We are fortunate to have a complete set of lithographs of Frank Stella's Benjamin Moore Series, done in 1971. They are, to me, beautiful contemporary art, bold, colorful, minimal, elegant. This is Island No. 10, the green painting in the series. They are done in store-bought alkyd house paints on wove paper. There is more about the artist and the entire series in the links below.
Day 69 of my 366 Project
This painting is a 14 x 28 inch alkyd on canvas. It has been in a private collection for many years. This repost was tweaked a bit for clarity and a border was added.
Okay, I must confess that reposting old works seems somewhat egotistical. My purpose, though, is to try and acquaint those who visit my flickr offerings with some of what I posted years ago. This painting was posted to flickr eleven years ago. It was completed seventeen years ago. Most of my visitors have never seen the dozens and dozens of images of artworks that I posted a decade ago.
This is what I wrote about this piece when I posted it in 2003:
This 14 x 28 inch alkyd paintings is one of my most complex. It's what I call a "reiteration" painting in that it includes many images and themes that I had been working on up until that time. I've uploaded a quite large original image so that the details can be seen. Finally, when it was almost finished (after what I guess was almost two hundred hours of work), I said to myself, "Self, this painting has everything but the kitchen sink." Note the faint image on the wall at the extreme right. I painted in the sink so that Studio Time would have EVERYTHING!
I call this a "dreamscape" picture. It is a partly conscious partly unconscious, image from my imagination. It seems to have a meaning beyond what is simply depicted, but exactly what is not clear to me. I hope is that by looking at the image you will sense in it a "hidden meaning" of your own.
Please use my artwork freely in any way you choose, personally or commercially. Just post a comment to say how you have used it.
Polka Flight Postcard is 14 x 22 inches, an alkyd oil painting on canvas. This monster would never fly. That's what made it so much fun for me. The two bowlers were taken from a restaurant postcard that I will post to flickr sometime soon. A private collector is enjoying this painting in his home.
Reposted from 2009. While the file size is still somewhat small, I worked on this image to make it more like the original.

I uploaded an image of this 12 x 12 inch alkyd painting a number of years back. This detail is of the central subject, an artist working in plein air with exaggerated materials and changes in the scale of the scenery. Fixed up the image using Snapseed. The color here is okay, but not spot on. Not having the original to reference made it very difficult. Finally, this photo is somewhat larger than the original art.

Facts About the Ben Franklin Bridge
The Ben Franklin Bridge was opened on July 1, 1926.
The Ben Franklin Bridge was constructed by Ralph Modjeski, and designed by Paul Philippe Cret and Leon Moissieff.
The Ben Franklin Bridge was originally named the “The Delaware River Bridge.”
The Ben Franklin Bridge connects Camden, New Jersey to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and crosses the Delaware River.
The Ben Franklin Bridge is one of the world's largest suspension bridges. Currently 57th longest.
The Delaware River Port Authority owns the Ben Franklin Bridge.
In 2006, the musical GodSpell was performed under a re-creation of the Ben Franklin Bridge at the Walnut Street Theater.
There is a wooden replica of the Ben Franklin Bridge at the Independence Seaport Museum at Penn's Landing.
The Ben Franklin Bridge is a popular image in movies and TV. You can see it in the opening credits of the cable TV series “It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, and movies such as
Philadelphia
Blow Out
Twelve Monkeys
Fallen
Transformers 2
Rocky
Love and Dancing
The Ben Franklin carries more than 100,000 vehicles a day.
PATCO trains over the Ben Franklin Bridge carry 40,000 rail commuters a day.
The Ben Franklin Bridge lighting system helps the region celebrate events and holidays such as :
Pearl Harbor Day and Army Navy Game- Red, White and Blue
Christmas Day- Red and Green Hanukkah- Blue and White
Kwanzaa- Red, Green and Yellow Autism Awareness-Green
Breast Cancer Awareness – Pink New Year's Eve- Rainbow
Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, Sixers – team colors
The bridge is 8, 300 feet long from end to end.
The center span is 1,750 feet from tower to tower.
Each side span is 717 feet from each tower to each anchorage.
The Philadelphia approach to the anchorage is 2,000 feet and the Camden approach to the anchorage is 2,800 feet.
The bridge is 135 feet above the river. The towers are 382 feet tall, not 517 feet.
Total weight of the bridge is 763,491 tons, which includes structural steel and masonry.
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge was originally constructed with 70,851 tons of steel. In 1951, additional roadway lanes were created over areas that were reserved for streetcars/trolley operation. As a result of the modification, an additional 6,500 tons of structural steel were added to the bridge.
Workers installed an average of 200 rivets per day. Once tower sections were delivered to the bridge site, workers installed 145,000 rivets high above the river. 75% of the rivets were installed off-site. The total number of rivets could be in the neighborhood of 750,000 per tower.
It took 4 1/2 years to build the Ben Franklin Bridge.
Before the Ben Franklin Bridge, there was only one other crossing between Philadelphia and New Jersey, the Delair Ralroad Bridge constructed in 1896.
The bridge toll in 1926 was .25 for a car, .15 for a horse and rider and .30 for a horse-drawn carriage
The cost to build the bridge, not including improvements made since 1926, was $37,103,765.42.
When opened it opened in 1926, the bridge held the title of world's longest suspension bridge.
If all the individual wires inside the two main cables were connected end-to-end, the wire would circle the earth.
The anchorages had stations built into them to handle passengers using the trolley lines.
Two opening ceremonies were held for the bridge: the July 1st ceremony which opened the bridge to 100,000 pedestrians; and a second opening ceremony on Monday, July 5, 1926 for Calvin Coolidge, the President of the United States.
The bridge was designed to accommodate six lanes of traffic, two tracks for subway/elevated trains, two track areas for streetcar/trolley operation, and two walkways for pedestrians. The walkways are one of the more popular parts of the bridge for bicycle riders, walkers, and people jogging across the bridge.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin reported that the first traffic accident actually occurred before the bridge officially opened. Two individuals ran their car into the back of another car as they were attempting to get ahead in line as the bridge was getting ready to open to vehicles. The driver was fined $25.
This is a close-up of the main elements in this alkyd painting. The entire piece is 18 x 18 inches on canvas.
A very contemporary feel to this, the 1964 Dulux paints colour chart for home decoration. It really feels like the '60s are starting to swing and the brochure has a very modern look.. The brochure, printed by specialist printer's Matherson-Seling, has tear out slips of colour to allow you to compare colours and shades against each other and in different situations.
Dulux, a brand name still present on the High St, was part of the old ICI empire - Imperial Chemical Industries and the paints date from 1931 when ICI, and Dupont in the US, introduced them as one of the first of the modern alkyd based paints. Early marketing made havy play of the role of professional decorators but by the mid-1950s the shift to DIY saw the strapline "Dulux is a homes best friend" introduced and in 1963 the Old English Sheepdog first appeared. Here the hound is in a guard's helmet as he is 'on parade'. The shade card was obrained at "Brighter Homes" in Ealing, west London.
Ten years after completion, I’m seen here holding my 39 x 13 inch alkyd painting of an historic railroad bridge across the Maumee River some twelve or so miles outside of Toledo, Ohio. The folks who own the home I was at purchased it from me just two months later. It’s been twenty years now since I made this one. It is still a favorite of mine.
I made a whole bunch of corrections to this shot since it was posted originally. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been shown again.
The artist: Alexander Calder (Philadelphia 1898 - 1976 New York)
Palme (Mobile), um 1959
22 parts made of aluminum, traverses and eyelets made of iron, paint in alkyd resin.
Various colored elements of metal, glass, stone or wood were placed in a balanced game with wire or twine. The area, color, line and inertial mass combine in weightless dynamics in space. Palm conveys the extent of the large space, but also the gentle swinging of the fine-branched fronds in the wind. The red, Calder's favorite color, makes the warmth of the tropics noticeable.
22 Einzelteile aus Aluminium, Traversen und Ösen aus Eisen, Anstrich in Alkydharz.
Verschiedene farbig bestrichene Elemente aus Metall, Glas, Stein oder Holz wurden mit Draht oder Bindfaden in ein ausbalanciertes Spiel gebracht. Fläche, Farbe, Linie und träge Masse verbinden sich in schwereloser Dynamik im Raum. Palme vermittelt die Ausdehnung des großen Baumes, aber auch das sanfte Schwingen des feingliedrigen Wedels im Wind. Das Rot, Calders Lieblingsfarbe, macht die lichterfüllte Wärme der Tropen spürbar.

These are my new Open Acrylics. Golden has a suggested six color palette. They are in the closest row with Bone Black to the left. I use black sparingly, but do like to have it available. Many of the colors in the second tier will be used and perhaps not replaced. They were purchased before I discovered the basic six color scheme. In the last row I've got The five iridescent colors that are available in Open Acrylics. The two tubes on the right are Fine Silver and Stainless Steel Golden iridescent colors from their standard line. They can be mixed with the Open Acrylics, but will dry more quickly, of course.
I am determined to keep the number of colors down. In that way I can get the economy of buying the larger tubes. Also, I can now put several colors on my palette and work freely without having to worry about everything just up and drying within an hour. When I painted with alkyds I used a similar palette that W+N had suggested. It worked very well. See my notes about the colors.
Urbex Benelux -
Paint is available in many qualities, colors and types. Nowadays, in addition to the traditional paint based on linseed oil or alkyd resin , low-solvent paint, high solid paint (paint with a high solids content) and water-based paint, such as acrylic paint and latex paint, are also available for sale . The use of these types of paint is much less harmful, because a solvent such as turpentine or turpentine is missing. Turpentine is usually used as a plasticizer in alkyd resin.
This is an 18 x 18 inch alkyd painting on canvas which I completed in January of ‘05. This afternoon I discovered that I had never posted it to flickr. The painting is in a private collection. The border was added for presentation’s sake.

Over many years, Celmins has collected wood-frame slate chalkboards that were used by schoolchildren from the nineteenth century well into the twentieth. This sculpture features examples from the artist's collection as well as meticulous copies that she has closely matched to the originals, making it nearly impossible to determine which were found and which were fabricated. The pairings and the overall arrangement of these objects foreground their formal character--the nuanced monochrome colors of the original slate, the tone of wood, and the texture of the markings. Yet in choosing chalkboards as her medium, Celmins draws equally on their function, creating a work that highlights the relationship between recorded history and memory, the ways in which we transmit culture over time, and the losses and absences that are inevitably part of carrying the past into the present.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) was opened in 1935 under director Grace L. McCann Morley as the San Francisco Museum of Art, the first museum on the West Coast devoted solely to 20th-century art. For its first sixty years, the museum occupied upper floors of the War Memorial Veterans Building in the Civic Center. Under director Henry T. Hopkins, the museum added "Modern" to its title in 1975, and established an international reputation. In 1995 the museum moved to its current location, a large cubistic building designed by Mario Botta Architetto of Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum at 151 Third Street.
BIG DIP POSTCARD, 2001 | 22 x 14 inches | Alkyd Oil on Canvas | Steve Frenkel ( b. 1942)
This is actually an alkyd painting. That’s a fast-drying oil. The museum purchased it from Metro Montage III, a juried show about 18 years ago. This is the first time it’s been shown in one of the museum large galleries. That makes me very happy.

Rebus s'inscrit dans un corpus d'œuvres où Rauschenberg intègre des objets tridimensionnels à des peintures bidimensionnelles. Son ami Jasper Johns a inventé le terme "Combine" pour ces œuvres, les décrivant comme "une peinture jouant le jeu de la sculpture". Réalisée à partir de couches de matériaux du quotidien trouvés dans le quartier de son atelier du Lower Manhattan (bandes dessinées, affiches politiques, tissus et dessins), cette œuvre présente une surface plus plane et plus épurée que la plupart des Combines de l'artiste (cf. Moma).
