In a 2018 interview with @itsnicethat, Berrío stated: “I would like for my paintings to reveal that being Latina is more than being an issue over immigration, that there is a prism of culture and humanity that is often glossed-over, if not neglected completely.”
July 24–31, join us for a (virtual) “Writing Salon” workshop. Led by @TaraCampbellCom, we’ll be inspired by Archibald John Motley Jr.’s “Portrait of My Grandmother” (1922) and translate our reflections into flash fiction.

For today’s #MuseumMomentofZen, Ruth Asawa’s “Spring” from 1965.
In 1965, Asawa received a fellowship residency at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. She spent two months there embracing and experimenting with lithographic techniques (something she had not previously explored) under the guidance of skilled printers.
Asawa drew to explore artistic concepts as well as a way to continuously sharpen her observational skills.
["Haru," 1965]
The method appealed to Asawa’s fascination with line, variation of pattern, and spatial relationships that grew out of her training in drawing and design at Black Mountain College.

Transcribing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere using distinct brushstrokes of brilliant color, Monet creates a balanced composition repeating the blues, greens, yellows and whites in both the man-made and natural surroundings.
On May 7, 1873, many of these same artists issued a press release from Monet’s living room, stating the group’s intention to exhibit their artworks independently.
