The (un-)Daily Pic: Some of you (i.e., my parents, siblings, and maybe my six best friends) may have noticed that after almost 2,500 posts, my Daily Pic went awfully quiet in recent years, as I’ve been wrestling with some big projects. Well, it’s time to start it again, if not with the madness of an absolutely daily post.

So here’s a photo — an almost-self-portrait, in fact — by and of the Florida artist Selina Román, who has a solo show at the Sarasota Art Museum.

There’s been plenty of art about “alternative” body types — think the self-portraits of Laura Aguilar or Iiu Susiraja — but they almost always toy with the abject. What I admire about Román’s images is that they seem to entertain the real possibility of taking unproblematic, simple pleasure in a plus-size body. They imagine that a large body can be as straightforwardly pleasant, and present, and just normal as pink tights and a yellow body suit.

You can even do yoga in such a body, and clothe it at Lululemon.
