“It has never ceased to thrill and amaze me, the magic of what happens when you put one bit of paint next to another.”—Wayne Thiebaud

We are deeply saddened by the passing of artist Wayne Theibaud. He made the most of his 101 years on earth, and will be immortalized by his incredible body of work. To celebrate his life, linger a bit at Candy Counter (1962), currently on view.

Ad Reinhardt was born #onthisday in 1913.

Reinhardt was an abstract painter active in New York for more than three decades. He considered himself a painter from a very early age and began winning prizes for painting in grade school. The artist is best known for his "black" paintings of the 1960s, which appear to be canvases painted black but are actually composed of black and nearly black shades. These paintings ask if there can be such a thing as an absolut. Reinhardt called them "ultimate" paintings and claimed to be painting the "last paintings" that anyone can paint.
