AdamSmith Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 1 hour ago, MsAnn said: Better... I one time waited til the docent wasn't watching, then dared to touch -- for who knows what reason -- the 'White Flag' with my fingertip, when it hung in the Jale Art Gallery. Hope I didn't speed its physical demise. As all of Johns's works are now undergoing, those that is in which he used newsprint paper as the underlay to the encaustic. The acid in the cheap newsprint is burning those works up. The various Flags for that reason are all now gone very brown/black. MsAnn 1

Interesting how the edit went from "your friend" to B.N. Once again, you're a liar and a hypocrite. No wonder my dear escort friend couldn't stomach you.

AdamSmith Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Some stylistic & conceptual parallels to the absolute genius painter R.B. Kitaj (1932-2007). Reinvented figurative, non-abstract painting for the current age. MsAnn 1

Reinvented figurative, non-abstract painting for the current age. I was unaware of his paintings, so I did a little reading. My initial reaction is that I don't share your enthusiasm. I find it too dark, depressing, disturbing, and far too violent for my taste. Lacking intellectual analysis, I can only judge by my visual senses. That said, he is fascinating, and a brilliant film maker, however his art is in-keeping with the spirit of this thread... AdamSmith 1

And you know my sense of shit is not self-destructive! The opposite, obviously. I am just endlessly curious. And convinced of my own indestructability!
AdamSmith Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 3 hours ago, AdamSmith said: Everything you discern in his work is absolutely why I adore him. But again, why I love him from, I suppose, a 'theoretical' POV (though is there really any such in art viewing?) is that he found a way to bring, repeating myself, figuration back into art. In contemporarily meaningful ways. Quite a feat.
