legend, goat, icon. If there’s someone I’m never going to stop giving flowers to until the day I die no matter how annoying it gets, it’s Marisol. And maybe Larry David but that’s another rec. To describe her art practice in a few sentences would be to butcher its true mission, as I think is true of most art practices, but to not try at all would be even worse. She created to understand herself, her place in the world. Her style was a hard-fought-for realization of her personality. A mix of pre Colombian folk art, classic sculpture, and the Pop Art scene that was happening around her, the works feels futuristic and ancient at the same time. Honest work, funny work, confounding work. And when she was at the height of her recognition in the 60s, all anyone wanted to talk about was her being hot and a friend of Warhol. Then everyone stopped talking or caring about her. Also when she was at her career peak, she went by 1 name like LeBron or Rihanna. Absolute legend. I’ll never forget seeing her sculpture “Love” for the first time in an Art History lecture. RIP to the goat

one of my favorite artists of all time!! most well known for the spiritual abstractions she painted in the first half of the 20th century. she was a member of the Transcendentalist Painting Group, whose goal was "to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual." the work below is from 1926 (!!!) and is titled The Fountains.

If you have any kind of outside space (even a balcony or ledge) this is the perfect project for those who are uncertain about their shit right now. I found out that if you do the right steps, and have the right conditions, your seed will 100% germinate and turn into a beautiful flower. It may not turn out how you expected, but that’s all part of the fun.
