The Blue out of which ..

(in pagan female form here)


note: The Blue out of which like bright parrots appear ideas, sentences, niftinesses is always a pagan male pan-genius to me, but I wrote this for a man and realized that for him The Blue was likely to have this pagan female pan-genius feel. Change the pronouns to suit you.

    The very <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />California painter of '67 Chryslers, Gran Torinos, and plastic-webbed deck chairs, Robert Bechtle became PhotoRealism, but that's way misleading. He (and Wayne Thiebaud of cakes & pinball machines & lollipops fame) wrestled with the angel of paint and light with devoted obsession. The holo-masterpiece in which we're immersed is so infuriatingly casual, abundant, — no, profligate with its seamless genius that a human artist is forced, like a lump of coal under diamond-making tons of not-ever relenting pressure, to hope for one homage at last, inevitably mere, that might merit a glance from the Queen of Creation as, with her dazzling entourage, she sweeps by.
      One may foul oneself as one will with post-pubescent-fuelled concupiscence, but Mama Earth is your mother and your lover and she is also the cackling crone whose pudgy thumb and forefinger snuff our candle. Art is incest in the most private seduction and rage. Devotion and hate so close they kiss.
      Using sharp focus at all depths of the image as our eyes do and a camera can't, Bechtle finally gets his homage, skin and auto-metal-skin reflections become eerily present; he handles the alchemic illusion with mastery, not overreaching, not distorting, — displaying like a slave who's seen glory – touched glory even – displaying the preferred façade (flesh, chintz, aluminum, stucco, garish cheap plastic back-yard chairs, asphalt) of the Goddess. “Yes, yes, Beloved who Breathes Us, whose luscious air dances in our baffled blood, I was your perfect servant

this afternoon. I wash my paintbrushes tenderly and will stretch a new canvas tomorrow. I noticed with astonishment. I noticed with devotion.”

     It is all you can say that ever gets heard. The rest is will-o-wisps and The Blue cannot hear it. She reads your heart like braille and knows if you are true or false.

You see, to grok photonic physics, you cannot just use reason-sight. You have to train your art-sight too.

note: re seamless. In a biology lab class, I once drew a diagram of an amoeba I'd seen under a microscope, and I was marked down by the grad student who checked these lab papers because I had not carefully closed the amoebic oval. “Living things cannot have gaps in them,” she told me, “Nature cannot be so careless.”   Hmmm, I thought – seamless.

Of course there’s no way to see the luminousness of these paintings unless you go to a museum, tho the 3 zoomable*  paintings give some notion.

  1. We should probably strobe our lives more, shouldn't we? See them in a series of still lifes in which we pause to applaud each ambered frame. Or gleam in chrome frame.
    I just saw on tv that Britain has made museum entry free and many more people are going. We should add that to the pro-peace plan, pog.

  2. pithy as ever, ofdroll —
    On way back from oakland chez dentist, stopped at sfmoma & saw Tuttle. Three figs cool tweako art dood. Authentically different.
    He had some cool pieces that looked like fatty pajama-bottom-shaped & other odd shaped kites flung themselves randomly through the wall and left a fabric kite-print behind as they disappeared into another dimension where kites high on joy and geometry sometimes go.
    Also lots of folding and shadows and subtly mind-bending unexpectednesspitude.
    If you live near frisco (sic), 1st Tuesdays at sfmoma are free. get off at either Montgomery street or powell street bart. It doesn

  3. The advantage of art is the attention it gets us to pay. Attention is one of those oddities that the more you pay, the richer you get.

  4. shamanof & esfera,
    When I did tv & edited frame by frame, one of the things I noticed was how, frame by frame, we all look sometimes fun-house mundo bizarro and sometimes gorgeous. What we do in 'normal' speed is smear each other and even ourselves as we gaze appreciatively in the mirror. Frame by frame I learned to love everyone because they were so vulnerable in that view and one felt compelled to treasure them.
    A phrase I use all over my fables is deft attention. Deft attention can be paid all the time. It is not quite effortless — it requires just the amount of effort it takes a butterfly to land on a flower without crashing.
