I'm thinking that "stick" you mentioned in the Tarbell painting may be the leg of a platform or pier based on the angular lines from the bottom right corner.
Grateful for the regular uploads on this channel! Hearing you talk about the connection to music where the purpose of the abstraction is in large part the elevation of the soul, I wonder what you make of the trend in contemporary figurative painting with people like Jenny Saville disfiguring the human face and body, I guess this is partly an inheritance from Bacon. Is there something aesthetic in doing that beyond the shock value? Are these painters shirking a _moral_ _responsibility_ to elevate the soul through their work?
