Now I'll have to plug on with that heavy tome.<BR/><BR/>Margaret, that's so interesting that you were able to see the retrospective in Rome - and without a crowd. I've never seen a Rothko in person but I'll have to seek one (or more) out now that I'm reading about him.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for your nice comment about my work.Nancy Natalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325421420384484035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064353933668888339.post-52500290918681310782009-03-17T08:41:00.000-04:002009-03-17T08:41:00.000-04:00I love the colour combinations in this work. They ...I love the colour combinations in this work. They are decidedly tropical and in this below 0 world I'm existing in now they allow me some feeling of heat. The inclusion of beads adds an interesting texture that plays well against the landscape, water. Ordered excitement is hard to achieve but you've done it.<BR/>I enjoyed hearing about your latest read. I'm interested in digging into the minds of artists. I love to know the what and how of an individual's art practice.Rothko is of particular interest to me now because last year I got to see a Rothko retrospective in Rome. I didn't know it would be there; what excitement to walk down the street and see the banner for it. I went early morning on a Saturday and there were few people around. It was one of the best viewing opportunities I have ever experienced. The monumental size of some of the works awed me. Who would think there was so much to look at and feel in work that appears to contain nothing recognizable.My travelling friends didn't come with me because there was nothing to look at in his art! Their loss, my gain.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064353933668888339.post-48729063064553591972009-03-17T00:01:00.000-04:002009-03-17T00:01:00.000-04:00Nancy, I just love it when you post about an artis...Nancy, I just love it when you post about an artist you have read about. I read every word. So I hope the book doesn't give you a black eye and I will stay tuned for the eventual posted book report. Thank you in advance!Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.com
