Inspired by Anselm & Basquiat
As per- straight back to other work before completing creative work – really must be better about that!
…So to start the creativity going again, here are two opposing pieces (and artists) that caught my eye and inspired me in NY the other week:
Varus (c) Anselm Kiefer
Rome Pays Off (c) Jean-Michel Basquiat
The first is disturbing, perhaps, but led me down a very interesting (though yes, rather dark and disturbing) “Holzweg” (lit Forest Way in German). The second caught my eye while walking in Soho and I was hooked. So much so I kept going back for more.
…Both works are a different way of recording and responding to history, I suppose.
Perhaps it’s time I took a greater interest in paintings.
PS Am being asked about Storytelling in Central park: it was great!
Thanks to all those who made it and helped us ward off the thunderstorm!!
More to come on storytelling and some writing too…
