Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for September 11, 2022

Frame-making is an art form in itself.

No lilies to gild

Just imagine all the holes cut out of the walls.

I like that exhibit.

In many cases that is the best side.

How do they hang them up?

Exclusive behind the scenes look at art

Wire they turned around?

But you finally get to read the provenance stapled to the back.

Could also be titled ‘Behind the Scenes.’

Very clever, Mr. B.!

Someone will pay big bucks for those and proudly display them in their mansion.

There’s more than one side to art appreciation.

What would have been a bit creepy, would have been a painting of the back side of someone’s head. You know, those paintings of people with the spots for the eyes cut out so you can peek into the next room with no one noticing.

I remember seeing an actual double-sided painting in a museum – displayed on a temporary wall with a cutout so one could see the “back” side. Might have been by Diego Rivera, although I can’t confirm that by quick internet search.

That’s actually quite ingenius Dave. Nicely done.

wow, this exhibit is outta sight…
