pic of the day 101-200 https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/ pic of the day 101-200 2/2/14 this is a detail of one of the pieces in the Serra show at Gagosian. It is small about 8 x 8 inches and I love these little areas on the sculptures which are majestic in size and at times also graceful in form. Details like this are an aesthetic influence on me. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189104613 189104613 2/3/14 My Mom, the silver fox whom I love with all my heart. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189139278 189139278 2/4/14 This is my Dad, whom I also love with all my heart, as well as the rest of my family. They all have been a huge influence on me with their love and support, and I can't think of anything to be more thankful for or inspired by. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189171402 189171402 2/5/14 This is a picture from the RIchard Serra show at Gagosian. These are solid steel plates standing vertically in an arrangement in the room and each plate weighs thousands of pounds each and there are about thirty of them. Even with the immense presence of them they strike me as paintings, a field of paintings. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189201701 189201701 2/6/14 this is a detail shot of one of the Serra pieces at Gagosian. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189234723 189234723 2/7/14 So I was greeted with this visual monstrosity waiting for the F train subway on the train platform this morning in Manhattan. Top to bottom, end to end whole car subway advertisements covering the exterior sides of the train except for the windows. It is the same advertisement for Jaguar automobiles on every car of the train, with a huge British flag right in the middle none the less, in NY! I am wondering when NYC is going to get it together and start commissioning artists to do artwork on the subway trains. The ugly, austere sardine cans on wheels that are the NYC subway trains are now being made to look even more butt by being covered with advertisements, come on now! Let's do better than this NYC. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189263502 189263502 2/8/14 a new painting of mine titled "NY Winter Nights" acrylic paint, and oil paint on wood panel, 12 by 12 inches https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189301193 189301193 2/9/14 this is a new painting of mine titled "Grappling with Miro" acrylic paint, oil paint, and spray enamel on wood panel, 12 x 12 inches https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189327738 189327738 2/10/14 this is a new painting of mine "Night Waves" acrylic paint, oil paint, and spray enamel on wood panel, 12 x 12 inches https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189373061 189373061 2/11/14 one more from the Richard Serra show at Gagosian. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189408688 189408688 2/12/14 the geometry of the architecture in this picture is fascinating to me. The angles, the oblique lines are simple yet determined. Needless to say I would be less than enthused coming home and seeing the girders installed onto my building holding it up. This is in the Chelsea section of NYC. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189441521 189441521 2/13/14 this is the countryside in Bulgaria, about 2 hours East of the capital Sofia. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189479427 189479427 2/14/14 In the spirit of Winter this is the hut of the hermit St. Ivan in the Rila mountains of Bulgaria. It is in the Southwest area of Bulgaria. He lived in this hut which was built into a cave for 50+ years in the tenth century. He gathered such a following that they built a huge monastery at the base of the mountain in the tenth century. The monastery has been destroyed and rebuilt many times over the centuries due to the Ottoman empire and the long history of war in Bulgaria as the country is the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and close to Russia amidst the Balkans. The Rila monastery and the St. Ivan hut will make up the images of the next couple days. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189505205 189505205 2/15/14 This is the side of the main dwelling area of the St. Ivan hut and you can also see storage rooms built into the cave in the back. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189535639 189535639 2/16/14 this is the main chamber in the St. Ivan cave hut which is only 12 x 12 feet. It is the room that has frescoes, and they are over 600 years old. The rooms are dark and small and no flash photography is allowed. The other rooms were a prayer chamber and a bedroom. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189566770 189566770 2/17/14 This is an exterior wall to the Ivan hut. The hut is a pilgrimage area for many Bulgarians and it is custom to leave prayers, or thoughts written down on paper and folded into little packages in the wall. If you look closely you can see the little pieces of folded up paper in the wall. Bulgarian people also hang these little notes from trees. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189600883 189600883 2/18/14 This is the Rila monastery aka base camp for the St. Ivan hut. It struck me as more of a fortress as it had fortifications complete with dwelling chambers surrounding the courtyard area. One entrance in the front, and one at the rear. This image is taken from the front entrance tunnel looking into the courtyard where the church is, which is the building with the contrasting black and white tiles. There is also a large bell tower next to the church which was used for religious purposes but also as a warning signal. Supposedly the bells can be heard for almost 25 miles and were often used to warn of approaching raiders as the monastery is in a strategic position amidst a pass in the Rila mountains. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189634937 189634937 2/19/14 This is one of the many frescoes that cover the interior of the arched exterior of the church at Rila monastery. I think it may have something to do with the life of St. George who is a revered persona in Bulgaria, and whom has a national holiday in his memory, which incorporates eating lamb. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189676155 189676155 2/20/14 a new painting of mine titled "Rio de Janeiro Disparity" 12 x 12 inches, acrylic paint and ink on wood panel 2014, $400 -the motivation for this painting is a new multi-million dollar World Cup soccer stadium being built in Rio de Janeiro (which a number of workers died at due to un-safe working conditions) amidst the numerous and expansive favelas, which are shanty towns rife with crime, and oppressed by dehumanizing poverty. I have not been to Brazil. What I am going on is what people have told me that live there, and images as well as films. Here are a couple good movie references "City of God", "Waste Land" a documentary on the artist Vik Muniz, and "Witness:RIo" which is an HBO documentary. My favorite being "Waste Land". https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189712407 189712407 2/21/14 new painting of mine "NY Spring Mornings" 12 x 12 inches, acrylic paint, and oil paint on wood panel, $400, 2014 https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189742963 189742963 2/22/14 new painting of mine "Lanzarote Basalt Gas Bubble Cave" 30 x 24 inches, acrylic paint and oil paint on wood panel, $750, 2014 https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189774682 189774682 2/23/14 new painting of mine "The Dark Side" 24 x 18 inches, acrylic, oil paint, ink on stretched canvas, $600, 2014 https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189805287 189805287 2/24/14 full moon at dusk over Broadway Junction, Brooklyn, NY. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189833487 189833487 2/25/14 So walking to work this morning I noticed that somebody, not me, had taken the time to make and post these notices on every telephone/electrical pole, and street lamp pole along my walk to the subway and other areas in my neighborhood. At first I thought wow somebody really made these and plastered them all over the place, and while making this a pic of the day may seem kind of brash I got a chuckle out of the fact that somebody had actually removed one of the "#fuck it and whatever" pull tags at the bottom of the sign. Every once in a while starting off the day with some nonsensical randomness and a dash of humor is a good thing. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189864161 189864161 2/26/14 the duck pond at sunset, Central Park, NYC https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189894119 189894119 2/27/14 Florence taken from the Piazzale Michelangelo. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189926342 189926342 2/28/14 main entrance to Il Duomo, Florence. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189956996 189956996 3/1/14 "Perseus slaying Medusa" by Cellini in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189979905 189979905 3/2/14 looking out onto the Tuscan countryside from Florence. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190013427 190013427 3/6/14 This is a picture taken in Istanbul. It is looking from inside the Hagia Sophia towards the Blue mosque. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190140008 190140008 3/7/14 This is the interior of the central dome in the Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. The most amazing aspect of Istanbul to me is the history of the different cultures that have been present there. An excellent example of this is the Hagia Sophia and it is evident in the Byzantine architecture with the dome and arches as well as the artwork. The Byzantine angelic figures in the corners, and the Arabic script in the central ring at the apex of the dome. The aesthetic of the calligraphy in that script is quite interesting to me. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190164183 190164183 3/8/14 people fishing off of the Galata bridge in Istanbul. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190193951 190193951 3/9/14 Istanbul-I kept thinking of the J.R.R. Tolkien character "Treebeard" looking at this tree. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190222295 190222295 3/10/14 Blue mosque, Istanbul-I am all about conveying positivity with traveling experiences and while Istanbul generally speaking is secular I did not have a good one at the Blue mosque. I had people harassing me and more so them trying to give the girl I was with a hard time whistling at her and saying shit under their breath from the get go. I had somebody in the mosque as I was trying to respect their customs tell me that my tattooed arms were disrespectful in English. My response was 'well if you see it that way I don't know what to tell you'. I covered my heart with my hand which is supposed to convey best wishes and was left alone after that. The biggest thing that struck me is that the women must worship in cages in the back of the mosque. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190259829 190259829 3/11/14 on recent trip to MoMA with my brother Dan we were able to check out some excellent pieces, one of my favorites being "Starry Night" by van Gogh. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190294265 190294265 3/12/14 one of the amazing open spaces in MoMA. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190325336 190325336 3/13/14 Yoko-Hagi Okegawa Do Gusoku samurai armor from the Edo period (17th-18th century) This is one of the perks of my job, being able to see artwork that I would not usually be able to see. This armor suit is one of many interesting pieces of artwork being offered for auction at Christie's during Asia week. The estimate for sale is $15-20 thousand. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190358148 190358148 3/14/14 Red sandstone stele of Vishnu. 12th century, estimate $30-50,000 in the Asia week sale at Christie's. It is 4.5 feet high by almost 2.5 feet wide by a foot deep. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190387737 190387737 3/15/14 street shrine in NYC's East Village for people who have lost their lives trying to gain freedom in the Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainian people are able to do so with as little violence as possible, as there has already been too much. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190409706 190409706 3/16/14 This is a Gerhard Richter painting at MoMA. It is a unique one. I have never seen a painting by him with partial text and the dark humor that is going on in it. The title is "Death:Tote". It made me wonder if he is referencing "The Wizard of Oz". https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190447470 190447470 3/17/14 so as I left work today to grab some lunch I was greeted with a lovely surprise as this band "21 Pipes and Drums" was staging on 48th Street in Manhattan for the St. Patrick's day parade. They were playing some tunes warming up and these lads and lasses were excellent. The sound of bagpipes always gets my blood pumping and my adrenaline flowing and the accompaniment of the drums was invigorating. Happy Saint Patrick's Day everybody! https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190479979 190479979 3/18/14 another artist whose work I often like, Zao Wou-Ki, title "04.02.68" oil on canvas, 26 x 22 inches, painted 1968, being auctioned at Christie's estimate $1-1.5 million https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190519742 190519742 3/19/14 Another artist whose work I dig. Chu Teh-Chun. The calligraphic style is impeccable. Anybody who has developed a handstyle can appreciate it, or should as far as I am concerned. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190556462 190556462 3/20/14 The guy who works the counter at the local bodega does these drawings and puts them up near the cash register. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190590022 190590022 3/21/14 My friend Charles Lear holding up a piece of art residue from one of his stage performances. You can purchase his latest book "Post-Apocalyptic Macbeth and the Girls" at http://www.amazon.com/Post-Apocalyptic-Macbeth-Girls-Charles-Lear/dp/1478195592 It is an honest expression of a true punk rock dude putting on a rooftop play in Bushwick, before it was cool, and the bar in between. Besides being one of the originators of scum rock within the Tompkins Square Park crowd in the 80s in NYC, and a synth punk wizard Charles is also an author, playwright, thespian, theater director and designer as well as an expert on Shakespeare. He is a quality dude. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190622055 190622055 3/22/14 photo abstraction https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190657462 190657462 3/23/14 The Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, Spain. I have always liked his work, but being able to visit this museum is a profound influence on me. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190694282 190694282 3/24/14 this is the entrance to the Dali museum atrium, and the female figurative sculpture I like to think of as the Catalan mama. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190735300 190735300 3/25/14 Huge mural in the atrium at the Dali museum. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190771973 190771973 3/26/14 Something that is a enjoyable factor for me with truly admiring a piece of artwork is it intriguing me viewing it close up and from a distance. It is not a necessity for me to appreciate a piece. This painting by Dali at his museum is the epitome of the close up and at a distance viewing relationship. The vision that Dali exuded using the combination of representation, the female figure up close, and abstraction, the portrait of Abraham Lincoln perceivable from a distance is astounding. You should be able to see the portrait of Lincoln if you step a few feet back from your computer. Not only that but due to the color relationship of the squares within the mosaic pattern when you move towards and away from the piece, and side to side while viewing it the colors appear to shift. This is quite an amazing piece of artwork to me. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190805551 190805551 3/27/14 Dali museum-there is a whole series of works representing rock formations and incorporating the illusion of the figure. This one has a reclined female figure in it. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190844549 190844549 3/28/14 Dali museum-I am not much of a prints person, it takes a lot to wow me with them. I don't like the multiplicity of them. It seems too mechanical to me. That being said this is a Dali print that he also drew onto with india ink in certain areas. I like it. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190876602 190876602 3/29/14 Dali museum-another amazing Dali painting. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190908092 190908092 3/30/14 ending Dali week I thought I would share an image of one of the odder paintings at the museum. I am not sure who it is in the portrait. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190945302 190945302 3/31/14 black and white photo of an Agnes Denes piece "World of Thorns" at MoMA. It is plexiglas elements in a reflective box. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=190977220 190977220 4/1/14 So a police helicopter was buzzing around my building the other night. I went up to the roof to check out what was going on and then the helicopter came over and pointed their light at me. It was pretty crazy how low they were flying. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191016603 191016603 4/2/14 So I was at a pretty nice restaurant near Lincoln Center with my parents and brother a couple of weeks ago. It was a good time and the place had a bunch of artwork on the walls, most of which were posters from performances at Lincoln Center, and portraits of actors. I got a chuckle out of this one as it stood out a bit. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191050833 191050833 4/3/14 Some bizarre street art in my neighborhood, Bushwick, Bklyn. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191082482 191082482 4/4/14 more Bushwick street art. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191111891 191111891 4/6/14 So before I get sarcastic twist emails from my vegetarian friends about this mural on the side of a restaurant in my neighborhood, it is kind of hard to tell because the light wasn't that great, but there is a human in the stomach of the Orca. I don't know if that twist makes the theme any better, but there you go, some artwork I think is amazing. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191174205 191174205 4/7/14 more Bushwick street art, artist unknown. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191213991 191213991 4/8/14 mural by artist Mr. Smithe, in Bushwick. The wall is about 25 feet high by 250 feet long. The next few pic of the day will be of this piece. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191246930 191246930 4/9/14 pic #2 of the Mr. Smithe mural in Bushwick. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191281608 191281608 4/10/14 pic #3 of the Mr. Smithe mural in Bushwick. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191311868 191311868 4/11/14 this is the fourth and final picture of the Mr. Smithe mural in Bushwick. It is pretty amazing that one person was able to do this, and with spray paint. I don't think a lot of people realize how difficult it is to master the use of spray paint or to have what is referred to as "can control". Mr. Smithe is an artist from Mexico City. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191343586 191343586 4/12/14 So I was in Macy's the other day and saw these jeans. Sometimes artists will wear jeans like these that they have actually wiped paint off of their brushes onto the leg while working on an actual painting. These ones come pre-painted and have been marked down from $200 to $140. I am still shaking my head in disbelief. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191371266 191371266 4/13/14 Marty Brodeur, the goalie for the NJ Devils ice hockey team. In my opinion the greatest goalie in the history of the NHL. I was lucky enough to go to what may have been his last game tonight with my parents, brother, and sister, and sister's boyfriend, good times, and good memories. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191403989 191403989 4/15/14 Installation artwork by artists Katie Ruiz(painting) and Suki Valentine(chair sculptures) at their show at NY Studio School.

The amazing thing about these is that each strand of the lion's and cub's coats is a single piece of silver. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191622695 191622695 4/21/14 Sunset over the Frank Gehry designed Lewis Library at Princeton University, NJ. https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191663790 191663790 4/22/14 The lights on the New Jersey waterfront reflecting onto the Hudson River being looked at from Hell's Kitchen, NYC https://joe-egan-com.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=191697918 191697918 4/23/14 yours truly amidst an installation piece by the artist Yayoi Kusuma that I installed.
