a torso



‘To me art’s subject is the human clay, Landscape but a background to a torso; 
 All Cezanne’s  apples I would give away For a small Goya or a Daumier’

From w.h.Auden’s ‘letter to Lord Byron’ 1937. Quoted by David Hockney when he made a portrait of WH Auden in 1968.

    I see a shift, much like those my mom wore so many years ago ... and that word, with its many meanings, seems to fit so well here

      I am sorry that blogger is making it difficult for people to comment. It's frustrating. Thank you for identifying yourself Liz xo

    I like the fluidity of this piece very much. Irregular shapes and contours, zig zag lines, curves..., inside rectangles. xo
