Thursday 30 September 2010




Course work: Two additional sessions of adjustments to the grey scale: I’m getting closer to equal steps between the squares, but am not yet there. Cut out the 4 cm colored squares in preparation for (someday) gluing them onto the value-scale sheet.



Reading and theoretical studies:



Stephanie D’Allesandro and John Elderfield Matisse: Radical Invention 1913-1917

The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 2010

Pp. 320-355

(A fairly difficult book to read, requiring close attention and short reading sessions, but yielding exhaustive coverage of the artist’s work in the 1913-17 period, which the authors consider the critical years of the painter’s career.)



Sketchbook work: A pencil sketch in my pocket sketchbook of a 13-year cicada, found dead on the porch.







Time today: 1 hour 14 minutes
