Sample Mondrian & Kandinsky packages from 2nd batch

Now, I'm wrapping my tiny paintings up in the "cigarette boxes" for the Art-o-mat machines that will eventually hold and vend them.  Just think, for $5, you can buy a morsel of a masterpiece with a bit of art history.

  



Both Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian had to flee their jobs, studios, and homes multiple times during WWI and WWII.  Kandinsky kept secret for years that he and his wife lost a child to complications from starvation during the terrible circumstances of WWI.  Both men attempted to bring contemplative art that provoked conversation to a world that witnessed intense suffering and pain.

I continue to be amazed at the hopefulness, brightness, and optimism that the work of both men portray.  I hope others who see my small bits of their paintings will desire to research both artists more deeply and will take heart in their stubborn refusal to be crushed by one of the most tumultuous periods in history.

Update on Works in Progress

Clarice and I had a blast in the studio this weekend.  We added more Jackson Pollock to the blue and green painting, which I keep referring to as " Wild Sargasso Sea ."  (Clarice thinks this name is hilarious.) White splotches, silver, and dark blue swirls happened here. Wild Sargasso Sea Then, the coral painting that I refer to as the "more Mondrian -ish" piece had some gold geometric highlights added to its negative space.  After this, I felt like the painting was suddenly channeling some Gustav Klimt .  I'm calling this one "Coral with Turquoise and Gold Incidentals."  (Musical composers write incidental music to accompany or accentuate the action in scenes.)  Coral with Turquoise and Gold Incidentals I still feel like my background colors of bright blue and coral on these two paintings were inspired by Kandinsky .  I also felt that the lyrical, rhythmic lines might make him smile.  He believed each painting captured a musical symphony.  Maybe he w
