This blog is all about visual art in Texas. The blog as a whole was fairly easy to navigate but it seems very crowded at the homepage. There is so much going on that the eye almost seems to be overwhelmed. This blog posts everyday and it is an art and photography blog.

The article Return to Earth at the Nasher Sculpture Center is about a ceramic sculpture display there at the Nasher Sculpture Center. The title of this showcase was Return to Earth: Ceramic Sculpture of Fontana, Melotti, MirĂ³, Noguchi and Picasso, 1943-1963. The blog post was by Lucia Simek, who was very thrilled by all of the pieces. She speaks passionately about a few of the works in this showcase including Even the Centipede, which is a work of brown stoneware objects that have been fastened to a vertical wooden pole like vertebrae forming a spine. She also speaks about the above picture, entitled The Policeman, and how it looks as if a baton is dangling in the center, ready to be used.
