OOF by Ed Ruscha at Tate Modern in London

OOF

Just one word. “OOF” feels like sound, impact, humor, and pain at the same time. It doesn’t explain anything. It just hits.

When did art last move you?

Capture it before it fades.

Art experiences are fleeting. Capture the artwork, write one sentence, and keep the moment in your art journal.

That simple habit is the idea behind artjournal.ing.
