Lot's of color and many, many patterns.....all the things I love! During the last week of December, I went back to the Phoenix Art Museum to see the show featuring Brazilian artists one more time before it came down. I was captivated by this painting by Beatriz Milhazes from Rio de Janeiro.
It has all those elements I like in contemporary art works. The description says it has an atmosphere of Carnival and evokes Brazil's lush landscape. I think it does that and so much more!
You are an artist. You appreciate work like this. That's a good thing. I find it muddles my mind (which, btw, isn't hard to do these days). I do like the different shapes and the colors are very Brazilian and for some reason I see a woman with a billowing skirt dancing and whirling across a glossy dance floor. (P.S. I don't know Brazilian colors from Maltese puppies, but the phrase sounded like the proper thing to say.) :)
ReplyDeleteOh I saw one of her exhibits in Paris and I simply loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really party piece so carnival fits this so well!
ReplyDeleteI love it, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteBoldly colourful!
ReplyDeleteThe shapes and colour does give it a carnival feeling. I like it, Sharon, it's very nice.
ReplyDeleteahhh now this is what I like. I enjoy seeing things that are different from everything else. Reminds me of different textures such as wheels and shapes etc.
ReplyDeleteNice! I saw a show of Brazilian "Tropcalia" artworks from the '60s and '70s in the Bronx years ago, and I still remember how interesting it was. A school of art that I knew nothing about at the time.
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous Sharon, I have the perfect spot for it ☺
ReplyDeleteYou have an excellent art museum. This piece is brilliant but a little hard on the eyes. Maybe it's better in the tropics.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful work, Sharon. I feel humble to see the things some people can create.
