I think you are a genius with interiors. You are so good at suggesting complex spaces--- as here, in the Tate cafe. The deeper and more opaque colors in the sketch of two people are stunning.Laurelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050096410382276071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1168135539324110762007-01-07T02:05:00.000+00:002007-01-07T02:05:00.000+00:00Thanks for the introduction to Holbein's drawings ...Thanks for the introduction to Holbein's drawings and the links. My virtual visit to the Tate was thrilling and I've ordered the catalog. The link to the essays was also much appreciated--I loved what Chuck Close said: "When a painter looks at another painter's work, even across the centuries such as this, it must be like when a magician performs in front of an audience of other magicians. The question arises - do they see the illusion, or do they see the device that made the illusion?" This fits into something I've been thinking about lately and now have a way of framing it -- it's the difference between seeing a technically excellent, pretty painting that I look at and see the "device" vs. one that moves me, that I resonate with heart and soul where I see the "illusion" -- the real magic, not the trick. That's what I want to strive for in my painting and now I have words for it.
