ART AMBULATION: A WALK THROUGH MODERN PAINTING

ELEGANT BLOCK HEADS
Elegant Block Heads by Robert Froh in Barcelona It’s rare I tout the virtues of a living artist. In fact, the living artist I like the best is myself. That’s why I take up the brush and the graphite stick in the first place—to hand hew a “replica of my own Divinity.” So when I […]

After our work was done the one thing I wanted to see was the Cologne Cathedral. I have been there twice before. Once in 1987 and once in 2013. What drew me to it? Probably not the […]
