Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things
Yeah, interesting perspectives. I've been enjoying an introduction to Dore Ashton's work via her book, Picasso On Art and was curious to know more. Thanks for the share, frauleinspiel!
i'm really missing this guy right now. had the pleasure of having him as a professor at RISD for a semester. I've grown to love his work immensely since then
what an extraordinary woman, and the filming simply allows her to be her ordinary self. very elegant work! not many people know how to turn a camera on someone in this unjudgemental way. Bill Maynes is an artist.
"the gaze" . . . oh my, it's so reaffirming when you hear someone articulate the same thoughts and feelings you have come to on your own over the years of working. I find it re-assuring to know that artists, regardless of time or place, come to the same conclusions (albeit in-progress) independently. This phenomenon feels different from Jung's collective consciousness, but I unable to verbalize the difference.
I love Kingsburg. I often go to Hirtle's Beach, and I also drive around to look at the houses. It is one of the most beautiful places in Nova Scotia, I believe - simple seaside beauty.
quietness of gaze.. harks back to the Rembrandt portraits. Naturally some of the best are not widely known, as with most great artists. In the 70's I wasn't Jake's student, but at a crit of 200 students he said "there are only 2 real paintings here. Everything else is beneath criticism." I was glad to be among the 2. Would like to see Jake's recent work.
