Elliott Puckette and Hugo Guinness

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elliott Puckette is a Kentucky-born artist whose latest <a href="http://www.paulkasmingallery.com/exhibitions/2014-10-08_elliott-puckette" target="_blank">exhibit</a> at Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York runs through November 8, 2014. Her linear work is often compared to calligraphy. Hugo Guinness of the British banking and brewing family sells paintings and lino cut prints through <a href="http://www.johnderian.com/pages/hugo-guinness" target="_blank">John Derian</a>. Cousin of fashion muse Daphne Guinness, Hugo helped director friend Wes Anderson write the screenplay of <i>The Grand Budapest Hotel</i>.  Anderson wanted to film scenes for <i>The Royal Tenenbaums</i> in the Brooklyn brownstone that Puckette and Guinness, who are married, share with their two daughters. The house, unfortunately, is too narrow, so Anderson used the couple's artwork - rather than their home - in his film. Mr. Guinness contributed to another Anderson film by providing the voice of Nathan Bunce in <i>Fantastic Mr. Fox</i>. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS9CoktUMJx0_tcJQaUmUI_JXeMFVjPhQ19i5R0S0Io2KocqcGPnhOYGORXdzTvD2NuxfgfnnqftCbEVXv1_MrTT4-hMRknWmms00EPD1wSY-MQd_DI9gAIMRy4J_7VC_8ZxeDI2x91Fw/s1600/07orig_slide3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS9CoktUMJx0_tcJQaUmUI_JXeMFVjPhQ19i5R0S0Io2KocqcGPnhOYGORXdzTvD2NuxfgfnnqftCbEVXv1_MrTT4-hMRknWmms00EPD1wSY-MQd_DI9gAIMRy4J_7VC_8ZxeDI2x91Fw/s1600/07orig_slide3.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elliott Puckette and Hugo Guinness | Artists</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The artists Elliott Puckette and Hugo Guinness entertain often in their rambling Brooklyn town house. 'Young and old, domestic and imported, gay or straight, all are welcome,' Guinness says. 'Most of our friends seem to be artists of one sort or another, poets, priests, plumbers, that sort of thing. I try to look pleased to see them, give them a drink and then disappear.' Puckette . . . loves to prepare down-home dishes, like Brunswick stew and grits souffle. And for tabletop accouterments, the couple looks no farther than the Bowery in downtown Manhattan for 'everything you could possibly need for a party: plates, vases, tablecloths and antlers,' says Guinness."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo: Robert Maxwell.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Copyright 2004 The new York Times Company.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2004/11/07/style/tmagazine/20041107_ORIG_SLIDESHOW_3.html" target="_blank">The Originals</a>"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The New York Times Style Magazine</i> (November 7, 2004).</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMH4G_6u7HDPNqDmQKY2qM2qJVVH157qnQHdyt0zkOs8Psrj2FY7SN-3dg8ElUaMJiIX4RrXwqP9f-JNDmqUFF8SHJhNmE031ACn2_8ZstjOcZJYrCpnL0M-ZvNbkCJVMGNA-smlFLmU/s1600/002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMH4G_6u7HDPNqDmQKY2qM2qJVVH157qnQHdyt0zkOs8Psrj2FY7SN-3dg8ElUaMJiIX4RrXwqP9f-JNDmqUFF8SHJhNmE031ACn2_8ZstjOcZJYrCpnL0M-ZvNbkCJVMGNA-smlFLmU/s1600/002.jpg" width="460" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hugo Guinness's botanical paintings are hung in the drawing room as each is completed.
