I really enjoyed Google's banner today, a tribute to one of my favorite artists, Joan Miro, on his birthdate:

I'm no art expert and truthfully, know very little about the subject except that there are a few artists whose work I very much enjoy: Miro, Magritte, Chagall. I once lived with a sexually-ambiguous, unintentionally butch roommate who was obsessed with Kandinsky and, hence, subjected me to an apartment full of stark geometric prints. Blech. Another troubled roommate just adored her soft, romantic Van Gogh prints framed all in gold. Let's just say I'm very happy I live alone now, amidst my budding collection of authentic Cuban artwork (thanks to my sister's travels) and free to indulge my endless obsession with maps.
