Innes is one of my favorite artists. This was the first painting of his I ever saw, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. I came around a corner and was instantly and completely transfixed. It’s just so beautiful. This image doesn’t do it justice but I’m still blogging it, because it reminds me of the real thing.
Sometimes I get nostalgic for representational painting, although there are still many excellent instances of such work; they’ve just had to get odder, I suppose, to have a raison d’être, and they’re ignored by mainstream art criticism.
