Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on May 25, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Thornton! May your day be filled with more vibrant colors than your iconic "Slat" paintings and sharper angles than your legendary "Wedge" series. You've truly mastered the art of making geometry exciting—something my math teacher never quite managed!

Here's to another year of bold brushstrokes and endless creativity. Your recent successes continue to inspire us all, proving once again that life is best lived outside the lines—even if those lines form a perfect "Grid." Keep painting triangles around everyone else; after all, you're the only artist who can make shapes look effortlessly cool. Cheers!
