Gino Hollander

I figured I would make a post about one of my favorite artists Gino Hollander. He is inspiring in so many different ways. His pieces are messy but beautiful, they come from what he is feeling, seen, experienced and turn out as wonderful works of art.

Art and the Artist - Gino Hollander is a documentary about his art and life.
you get to learn about the 28 years he spent in Spain and how he gave up film to become a painter.

It is an amazing film about an amazing man.

Snow

It snowed this morning here in Las Vegas, Nevada. Its still snowing as I type this. We don't see the snow much (off of the mountains) so I'm loving every minute of it. Every window is open so I can see the flakes falling.

In spirit of it, I made a Flickr set for Snow.

Berman

On Wallace Berman:

". . .all his images have about them a texture of tough bodily concentrated realism mixed with demonic funk-sense of the forlorn and violent eros of wanderers in the lush Los Angeles night of the '60s. . ."
-- Jack Hirschman
