Matt Niebuhr is an artist living and working in West Branch, Iowa.

.../miscellaneous - is a personal journal, self educational in nature, containing notes and images that inspire me, or that I wish to learn more about - as such, it includes works by other people as noted with full acknowledgment and credit to authors and sources where possible.

I also share content of my own making that I think is worth sharing with a larger audience. If there is any work by others who object to having their work posted here, I will remove the content if so requested.

Love this work - first saw her at Grinnell College’s Faulconer Gallery.

My thoughts about that at the time…

Glad I picked up a copy of “Left Behind” at the time too….

This example in photography is the sort of “dialogue” that you sometimes recognize in the arts - interesting to consider.

Reminds me of a quote which I submit is spot on: “There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love. There are simply different ways of doing it.”  - Man Ray.

Swimming Hole. Near Weverton, NY
Later bulletin from Albert Grubel: two hundred and eighty people were killed in car accidents on Memorial Day, well over the newspaper prediction, and forty-one had been ‘drownded’ —three hundred and twenty-eight in all. A party had gone out to pick flowers, and one of the girls had strayed away, and they hadn’t found her yet, and bloodhounds had been sent after her. A little boy had also strayed, and bloodhounds had been sent after him, too.

…”so real, you’d think it’s not just a drawing but an actual photography.”

- ouch - double ouch to both drawing and photography!
