My favorite thing about this painting is everything. And every time it pops into the timeline every artist I know loses their collective mind all over again because it’s the best shit anyone’s ever seen in their damn lives. https://twitter.com/artistsargent/status/1259191865888432134">https://twitter.com/artistsar...
Is muddy alligators the best painting ever made?
The trees are just blobs. John singer you sly old dog. You nailed it.
Still thinking about the painting. A couple folks have said in the comments and I agree what is most wonderful about this piece is that it feels like he did it for himself. It’s not a commission or some deep meaningful story. It’s just a moment he liked that he captured
He saw beautiful light on creatures a lot of people might not consider beautiful while they slopped around in mud and he made a stunning painting from that. If that’s not the whole damn goal I just don’t know what is.
