While I call this Landscape Blog, it is really about painting.I have found in painting the landscape something wants to reveal itself.
This coming forward is a figure, if a bush a rock or actual figure. The painting in Modern art itself became figure turned inside out literally. One could call that an idea.
This Katz has been here for a long time now. Im always happy to see it.
Alex said to me recently, I'm thinking of Stuart Davis-- or I'm unsure maybe he said I should think about him?
This post is sprawling to thoughts of a show I just saw at Mint Museum. You see I use these trips to put together some new idea. Southern Modern had a Jacob Lawrence and then reminded me of Horace Pippin I saw at Barnes. Pippin is a bit like Rousseau Picasso liked so.
This is the Lawrence, then two Pippins from the Barnes.
I think you can see the surface compositions in play here. Especially the use of Rugs.
There are a few more on my Facebook page.
This detail of a David Park shows he was already on this trail.
So the landscape is somewhat like the mind in that the ideas come forward in ideas,
maybe a figure.
This is the muse
I chase.
This metaphor.
In
"the landscape."
