Another great lecture ! I love the comparison to music because we understand that the abstract notes in music are meaningful and significant when you look at pictures with an appreciation for the lyrical qualities of line color and form it is liberating. I love the way you say that the narrative is trivial and of secondary importance. Thank you
Hope I didn't say 'trivial' but secondary sums it up. Failure at the primary mission isn't a thing. Gammell did say though, adamantly, "Subject is nothing."
Have you ever had a chance to look at Mariano Fortuny and see whether he is a kindred spirit of the impressionists? Curious what your thoughts are on his process as his engravings, pen and ink, etc. as all have a focus on tonality/mass drawing while I think he does color spotting starts for his watercolors. One of my favorite artists who died young but had quite a repertoire. Can you decipher if the visual method was part of his game or is he a different animal altogether. Loving the livestreams and everything else you do! You have been a Godsend since my teacher moved away
The more i learn about painting the more i agree with you about Degas, Paul, he was remarkable. specially when it comes to arrangement/rhythm
Hi Paul

Debussy was about 30 years younger than Degas. Born 1862 died 1918.
Thanks
