andrew wyeth and others

i don't know anything about painting or sculpting or other arts. i heard about andrew wyeth on the radio this last january. he had just died and they talked about him. i wanted to see his paintings. then i forgot about him. then emily and i went to greenville, sc. the city art museum happened to have an andrew wyeth gallery. i like his later paintings, like this of a wild dog. or this one of man in snow. or this one of a house. some of his earlier paintings, or many of them, seem very very good technically, but a little sentimental or something. i like his later ones and the ones where he lets the painting and brush just go, real loose, almost sloppy. some of the unfinished ones (i think they were unfinished) were really cool, too, and one of a fire.

also, this guy's (bob trotman) stuff was neat. he had made these enormous people carved out of wood, all in business suits, all looking like frankenstein's monster. it was creepy in a good way. i don't think just looking at the sculptures works, the physical space they took up was huge. i liked it.

i have a new thing at elimae. i like the ones called "creature," "working life," and the abrahams story with the long title.
