I could never take good care of my brushes for them to last long enough to look this way.

Fireflies on the Water by Yayoi Kusama (2002) consists of a small room lined with mirrors on all sides, a pool in the center of the space, and 150 small lights hanging from the ceiling, creating a dazzling effect of direct and reflected light, emanating from both the mirrors and the water’s surface. Too see in motion, check out the video (Here)

Joan Miro, “Aidez L’Espagne (Help Spain)” (1937)

From Affordable Art:

Translated, the inscription reads, “In the current conflict on the Facist side I see massive forces, and on the other side are the people whose immense and creative resourcefulness will give Spain a vitality which will astonish the world.”

Executed in 1937 to protest fascism and rally support for the Republican cause during the Spanish Civil War. Miro was not generally considered a “political artist” and this was an unusual act for a cause dear to him.

1937 saw Miró’s invitation to the Exposition Internationale in Paris, at which Picasso premiered his “Guernica.” Miró created a mural, “The Reaper,” for this event, which served as an indictment of the atrocities of Franco’s armies during the Spanish Civil war. Unfortunately, “The Reaper” was lost when the Pavilion was dismantled, but some cite his “Still Life with Old Shoe” as from the same political vein. Miró himself would later say that “without my knowing it this picture contained tragic symbols of the period.” When he showed the painting to a fellow Spanish artist 30 years later, he told him: “The fork attacks the apple as if it were a bayonet. The apple is Spain.”
