Usually I can spend a few minutes make my mind up, with some understanding, look at a piece of art and make judgements about what it is about or rather what message is being chosen to be shown. That was until I went to the Kandinsky exhibition at the Lenbachhaus (which is now my favourite gallery). Each of his works reminded me of my friends in the more creative industries, the wood blocks at times were very Telegramme, the simplicity of later things more of the Bodhi, even strong and plain structures from the heart reminded me of my architect friends. They have a bit to go before I can say that they are the clear descendants (because they won't be).
But to get to the point, the single painting that vexxed me was Abstract VII, it caught my eye with its harsh and difficult geometry so I decided to listen to the words from the audio hand guide I was given.
'the yellow triangle touching the blue circle is as important as Michaelangelos touching of God'
I wait for people to google this picture and decide for themselves, I still haven't worked it out if Kandinsky was talking in truths. I suppose the fact I told everyone about this since I have seen it proves maybe he was telling the truth.
Have a wonderful January my beautiful eggs.
I thought it would be painful to breathe in that day, not only could I see my own breath I could see the steam rising from my hands as I took my gloves off. My hands quickly went cold like a cup of tea that had been left out in a storm. It hasn't been this cold in my life ever and I'm enjoying it. I cough and splutter my way through life but feel most alive when you're at the end of some tether. The cold cuts you up like nothing before and then you look at the road in front of you and you try walking along it. It's covered in snow, shaking the trees that line it a little and every so often more snow flicks down.
I just imagine Ian being photographed in this kind of weather with a cigarette in his mouth, probably a pack of Marlboro.
