Wilfrid Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 About to open at the Met. I believe I saw a big show of his work years ago, but who knows where or when (music)? Such a limited artist in terms of subjects and form. He does what he does and gets bigger and better at it. Land and seascapes that are intended to convey meaning to those that gaze on them. One thing, with an exception, every figure he paints here has his/her back to us, because the signal is to gaze on what they're seeing. The exception is a young man in a stages of life painting. There are children ignoring the beautiful vista, their mother too. The young man has his back to it. But then there's the older man, wisely braced and facing away, drinking in the sight of eternity. Positive: he conjures incredible light, even with the simplest means like brown ink and wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
