While taking the L train with everyone else this morning, I was more or less–how you say– incredibly cranky. With my face wedged in some man’s arm pit Lovable by Sam Cooke Came on my head phones–all my huffing and puffing was usurped by the melodic and dulcet tones of Mr. Cooke’s voice. I remembered at this point it was Valentine’s Day and though romance, sex, and being adorned in big fat rubies did cross my mind, of course my most pressing thought was my deep love for art….
One of my favorite “artists” are Christo and Jeanne-Claude and I thought it delicious to appauld them on Valentine’s day by sharing this wonderful film montage of them by Antonio Ferrera.
So today, amidst your day’s bliss or horror, dance along to Sam Cooke’s Lovable and remember how much you love artists too!
peace and more importantly love’

“Jeanne-Claude would say, ‘We do works of joy and beauty’,” Christo said, chuckling. “For me, anything that has meaning has propaganda. Is meaning art? Or isn’t art about aesthetics?”
