I've been thinking about painters that have left an impression in my mind in abstract art. We study Picasso in Art History so we get an introduction to his work. He certainly went through many transitions and became known for his Cubism and Blue Periods. I sometimes wonder if he had an art teacher who expressed his work as just plain crap. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? How it fits into my realm of modern art is that in his final days he became very simplistic. His bulls which were on display here were works of minimalism. Maybe, it just really is a maturing that leads one to want to make everything a little bit easier. He certainly did and everyone applauded his style. He is an interesting character. That covers my outside influence and critical thinking categories and that leaves material developments and images. The development that certainly played its part, of course, was the sabotage of my Southwest piece which I had to bring home to try and repaint the background so I could try and progress toward an end. I've been working on that as well as my last work with geometric forms. The photos follow.
