砂川達政 / Gallery-Q
... as I stood there contemplating it (and the original has much more depth than any photograph can show) with the artist standing beside me also looking at it, I found myself feeling happy and... what?... enthusiastic/euphoric... fun... yes! - that's it! "Fun" is the word! I was surprised to realize this spontaneous feeling and I still wonder at it. Does this painting emanate fun rays by virtue of materials used and emotion input by the artist? Or was I getting a vicinity-high by standing next to the artist who said the picture is a favorite of his? Maybe both? This is one of the reasons I prefer autobiographies over biographies and art by live artists over art by dead artists. I like to get things from their source - not someone else's interpretation of what someone else was thinking. When the source is standing right beside you, you not only get their words directly, you get their radio waves - and the full picture can come in loudly and clearly.Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon
