Crush on a painting



I'm a little obsessed with Philip Guston's Gladiators lately. I just love it. I love love love it. No, I'm not going to bore you with a long, analytical explanation why, especially as I would fail miserably at articulating one. I think it's just because it strikes me as so mysterious and has such a beautiful composition. It's nice that it has lofty goals, too (Guston was a politically motivated WPA muralist in the 30s, influenced by Diego Rivera; Gladiators was reworked from a mural he painted in Long Island City.)

Why is it possible to stand in front of some works of art drooling for hours, others not so much? The eternal question!
