The juxtaposition of shows in said head was interesting to me (Lotsa paint/No paint), and that's why it appeared here.<BR/><BR/>And to be clear, I said that Labas' paintings were "just the palette cleansers I needed" Before that I referred to Eisenman's "swath of a show", implying that it cut a relatively wide path. Palate cleansers aren't for getting rid of something distasteful that might be lingering. They're a culinary breather of sorts. <BR/><BR/>After the massive massiveness of the night before I was ready for a breather. That is very much NOT a complaint about Eisenman's show. If anything, it's a compliment.Heart As Arenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976463596763794957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-1147972542191716152006-05-18T13:15:00.000-04:002006-05-18T13:15:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Heart As Arenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976463596763794957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-1147972178833890712006-05-18T13:09:00.000-04:002006-05-18T13:09:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Heart As Arenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976463596763794957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-1147963761871160102006-05-18T10:49:00.000-04:002006-05-18T10:49:00.000-04:00why is Nicole Eisenman even in this blog entry? an...why is Nicole Eisenman even in this blog entry? and why need a cleansing after her show? what's your point?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-1147899391662653982006-05-17T16:56:00.000-04:002006-05-17T16:56:00.000-04:00Brent!

What a beautiful piece on Nacho -- I am sure his heart is warmed so far from home -- and to be mentioned right after Nicole, who is one of the Gallery's all time favortie artists and an all around super person -- it's really made my day.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that you're as inspired by this work as I was one year ago when Nacho and I began planning to ship this whole crazy enterprise over here from Barcelona -- he made the paintings in his studio for the show in ten months working like 14 hours a day -- it's been a long road.<BR/><BR/>All the Best!<BR/>Brook Bartlett<BR/>Outrageous LookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-1147886019962492922006-05-17T13:13:00.000-04:002006-05-17T13:13:00.000-04:00I have to second your comment about how you could ...I have to second your comment about how you could stare at these for hours...I love these paintings!
