Re: [microsound] Clyfford Still

[Kevin McCoy <km.takewithyou@xxxxxxxxx>]

It does look that way when it's flattened out to a print or digital
image but I wonder what it would feel like when viewed in person...
may have a different feel with the ability to perceive the depth of
brush strokes, paint caked on there, etc.

I mention this as someone who didn't understand how color was
important to mid 20th century painters until I actually saw several
paintings at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC - for artists like Rothko,
for example, the size of the painting and the intensity of the color
are really what struck me, but it never came across in prints and I
always thought he was weak until then...
