The RA Summer Exhibition is great fun!

Evening Standard gives it just *** & wonders where art is going.

Jonathan Jones from the Guardian gives it **** due to the big names: Emin, Sherman, Parker, Scully.

I think it’s just art reflecting life in all its glory & whatever the opposite of glory is.

Inspired by a Cornelis de Vos painting at the Wallace Collection & traditional Russian lubki, this print is both stunning and thought provoking.

Magical Thinking by Grayson Perry | Zimmer Stewart
Grayson Perry is a Turner-Prize-winning artist and national treasure, known for intricate narrative artworks that consider the biggest issues in modern society. For this silkscreen print launched in support of the Contemporary Art Society Grayson Perry chose the subject of magic.Magical Thinking began when Grayson encountered a painting by Cornelis de Vos at the Wallace Collection in London. In a graphic composition inspired by traditional Russian lubki, he surrounds his own version of de Vos’ unidentified subject with a constellation of words and symbols. The work’s title references the layer of mystical subjectivity through which we each engage with reality.Grayson worked closely with printmakers at Make-Ready in London to bring his vision to life. The result is a tactile silkscreen on bespoke textured paper with intentional irregularities – an homage to traditions from centuries ago, and a celebration of modern silkscreen printing.Details: A 7 colour silkscreen on bespoke 410gsm Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White Rough Textured M-R 100% cotton paper.Number 423 our of the edition of 1163Signed by the artist. Individually numbered with a certificate of authenticity.Unframed: 68cm (H) × 54.4cm (W)

Happy Thanksgiving! We are celebrating in Norman, Oklahoma.

Here is the 1928 cover of The Saturday Evening Standard by J C Leyendecker celebrating the 300th anniversary of Thanksgiving by painting our progress “from pilgrims to pigskin”.

What will we illustrate in 2028 I wonder?

Today we went to the Fred Jones Jnr Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma to see the Frankoma Pottery exhibit.

Founded in 1933 by John Frank the pottery became known for artistic homewares in their distinctive Prairie Green glaze.
