The LA area is on our minds. Today's new edition—painter Lindsey Warren's dusky 20x200 debut—embodies so much of the area's atmospheric allure, that unplaceable appeal locals know well. It only seemed right to reach out to someone suitably enamored of SoCal to intro this edition—like Knock Knock founder, author, and Angeleno Jen Bilik, who recently published her book This Is (Not) L.A.: An Insider's Take on the Real Los Angeles. Below, Bilik waxes poetic about Warren's work, the artist's ability to capture Southern California's singularity, and that...

Stop Talking by Martha Rich There’s some funny business going on at Art for Everyone HQ today, and we have comedy queen Jessica Vitkus to thank/blame. Once upon a time, the writer, TV producer, showrunner and art aficionado dropped us a line with a wacky idea: exploring the makings of a visual art + comedy meet cute through an in-depth look at art in the 20x200 collection. Below, Vitkus unpacks the happy-making humor in several...

We're grateful (and also a little amazed!) to have John Edwin Mason introduce today's powerful, legendary photograph by Gordon Parks. John's been hard at work on his book, Gordon Parks and American Democracy, and was a featured speaker at a Gordon Parks symposium at the Ulrich Museum in Wichita earlier this month. Today's edition is also a fitting followup to John's ingenuous pairing—and introduction—of two Marion Post Wolcott images that we released in the fall. Then, as now,...

It's an honor and a thrill to have design legend—and future 20x200 artist!—Debbie Millman introduce our very last edition of 2015. It's fitting as well, since it was Debbie herself who introduced me to Andrew Miller's ​Brand Spirit​ series back in 2012. (The very same year I had the great good fortune to be a guest on her amazing award-winning podcast, Design Matters.) Today's release, Macintosh, is our third from Miller's series of ingenuously enrobed...

We're sweet on April Walters and it's easy to see why. Her bright, ebullient donut paintings are downright voluptuous. As diehard donut lovers ourselves, we can't get enough of the way her work raises that humble fried confectionery to the status of stunning piece of art. Of course, we had to reach out to devoted donut aficionado and bicoastal builder of networks, Rena Tom, to welcome April to the 20x200 artist roster and give her two new editions the intro...

Helena Wurzel is back with her tenth edition! We tapped uber-fan and dynamite writer Laia Garcia to give this edition a proper welcome. Read on for her distinctive take on Appleton Street.  MORE after the jump »

Diehard baseball devotee and whizz-bang writer Maura Johnston did us the honor of introducing today's Don Hamerman edition releases—Untitled 2012 and Holstein—and we think she hit it out of the park. Holstein by Don Hamerman   Untitled (2012) by Don Hamerman   MORE after the jump »

Today we present our second edition with Molly Crabapple, as introduced by another magical human, 5+5 contributor Lauren Cerand.. MORE after the jump »
