WORMHOLE

No pictures edited from the Fringe yet. Soon. The last few days' pictures around the Grand Basin in Forest Park have had the greensward of Art Hill in the background, so named because the art museum is at the top. (Duh.) Today we step inside. This woman looks willing to enter another dimension through Donald Judd's Untitled while a nifty Frank Stella "protractor" painting provides the warp drive.             

Frank Stella Does Not Belong To The Mickey Mouse Club

On the wall beside the Donald Judd work Madeleine examined in yesterday's post, our art museum displays a painting by one of my favorite contemporary artists, Frank Stella. This is an example of the striking style from his earlier career, sometimes known as the protractor series. 

Every time I walk past this I think of iconic Mickey Mouse ears. It draws me back to the days of the Mickey Mouse Club. Stella is 78, a bit old for that, but still that shape, the black outline. It makes me wonder.
