Visited Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner’s studio today and got to walk around inside (in funny foam slippers). Lee painted on the walls and Jackson worked on the floor.

The painter makes patterns that invite the beholder to project remembered images upon them. The perception of images involves therefore the recollection of visual experience.E.H. Gombrich, Art and Illusion (via Sam Williams)
I’m not synesthetic and you probably are not either.
Samurai Tree 1M, 2006, by Gabriel Orozco
For a year, from late summer 2004 through early fall 2005, Orozco worked “shoulder to shoulder” with Picoli, who had not been trained as a painter. But once Picoli’s skills were finely honed, and the project of turning the Invariant diagrams into paintings had been firmly established, Orozco departed. The work of painting is now one that he delegates to Picoli in Paris and Christian Macia in Mexico City.
All the genius mythology that once went together with the studio—isolation, inspiration, struggle, ecstasy, despair—is absent in the making of Orozco’s paintings.

Untitled Fold Painting III by Tauba Auerbach
I made this my desktop so that I can I look at it a lot, and think I like it more every time I see it (though I don’t see it that often due to the number of open windows and tabs I am known for maintaining).

Oh MoMA, being cheeky when you go to the wrong screen.
Now you know that Ed Ruscha is useful in other situations than just making you look cool at work because he’s on your wall. Practical applications of art.
Love this.
