Avant-garde


I haven't been doing much work as in actually applying pigment to ground (apart from this and a couple of oils), but I have been doing a bit of reading, which I count as work as well: Concepts of modern art (the first half's excellent), Rites of spring: the Great War and the birth of the modern age (very good), Foucault's pendulum (pretentious but fun), a book by Elmore Leonard, and a book on George Grosz. Now I'm making my way through Theories of modern art and a book on Beckmann. Need some more fiction.

Ooooohhh-hey-hey!! Nice one, David :-D The painting, I mean -- it kicks arse big time.

Great that you're getting some reading done. Wish I could say the same....
