Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection. My art interests span a wide range, although I'm most interested in 20th century artists. Not that the earlier art isn't wonderful, but some of the 20th century works really cut to the bone, jarring you out of the bland everyday existence that typifies modern America.
Art restimulates and awakens sensibilities that's the function of art.

To those who say Rothko can't paint, I offer his self-portrait.
