"Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea." John Ciardi
Someone sent this my way last week and it rather rings for me. Appropriate timing, since this weekend I attended a really lovely gallery opening for a pinup art show at Gallery Nucleus (in Alhambra, near LA). Great, great place, if you ever get the chance. Anyway, they had some pinup greats in attendance, including the inimitable Olivia De Berardinis, Jim Silke, my old pal Dean Yeagle, and a new find named Glen Orbik, among others.
The show runs through 28 Feb (2011) and I highly recommend it. I'll probably go back.
