Black Chalkboard (Four Mouths) Erasure Series, 1993 by Gary Simmons. From a series of works consisting of smudged chalk on chalkboards. I first greeted this with an eye roll.... But it's grown on me. #pdxartmuseum #portlandartmuseum #garysimmons #chalk #chalkart #art #chalkboard
The Cliffs, 2016 by Sara Siestreem. Another painting from this month's First Thursday. Notice the patterns over patterns in her paintings. More to come. #sarasiestreem #augengallery #pearlfirstthursday #portlandart #art #firstthursday #painting #abstractart
Oannes et la Sphinx, 1910 by Odilon Redon. This is an odd little painting in the impressionist level of the Jubitz Building. I've never quite gotten a handle on it. #pdxartmuseum #pdxart #art #odilonredon #redon #impressionism #jubitz #paintings
Yet more smaller paintings from Sara Siestreem. Closer observation reveals pattern and method. #sarasiestreem #art #pdxart #firstthursdaypearldistrict #firstthursday #augengallery

Porcelain Figurines series by Martin Klimas. Untitled, 2006. These are a series of porcelain figures dropped from 3m, timed to be photographed at the point of impact. This was one of the great finds from this first Thursday. More to follow! #martinklimas #pdxart #blueskygallery #firstthursdaypearldistrict #firstthursday #firstthursdaypdx #photography #porcelain
Reclining Nude and Woman Washing Feet, 1944 by Pablo Picasso. This is not on display anymore. It was here a few months back making an Oregon tax benefit visit. #pdxartmuseum #picasso #pablopicasso #recliningnude #abstractart #painting
The Thatched-Roof Cottages of Jorgus, Auvers-sur-Oise, 1890 by Vincent van Gogh. A great little #vangogh on display at PAM. It's displayed next to the Oxcart. #pdxartmuseum #vincentvangogh #painting #impressionism
This is a Banksy that appeared when the snow cleared after the Sundance Film Festival a few years back. I believe the building owner put the plexiglass cover over the work. #banksy #sundancefilmfestival #sundance #parkcityutah #graffiti
The Gong is the Moon, 1954 by Alexander Calder. I've had a hard time getting a good photo of this piece, but maybe this catches a little of it's charm and beauty. #calder #alexandercaldermobile #alexandercalder #pdxartmuseum #gongisthemoon
#1, 1969 by John McLaughlin. I'm posting this after reading Tom Wolfe's Painted Word. Yes, two colors painted side by side, no real title, no explanation. Just beautiful clarifying minimalism. #pdxartmuseum #johnmclaughlin #tomwolfe #minimilist #redblack #painting #paintedword
