about the painting? first off you would describe it's coloring. Red and Blue aren't compliments.. they might be tertiary colors. I'd have to study the meaning behind tertiary color groupings (actually, all of them) on my color wheel to visualize what to think about. OK --> I got it. It's this beautiful wheel of the colors (like a prism but in a mathematical circle, not a crystal...[we just spent a week or two mentioning tantric crystals in art and spirituality]). You should look at it sometime. Well, there is a triangle linking yellow, red and blue so the red and the blue in the picture are linked in some way. There is blue, with patches of black, that make up a shape with a head resembling a foggy figure (from the neck down the shape becomes more imprecise and less recognizable [like Klimp's use of Analytical and Didactic painting? -->where Nietzsche labeled two types?]).
K... if that did/didn't make sense, let me know. This is something my school is trying to teach me --> to be able to talk about art; hopefully in a meaningful way!
Sometimes they want us to write 3 pages of this stuff, actually I have to write a 7-10 page paper for one of my classes on a piece of modern art. I think I am going to do one of Kandinsky's because the Art Institute of Chicago has like 13 of his pieces. Do you know Kandinsky? He wrote a book called "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" (Initially it was written in Deutsch! [German]). I own it now if you'd like to see it when I'm done with this paper. He talks about the spiritual significance of colors and the correlation of music with visual art.
