HOM takes a day and we traipse to the art galleries for some cultural infusion. what makes the difference, i wonder, between a great painting and something you buy from central market in k.l.? perhaps the fact that the painting appears to speak to a response in me, so that i just want to stand there and stare.
detail from the lovers by picasso. yeah right the guy could paint real people too!
my favorite today is monet. all that hype, i discover, is justified. up close to his painting you just wonder what he is all about. then you step away and the scales fall away from your eyes. magical.
i also love whistler's nocturnes. they are almost pictorial equivalents to wuthering heights.
