LivingHome Lowell Nesbitt Iris
No artist could match Lowell Nesbitt for what he did with irises.Wikipedia on Nesbitt
LivingHome Ken Kesey
"I'm for mystery, not interpretive answers. ... The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. So they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."

LivingHome William Eggleston
Source: http://tr.im/lzNA
"Eggleston''s photographs rely heavily on ironic formal juxtapositions, with the added consideration of color. His work also depends on the banality of his subjects: the familiar people and places of his native Memphis and northern Mississippi. Like snapshots, his photographs are candid and commonplace, though they lack the snapshot''s posed artifice and sentimental associations. Instead, Eggleston relies on straightforward documentation to effect a cool, often uncanny, distance between viewer and subject."

Apartment Therapy on art trends: BIG
Great post from our fav home decor site: Apartment Therapy. These art trends support our notion that you should download high-res free art from the Web and have Kinko's or an online poster printer create a big statement with it. By the way Apartment Therapy, please expand to Minneapolis, our town, this year.

Art watchers as part of the art
Although photographer Andy Freeburg's photos are not downloadable as wall art, his site is worth a visit. Link
His explanation:
In the art museums of Russia, women sit in the galleries and guard the collections. When you look at the paintings and sculptures, the presence of the women becomes an inherent part of viewing the artwork itself. I found the guards as intriguing to observe as the pieces they watch over. In conversation they told me how much they like being among Russia’s great art. A woman in Moscow’s State Tretyakov Gallery Museum said she often returns there on her day off to sit in front of a painting that reminds her of her childhood home. Another guard travels three hours each way to work, since at home she would just sit on her porch and complain about her illnesses, “as old women do.” She would rather be at the museum enjoying the people watching, surrounded by the history of her country.

LivingHome Soviet Fight Against Religion Poster
LivingHome Soviet Fight Against Religion Poster, originally uploaded by LivingHome Wall Decor from Kim Garretson.
I'm a huge fan of Soviet political and propaganda posters, and this one, from the Library of Congress Digital Archive, is called "Christmas puppet show; the fight against religion is the fight for socialism" The description is: "Anti-religious poster using images from folk theater and songs to lampoon the clergy and their alleged secret alliance with reactionary military leaders."
LivingHome Walker Evans Painting
Walker Evans, one of LivingHome's favorite photographers, was also an amazing painter. Although, Wikipedia seems to have missed this fact.
