GETTING REAL WITH ART FORUM

Subject to reproduction constraints, here's my monthly pick(s) for best image(s) in Art Forum, in this case the April 2007 issue:

--for most effective photograph, Mitch Epstein (available viz an ad on P. 82)

--for most effective painting, Brenda Zlamany (available viz an ad on a page I'm too lazy to figure out for you coz it's in the midst of many pages of ads...). I've seen Brenda's work before -- it's nice to see her brushwork get better and better over time.

I do this exercise to let off steam because, um, I won't allow myself to think this way in poetry. I share it with you because if you must know, some ears can benefit from Moi's eyes...
