“When you pick up one piece of dust, the entire world comes with it.” -Zen saying
A selection of still-life paintings, mostly contemporary.
“There are four elements that ultimately determine quality and meaning in painting. One, the color you choose and how much. Two, where you put it; three, in what manner. The fourth is outside you, and that is life.” -Larry Rivers.

Great selection of still life paintings. A joy to see these all in one place. Thanks!
Great selection– Could just eat those Catherine Kehoe paintings, delightful!
Excellent show of still-lifes Frank. Thanks for putting this together. Also the thoughtful Larry Rivers quote, never heard that before.
great! thanks for showing! I’m glad there will be a Helene Schjerfbeck exhibition in Frankfurt in October … it is about time paintings are getting less noisy here in Germany… including my own 🙂 cheers Tanja
Well done! Thank you for this.
Wonderful to see this beautifully “distilled” collection of still life work, old and new. Reminds me why I am continually in awe of great painting. Nice to see Hollis Dunlap in there.
They just make you see/look in a new way. I’m hungry now to try a few myself! Thanks !
Wonderful Collection, a feast for the eyes, thank you !
Great blog
