I like your analysis Henry.

These paintings are so different. The first of the seated man facing away, apart from all the symbolism, is done almost in a documentary fashion. Rockwell like as you say.

In very contrasting fashion, the second to me is a study in the art of lost edges. If you circle the painting you can count a fist full of edges that come and go.

To me painting if first about design. Even in the [seemingly] haphazard, free for all nature of the first painting above, there is reason and deliberation to all it's elements.

Mr. Greene's web site is a full year university course to for this student.
