Picture with an archer (detail)
by Vasily Kandinsky
1909
(Museum of Modern Art) twice. As an artist with
an exhibit in New York City, I got a special artist's
membership for a bit more than the price of a one
time admission, so the second time I went in free.
What can I say? There was so much to see that was
wonderful in the MOMA. You could spend a happy
afternoon in the design store across the street.
But one of the things that I liked was the painting
Picture with an archer by Vasily Kandinsky. I took
several close up pictures of the painting, trying to
capture its intensity and texture. (Photos were permitted.)
It completely entranced me. The colour was so rich,
I know no photograph can convey what I saw. But
check it out next time you're at the MOMA.

Hi Flora,
I don't know if I love everything by
the man, but this painting was glorious. I've shown you a detail -- it's a big painting. I took a bunch of detail shots hoping to understand how he did it. In the end it doesn't matter because I'm not him, but I love what he did.
