ferrousironicHilma af Klint, 1907
Janet Sobel, 1945
These two artists always blow me away.
I imagine them both as very raw, in-the-flesh painters, "paint will be needed," "acquire paint for this expression," and so on.
It was always going to come out, the use of paint, no matter what, one way or another. from them.
I saw af Klint's show at Tate a little bit ago, it was one fantastic achievement after another, drawings, prints, etc.
I don't recall being taught very much about these artists in school. It was always straight to Kandinsky, and also always straight to Pollack, depending on what period you were studying.
Female artists were always taking care of kids, and didn't have it in them to hang out at bars all night and get drunk with painter buddies, 5-7 nights a week.
But anyway, the teaching I got from school was usually "only the French school," and what not. Excuse.
The ideas were definitely in the air though, I imagine all over.
Anyway, I think both these painters were incredible in many different ways and for so many reasons.
