A blog about about painting, design and other aspects of aesthetics along with a dash of non-art topics. The point-of-view is that modernism in art is an idea that has, after a century or more, been thoroughly tested and found wanting. Not to say that it should be abolished -- just put in its proper, diminished place.

Blogging Note
Coming soon:
The day after I arrived in Madrid last month, I beat a path to the former home of the great painter Joaquin Sorolla which now serves as a museum of his works.
Photos were taken, and many will be included in a post dealing with the museum. Among the subjects are Sorolla's last (or nearly so) palette and a large, partly-completed study for his Regions of Spain series revealing (among other details) early stages of defining a human figure.
So if you're a Sorolla fan, stay tuned. And if you have friends who are fans, let them know what's in the works.
