In the Agra area the Marigolds represent gold and are used to celebrate. Here is a link if you are more interested. www.indianchild.com/festivals/diwali-festival.htm

“Hilma af Klint: Visualizing the Spirit World (1900s)”
The Shokin-tei is a thatched-roof tea house, and is one of the best spots at Katsura Rikyu to view the garden. Three of its sides face the pond, and it's location allows for viewers to experience warm sun in winter and cool breeze in the summer. Katsura Rikyu, located along the Katsura-gawa, is one of three imperial villas in Kyoto along with Sento Gosho and Shugakuin. This 56,000 square meter complex was completed around 1658. Designed by Prince Toshihito of the Hachijonomiya family, and heavily influenced by Kobori Enshu, the layout and gardens of Katsura Rikyu are widely regarded as some of the finest examples of architecture and garden in Japan. A tour of the garden reveals the subtle details and thought that went into every aspect of this beautiful villa. Katsura Rikyu. Katsura, Kyoto.

Trespass, Helen Frankenthaler, 1974 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is offering a film program about women artists in conjunction with its exhibition of the Beaver Hall Group. Recently two films were screened together, one about Georgia O'Keeffe and another on Helen Frankenthaler. Though I'm familiar with O'Keeffe, the work of Frankenthaler was a revelation to me. Born into privilege in Manhattan in 1928, Frankenthaler began exhibiting her abstract expressionist paintings in the early 1950's. She is credited with inspiring a new movement, Color Field painting. One of her innovations was to work with very dilute pigment, first oil and later acrylics. When applied, these paints stained the canvas rather than lying on top of it, much as dye is absorbed by cloth. This allowed her to create very atmospheric effects. For Hiroshige, Helen Frankenthaler, 1981 The best part of the film was showing the artist at work. What struck me about her process was how restrained she was in applying her paint to the canvas. Whether she made a broad stroke across an enormous canvas with a mop-like brush, or licked a dollop of thickened paint off with a single finger, she was always looking for an instance of beauty, of interest. She allowed the properties of the paint to make their own magic. The Human Edge, Helen Frankenthaler, 1967 Said Frankenthaler, "What concerns me when I work, is not whether the picture is a landscape, or whether it's pastoral, or whether somebody will see a sunset in it. What concerns me is - did I make a beautiful picture?" Coming up in the film series are "Frida, Nature Vivant", "Finding Vivian Maier" and "Alice Neal". More information is available at the museum's "What's On" site.
