Barbara of the Day: Babs Reingold

-
I'm taking this chance to let you know about one of the Barbara's I told you about in my Saint Barbara Project!
Venezuela-born American artist Babs Reingold creates sculptures, drawings and installations, focusing on the environment, poverty and beauty.
Artists Talk on Art Presents
"Elisa Pritzker & Babs Reingold"
Monday, April 11th, via Zoom at 7PM EST
Artist Babs Reingold joins Elisa Pritzker for a conversation about her work on beauty, poverty and the environment. Artist/writer Etty Yaniv in her magazine “Art Spiel” states:
“In her multilayered installations, Babs Reingold brings together drawing, sculpture, found objects, and at times, video, to create potent environments alluding to the body, the environment, and the passage of time ... Reingold’s installations inhabit spaces as an alternate force of nature and take a life of their own.”
TONIGHT Monday, April 11th at 7PM Eastern, via Zoom, is a part of the 2022 Artists Talk on Art schedule. 

Artists Talk on Art is now in its 48th consecutive year making it the art world's longest running and most prolific aesthetic discussion forum.

Here's some of her work.

I'm Keeping' on the Sunny Side

 Good Morning!  I was thinking about posting a reprise of an old post about PINK, to keep the Barbie vibe going; I understand that in London they've painted all the red telephone booths pink and the great Ferris wheel has pink lights in honor of Her Plasticness but I had a better idea--you could say the Sun came up! You know I have a granddaughter named Sunny, right? I wanted to do a drawing for her and what else could I start with? The Sun and sunflowers--not very original but she's two and a half--to her everything's new and it's her name! Filling in the sky I see that it looks like the way I draw water, but that's OK.  I added Batchelor Buttons beneath the Sunflowers and I like the way the blue makes the yellow pop.  I'm not sure how to handle the transition from flowers to sky so I won't think about it.  Remember Mickey Rivers; "I don't worry about what I can control because if I can control it why worry?" And I'm in control! I used som...

Our Thoughts and Prayers

What do we say when we see someone suffering?  What is there to say?  Certainly not, "I know just how you feel," or, "don't worry, time will heal," or, "It was God's will."   Often we say, "Our thoughts and prayers are with you."  And what does that mean, and what good does it do?  I've been thinking about prayer since I saw and wrote about Barbara Lubliner's beautiful prayer flags last week. I think a lot about prayer, especially at the times when I’m supposed to be praying and can’t figure out how to do it. I was talking with my brother, Alan, about a person we both knew.   “He’s so pretentious,” I said, “He prays with his head thrown back and his arms up in the air, just like a televangelist.” “How did you know what he's doing if you're praying?” Alan asked me. Theologian Frederick Beuchner  has said that if all we ever did was give thanks that would be enough for a lifetime of prayer. That may be true, and I've...

How Does Inspiration Come?

“One’s work is nothing but the long journey through life to recover, through the detours of art, the one or two great and simple images that first gained access to one’s heart.”                                                                                                       Robert Beverly Hale quoting Albert Camus The first time I heard this quote, at an Art Student's League dinner, I thought, "Well, that doesn't apply to me." I was deep into my bird period; drawing their feather patterns was great practice for my pen technique but I wasn't a bird watcher or anything.  Then I went home for a visit and my mother said, "Let's have a slideshow. She pulled out all the old family ...
