Gradations attract, enfold and please. Curves are more sensual than straights. The obvious is enchanted by the hidden. Protrusions are contrasted with indentions. Patterns fascinate, involve and deceive. Repetitions are to forms what beats are to mu…

The Line

The mere line is one of the most abstract things imaginable. With it any aspect of the universe may be portrayed. From the most microscopic life forms to the farthest reaches of space, all by the simple line, which in itself is nothing, and in fact, in actual reality does not even exist.

Who said it?

"All these sheepheaded bourgeois prigs who endlessly spout words like 'immoral, immorality, immorality in art', or other such idiocies, remind me of that five franc whore Louise Villedieu, who once accompanied me through the Louvre - it was her first visit - only to blush most deeply, veil her face, tug continually at my sleeve, and ask me, before sundry immortal statues and paintings, how it were possible that someone be allowed to put such indecencies on public display?"

-Charles Baudelaire

Thoughts on Art

Gradations attract, enfold and please.
Curves are more sensual than straights.
The obvious is enchanted by the hidden.
Protrusions are contrasted with indentions.
Patterns fascinate, involve and deceive.
Repetitions are to forms what beats are to music.
Symmetry mirrors and honours the human body.
Whorls and vortexes tempt and seduce.
Colour, pure or muted, is its own magic.
Strong contrasts provide drama and excitement.
Soft edges invite touch and caress.
Disappearing acts create mystery and in… Continue
