"The Philadelphia Museum of Art is currently showing a retrospective of Arshile Gorky’s work. Closing in January, the exhibition includes “creative chambers” which explore thirty years of Gorky’s artistic evolution in still-life, from Cubism to Surrealism. After it closes in Philadelphia, the show will travel to Tate Modern and LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art."
I stumbled upon Barahona Posollo's work thanks to Kimber's post on friendfeed.
From his website:
Born in Lisbon in 1967
BA in painting from Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon with a rating of 18/20. In 1995 he taught in the school as an assistant university invited. In 1995 he taught in the school as an assistant university invited. He studied Architecture at the Technical University of Lisbon from 1986 to 1989. Collaborated with the post of Portugal in the production of documents for the issuing of stamps, especially the series to commemorate the 5th Centenary of the Voyage of Vasco de Gama. Collaborated in the first nine numbers of the Portuguese edition of National Geographic Magazine collaborated in the first nine numbers of the Portuguese edition of National Geographic Magazine
His paintings are divided into several collections, including most importantly the Museum of Setubal, Banco de Portugal and CTT.
I absolutely love Possollo's use of mythical themes and erotic imagery. His symbolism is uncommon and yet I found it so appealing. All the references to death and libido struck a chord with me, and I guess it all goes back to my obsession with Antiquity, Eros and the Afterlife.

"Narrated by actor and art collector Steve Martin, this film traces Hopper's varied influences, from French impressionism to the gangster films of the 1930s. The documentary uses archival photographs and film, new footage of locations painted by Hopper in New York and along the New England coast, and interviews with artists Eric Fischl and Red Grooms, scholars, and curators. The film was produced by the National Gallery of Art and is available for purchase in the Gallery Shops. This film was made possible by the HRH Foundation. (3 mins.)"

"The unforgettable works of the Colombian painter, sculptor, and draftsman resonate with thought-provoking political and social commentary. His exaggeratedly rounded forms depict the comedy of human life – moving or wry, baroque in expression, sometimes with a mocking observation, sometimes with a deep, elementary emotion".
"Drawn
exclusively from Botero’s private collection, the 100 works featured in
this exhibition, including previously unpublished paintings and
drawings, represent the full scope of his oeuvre from a uniquely
personal perspective. Many of these—portraits of friends and family
members and remembered scenes—have remained in the artist’s possession
since their creation, while others he has bought back over the years as
markers of significant developments in his career". (FAC Website)
