Robert Motherwell was born on this day in 1915 (d. 16 July 1991). Also born on this day: actor Ernest Borgnine (1917), televangelist Oral Roberts (1918), zoologist Desmond Morris (1928), singer-songwriter Neil Diamond (1941), and original-edition Not Ready For Prime Time Player John Belushi (1949-1982) -- which would have made for one heck of a surreal birthday party, circa 1977.

The Story Of The Artists: "originally told by the sufi, Rumi."
"Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build. They are designed to fit on an 8.5" x 11" page and printed with any printer. You'll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time."
Librarian Chick: "a list of free resources for students and educators... and anyone else who's hip to learning."

I wanted to repost that Motherwell image and then I came across this series of prints in our local library he did as "illustrations" for Joyces Ulysses. I might have missed or overlooked them if it wasn't for you. Thanks.
The One Sentence link was captivating too.
Ulysses illuminated by Motherwell -- now there's something I didn't hear in Art History class. I'm fascinated already.
Obviously you live in a civilized part of the world. From where I now sit in Chillicothe, your comment seems like a message from the Future. Here it's still the 1890s: art hasn't progressed beyond van Gogh & Cézanne (unless you count Norman Rockwell) and literature comes to a screeching halt with Mark Twain & H.G. Wells (unless you count Stephen King).
I look forward to seeing what you post.
