Now, when I go see the show, which I"m planning to do some time within a week, as I think about whether I've misjudged Bonnard all these years, I'll be looking to see whether I also find those two qualities you found.Manuel Macarrullahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582775932978665018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340819108698602754.post-74336168862527823732009-04-06T19:51:00.000-04:002009-04-06T19:51:00.000-04:00I read Gabriel's piece on Bonnard and found it ver...I read Gabriel's piece on Bonnard and found it very interesting. I am not the expert on Bonnard (or the painter) that both you and he are, and feel it would be a bit pretentious of me to offer a comment on his insightful essay. I enjoyed reading what both you and he had to say. What I know for sure is that the Bonnard paintings at The Met show moved me and were a little eerie actually. I loved the colors and the fact that some of the pictures seemed to<BR/>"develop" right before your eyes.<BR/><BR/>Re: the blog, I see what you mean about people not posting official comments and I think your idea to have a contest is clever. Here's the thing with me, though - while I love and welcome all comments and dialogue, whether via email, in person, or on the blog itself, it is essential to just get my thoughts out of me so that I don't have to contain them anymore. It gets filled up pretty fast in my head. So it's a relief to "give birth" to that stuff. I had the same feeling upon completing my Master's thesis and any other paper I've written. I imagine you may feel something akin to what I feel when you complete a painting?Karen 5.0http://wwwkmw.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
