EILEEN AGAR. Entitled, "Angel of Anarchy." I'm definitely in some type of strange mood....now I see Groucho Marx.

EILEEN AGAR. Maybe it's just the mood I'm in, but this just looks like the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, introducing an alien-ish friend. LOL

EILEEN AGAR. BLUE!!! Surprise, it says.

Each time I view this piece, I think of the Partridge Family and the opening theme to the show. While it was a mother bird and her chicks and this is a snail, it just has that 70s vibe to it.

Definitely no monster here. I love the colors and the glow illuminating from this figure.

"Monsters and Angels." Maybe from a dream? I hate having nightmares. Don't you?

This is clearly an apple, but when I glance at it, it looks like an apple being used as an ashtray and the stem is the cigarette. Then you begin to notice flowers, other fruit, leaves. Love this!

The thing that I enjoy most about art is the ability to transfer focus from one medium to another. Agar was known to use every day items to create pieces, such as this.

Something about this particular piece really speaks to me. I've been writing about the masks we wear to protect ourselves, and I guess this speaks to that idea.

She married Hungarian, Joseph Bard and they spent fifty years together, although it seems she had several romantic entanglements, all with other artists, throughout their life together. I love this somewhat whimsical piece shown here!

We will start the week with this painting. You will begin to see as I share that she was a fan of color, which of course. If you have not watched the short video on her from yesterday, I encourage you to go back and take a watch.
