In today's NYTimes there is an article about Maurice Sendak . 

A quote I particularly liked: -

So he spends his days pondering his heroes: Mozart, Keats, Blake, Melville and Dickinson. He admires and yearns for their “ability to be private, the ability to be alone, the ability to follow some spiritual course not written down by anybody."

I miss Mark Morris' big pouf of hair but I still love his work.
I enjoy listening to him discuss his method.

At Apex Art in NYC a new show opened that was curated by Dave Eggers.
The show is called Lots of Things Like This
Here is a little blurb form the brochure:

"Why is it that so many of these artists aren’t so
great at spelling? And why is it that when they
screw up one of their words, instead of starting
over, they just cross the word out and write it
again? Many people would choose to start over.

Why is it important to many of the artists that the
drawings appear casual, even rushed? Is the loose
draftsmanship part of its appeal, in that it seems
more intimate and disarming? Is absurdity more
appealing when it comes across as humble?

What is the line between a doodle, a cartoon,
a gag, a work of fine art, and will there ever be
a time when someone doesn’t insist on writing
a similar kind of silly and rhetorical sentence in
an art catalog?"
