Welcome to our new Blog!

Thanks for checking out Trevor's & my new blog! I'll post at least once every week, and that's a promise! We're going to put up all sorts of things - samples of Trevor's newest art, stories, pictures, thoughts, anything that may be of interest. We're just starting, so keep checking back. For now, I'll do what I like best: talk 'bout art :).
This is a Morris Louis, Tet, 1958. I ran over it wasting time on ArtStor. If you're unfamiliar with Louis, he's a brilliant abstract expressionist painter of the twentieth century. To get this luminous, color-saturated, almost translucent effect with paint, Louis never primed his canvases. He would pour paint from the top of the canvas and move the canvas itself to get patterns. His canvases are typically gigantic, really overwhelming. This one is particularly beautiful - I think it looks like plumage, the Northern Lights, or perhaps jets of water shooting from a dam or a ship.
I think this painting does live up to the Greenburgian 'eye as moron' ideal. The eye weaves in and out, needing as much imagination as coherent thought. I would love to own this painting, I'd build my whole house around it!
