 Legendary Figure, Cape Dorset Inuit Carving, modern, exact date not known. Self-Portrait at 30
Saturday morning at the art gallery, my daughter in the stroller after breakfast, a chance to talk with no one around thinking art is better than cartoons or sleeping in. Tastes vary. She adores landscapes, tiny villages, tapestries, Milne's delicate water colours, anything with animals. I prefer abstracts, painting behind the painting when the heart frees itself and pours space. We agree on sculpture, taut shapes caressing things we recognize or not. The Inuit art on the third floor is always last-- mythic animals struggling in cut stone, caught blood, moments of light.
