…on the last day of the exhibit, this past Sunday, aptly titled
Van Gogh to Pollock — Modern Rebels.
Anyone who attended Art School in the Sixties and Seventies
would certainly appreciate this intense, succinct, little collection;
which provides a strong synopses without overwhelming.
Though I did feel a bit underwhelmed by the POP and after collection;
and thirsting a bit for 80s to present;
in other words — I was immersed — and then it was over too soon.
A gorgeous Sunday afternoon at the very remarkable Milwaukee Art Museum.

They placed Giacometti’s “Walking Man” absolutely perfectly;
as the life size figure appears animated against the paintings;
In a room devoted, to some extent, to deconstructing color
this young woman appeared to have dressed for the sculpture.
I spent an entire semester studying Arshile Gorky; and decades in love with his lines
See what I mean? The Walking Man IS everywhere.
Profoundly powerful architecture; designed with the intention
to make continuous love with light, time and space.

And of course the Leica M8 with 40 mm Summicron and B+W 093 IR goes everywhere;
because we, well I need to “see what things look like without ‘visible’ light.”
