The Isley Brothers: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space. Bobby Carter | Aug. 18, 2021 Before the Isley Brothers played "That Lady" during this Tiny Desk (at Home) concert, lead singer and founding member Ronald Isley shared two stories about the song that perfectly encapsulates the scope of their nearly seven-decade career. "It reminds me of going way back, when we had Jimi Hendrix living at the house and playing. We went on to meet a young fellow by the name of Kendrick Lamar who sampled the record and we got a Grammy award for it." At the Tiny Desk, we've hosted shows from superstars and legends – but our home concert series has now officially reached new heights. Shot at their home studio in St. Louis, Mo., Ronald and his brother Ernie stand front and center, performing just a slice from a catalog overstuffed with classic anthems. (These four songs alone have been sampled or covered by over three hundred artists.) They kick things off with 1983's quiet storm essential, "Between the Sheets." As a nod to the late Notorious B.I.G., Mr. Biggs opens with, "I like it when you call me Big Poppa" – from there, they fire off three more hits, including the immortal "Footsteps in the Dark" and "For the Love of You." The Isley Brothers have eclipsed legendary status – their music is an intrinsic, indelible part of American culture. Watching Ron and Ernie play with as much enthusiasm as they did 30, 40, 50 years ago is an awe-inspiring sight to cherish.

Happy World Elephant Day!

"Learn of the elephant" (in process)
54"x54"oil on linen 2021

Hope that you have had a marvelous #WorldElephantDay !
Posted are in process images of my latest elephant inspired painting. I support the efforts of the @sheldricktrust as they strive to create a world that believes all elephants deserve to roam wild and free, safe from harm. Not just on #WorldElephantDay, but each and every day.


As those who follow me know, I first became aware of the fragile nature of our planet as an elementary school student. For Christmas one year, I asked my parents for the book “Wildlife in Danger” published by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) They are still an important organization providing information, plans, and hope for our endangered earth. Worried about the environment as a kid, I drew pictures of animals constantly. Now I am bringing out a series of paintings, to be exhibited at @theotherartfair in Los Angeles at Barker Hangar in September 2021, that shed light on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and our place with other species.

Notes on Technique:
Ghosts of earlier ideas appear within my artworks and combine with other transparent moments to create a semblance of movement, of time passing. I build a combination of shadow and illumination in each painting to create a sensation of light emanating from the work. I work with oil paint and usually create at least one color in each painting from ground pigments mixed by hand with linseed oil. Linseed oil has the propensity to grow more transparent with age and visible traces of earlier painted marks gradually appear because of this tendency — called pentimenti. I embrace this eventual outcome in my work and incorporate planned and unplanned pentimenti in my process.

Cocktails with a Curator: Guardi's “Regatta in Venice" and "View of Cannaregio Canal in Venice”

In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” set a course for 18th-century Venice as Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon discusses a pair of “vedute” (views) by Francesco Guardi. Displayed on the third floor of Frick Madison alongside works by Tiepolo and Rosalba Carriera, Guardi’s pictures present a lively city with color-coordinated boatmen, laundry hanging from balconies, and liveried attendants greeting dignitaries. This week’s complementary cocktail is the Sgroppino, a Venetian refreshment dating to the 16th century. To view this painting in detail, please visit our website: https://www.frick.org/guardivenice

Happy Birthday Rachmaninov

🎹 «La musica è una calma notte di luna, un frusciare estivo di foglie, uno scampanio lontano la sera, nasce solo dal cuore e si rivolge al cuore. È amore». Nasceva oggi nel 1873 Sergej Rachmaninov. Un momento del preludio n. 6 dall'Op.23, suona Valentina Lisitsa 🎹 pic.twitter.com/T4IBkzoowd
