from a tiny travel notebook

i started this notebook in Paris and enjoyed using papers from the daily explores. here i can recognize scraps from the catalog of the CAFE TURC series of events at the Tuileries.

kandinsky


improvisation 7

Kandinsky identified 3 types of paintings (designated by titles associated with music):
-impressions, based on real life subjects.
-improvisations, spontaneous and unconscious images from the artist's inner life.
-compositions, formally developed formats, often preceded by a series of studies.

interesting to say the least!

a fun thing with collages is to explore color harmonies that would not necessarily come while painting.

so different from the previous ones. maybe coming from a combination of sketch class and visiting Lore Hauptman and delighting in her collages.

strange characters. who are they? where do they come from? that's what i like about the collages. they are surprises to myself.
