dining Room..., from 1935,you can see the flattening of surfaces into shapes with little shading. I also love the monochromatic scheme...
