Amy Sillman and Robert Rauschenberg


Amy Sillman, Birdwatcher. I saw this on Bill Gusky's blog.

I am seeing Rauschenberg's bed, Diebenkorn, De Kooning, even James Castle. Love it.

I see tremendous freedom expressed in a distinct language, the freedom from anxiety but without naivetee, great formal invention not only in shapes and colors, but in organization: it shouldn't hold together. It's not a "good" painting, but neither is it tedious "bad painting." Very smart, very hard, very demanding of herself and the viewer.

Furthermore, all this says nothing, The only way you can really do justice to this painting in words is to get specific, that blue negative shape, that yellow layered over brown, those wobbly triangles and their edges, the scale shifts, etc. And of course, yes, by noting its family as Martin did.

Anyone see Bonnard here? In color, but also in the unendingly wierd composition. Picasso thought Bonnard was indecisive.

I just love this 'Watcherbird' by Amy Sillman!
'Pastel' colours, 'shadow' forms, some kind of impressionist touch.
I think we never can put on words our feelings about painting, music or literature. Only the pleasure to see, listen or read it!
