But what makes one lillier than the other?<br /><br />Cezanne understood apples and, perhaps, a jug or two. Few have understood apples like that.<br /><br />Avedon gets the face. His faces are, indeed, facier. Or, rather, they are not facier; they are just facey where others are not facey at all.Daniel Coffeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912050391869734890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-4620169947093718832009-09-24T07:17:20.829-07:002009-09-24T07:17:20.829-07:00A simpler question: Why Avedon's faces?

Is that the magic of his art?Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632514764471339300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-89623492732059127302009-09-22T15:29:58.443-07:002009-09-22T15:29:58.443-07:00It is a differend, isn't it?

And yet we can traverse it, we do traverse it. <br /><br />I think drugs — the right drugs used the right way — can be extremely effective and are probably the best, or fastest, technique to bring on this perspective.<br /><br />It's a matter, I think, of somehow being blown out of one's comfort zone of habitual viewing.<br /><br />Perhaps viewing the right art can have the same effect as drugs. David Lynch's Inland Empire was very useful for me.<br /><br />Excellent question.....Daniel Coffeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912050391869734890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-52560568967273895182009-09-22T02:28:26.777-07:002009-09-22T02:28:26.777-07:00I ask this in order to be able to create the same ...I ask this in order to be able to create the same event for other people...ayşegülhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773508991432654626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-55738376618992389992009-09-22T02:02:29.096-07:002009-09-22T02:02:29.096-07:00Definetely each image creates my image, my face......Definetely each image creates my image, my face... Little by little, they all add up to create the thing we call ourselves. <br /><br />When I first thought and felt the reality of this very fact, I was terrified! Every little thing constitutes me and there are some really bad, ugly things that I see or hear or witness. <br /><br />Then something happened that completely changed my mind about this. I started to enjoy this excruciating fact and look at it as a blessing. <br /><br />So what do you think happened?<br /><br />How we come to turn to one of these two different tendencies? <br /><br />I just can't sense anything about the answer to this question...ayşegülhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773508991432654626noreply@blogger.com
