He is unique; I appreciate that. He also takes the impressionistic period to the limit.<br /><br />My enjoyment of art begins after the Byzantine period and mostly ends with the impressionists. I try to understand and appreciate later art, but it is difficult. I do like Kandinsky and Bauer. That is about as modern as I go!<br /><br />PSACHNOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092909813584111387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-42380105366055953122011-08-05T11:54:23.713-04:002011-08-05T11:54:23.713-04:00Well said NP.

Paradoxical, I know, in a man with so much mental distress who eventually committed suicide. But the depth and the beauty of the man's spirit cannot be denied. He was a human being first, not just an artist, and those are the only artists who move and inspire me.nothingprofoundhttp://wwwaphorismscom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
