The condition of those paintings may mean only that the restorers have not visited, rather than a fault in his his methods. I don't know a lot of technical info on Moran.

I look at paintings and take small parts of them and ask myself how would I handle that passage and I pretend that I painted it and start asking myself why I painted it that way. Alot of his passages leave me with no answers whatsoever. There are so many details that I would never have considered putting in. Like the detail of a tiny highlight on a rock to the left leading the eye down to the valley beyond those upright trees. He knew it would make someone look there. His work looks so deliberate which is a nice follow up of your previous post that mentioned how a deliberate painting is much better than a happy accident painting.<br />Way to illustrate your point.<br />Great post.Gregory Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840770708114257366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-67490147636004393572009-09-04T15:09:57.218-04:002009-09-04T15:09:57.218-04:00Thanks for continuing this series.

Some of his paintings have crazed(one from Venice, particularly,) but some are in wonderful condition. And I know that he used asphaltum on some, too, but it doesn't seem to have affected them. Could you comment on the grounds used in paintings and how important they are? I think Moran might have been very very good at that.Christine Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096401228301214220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-71226658485575718012009-09-04T11:05:03.131-04:002009-09-04T11:05:03.131-04:00Awe Stape, you hurt my feelings a little...trailer...Awe Stape, you hurt my feelings a little...trailer parks and golf courses!?? Most of the trailer parks blew away a couple of years ago. <br /><br />I know your kidding but maybe you should plan a trip down here. There are lots of places that look just like that Moran. Our guest cottage is usually available.<br /><br />The St. Pete museum has a couple Morans but sadly they are in rough shape. They have a couple of his brother Edwin's paintings, too.<br /><br />Nice post, thanks.Robert J.

Well said.<br /><br />Thanks for posting the less known early Moran's. I agree their modesty makes them more impressive.<br /><br />Moran's big Yellowstone & Grand Canyon pieces can get overblown sometimes. In them he reminds me of an earlier Jeff Koons, having to always top his previous efforts by coming up with something more outrageous to keep people talking.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-58870954581560386262009-09-04T07:55:20.702-04:002009-09-04T07:55:20.702-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.com
