Great asymmetry.<br />And although it's not directly related to your discussion of thrusts, the color gradation in that left foreground rock is beautifully handled. I'm impressed.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure a whole bunch of Waugh paintings ended up in the permanent collection of the Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, KS, which is totally land-locked. It's an ironic resting place for them. Do you know the story behind how they ended up there?Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-9647908144184923472010-08-06T10:54:20.020-04:002010-08-06T10:54:20.020-04:00I have to thank you for once again shifting my foc...I have to thank you for once again shifting my focus to where it should have been. When I first saw the Wendt I immediately started to pick out the thrusts, the problem is I went straight to my usual way of seeing and looked at the edges of light and shadow to define those emphasis for me. While observing the edges of light and shadow does give the same eye movement through the painting looking at the larger shapes changes the speed the eye travels and provides a deeper understanding of what he had in mind.<br />Thanks,<br />Steve BakerSteve Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827197940375395874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-48706776243804639302010-08-06T08:06:48.169-04:002010-08-06T08:06:48.169-04:00wonderful post Stape!!
