AGO put on a Joyce Weiland retrospective last year that included a few of her sinking boat paintings. She was an amazingly talented artist in a number of mediums.
“In the mid-1960s, Wieland began creating “filmic paintings” which follow a format comparable to a film strip or storyboard. On view in Heart On is a series of sailboat filmic paintings – including Boat Tragedy (1964) and Sailing Scene (1963) – which were inspired by Wieland’s time at The Ships Museum, a tiny museum in downtown New York. These paintings depict various types of boats, from sailboats to liners, slowly sinking frame by frame. Sinking boats and crashing planes became a motif in Wieland’s work during this period. On view alongside this series of filmic paintings is Wieland’s film Sailboat, which was inspired by these paintings.”
In relation to Thing 4, Giorgio Morandi ploughed a very consistent artistic furrow, painting the same collection of jars, bottles and vases for over 40 odd years, always in a limited, muted palette.

Horsle! Fiendish.

I think the best thing about the man trying to fly is that he’s wearing a collar and tie.
