Here the dynamics between the two halves of the face are quite clear. Just as clearly visible is that one half is in the foreground, and the other is sort of luring behind. Surely, they can shift their positions from time to time, but rarely do I see a face where they are equals - and never upon scrutiny. This painting, by the way, was stolen that same year - shortly after completion. There was a burglary in the studio I shared with brilliant artist Mikael Eriksson. They took this painting of mine, and his stereo. That's how I remember it, but he might recollect differently. Beauty is in the eyes of the prowler. Thumbnails stenudd.com |
