Born on this day, American Surrealist painter Gert Born on this day, American Surrealist painter Gertrude Abercrombie. (February 17, 1909 – July 3, 1977)

Called "the queen of the bohemian artists", Abercrombie was involved in the Chicago jazz scene and was friends with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan, whose music inspired her own creative work.

She was know for her surreal and dream-like imagery. “I am not interested in complicated things nor in the commonplace, I like to paint simple things that are a little strange.”

Tate presents a rare chance to experience two of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms. These immersive installations will transport you into Kusama’s unique vision of endless reflections.

David Hockney captured the unfolding of spring on David Hockney captured the unfolding of spring on his iPad, creating 116 new and optimistic works in praise of the natural world.

Made in the spring of 2020, during a period of intense activity at his home in Normandy, this exhibition charts the unfolding of spring, from beginning to end, and is a joyous celebration of the seasons.

Opening exactly a year after the works were made during the global pandemic, this exhibition will be a reminder of the constant renewal and wonder of the natural world – and the beauty of spring.

Iranian born American artist Ali Banisadr discover Iranian born American artist Ali Banisadr discovered in the Benaki museum’s permanent collection a sixteenth-century ceramic incense burner with a Persian inscription from Padnãma, the Book of Advice by the poet Farid-al-dīn Attãr (1145/46-1221). 

“I had actually made a painting with this blue in the past called Language of the Birds,” an allusion to the title of another work by Attãr that Bansidar loved. 

“It’s about this legendary bird named Simorgh, which is actually my Instagram name.” 

Banisadr first discovered the story as a young boy. “I don’t know. It somehow stayed with me.” 

The tale recounts the journey a flock of birds takes in order to find their ideal sovereign, the great Simorgh. “They want to find him because he has all the answers.” 

The journey is long and perilous and only thirty birds reach their destination, a lake where they see the great Simorgh in their own reflections. 

The divine leadership they were seeking was within them all along, as the name Simorgh reveals. 

“Simorgh in Persian means thirty birds. And so conceptually it [the vase] worked, and then visually I thought it’s very similar to my blue and white paintings, so why not include it in the show somehow. And then it became a larger thing, to include other vases.”

Like Wassily Kandinsky, Ali Banisadr is a synesthe Like Wassily Kandinsky, Ali Banisadr is a synesthete and experiences the environment through multiple senses!

“When I start working on a new painting, the sounds are loud and not in tune with each other and then it ends up becoming about me taming the painting in a way, harmonizing the sounds and making the orchestra, finding a rhythm.”
