I've never seen that deKooning. It's marvelous. An obvioius Picasso influence. What, however, about the color is Duchampish? I do like the effect of analogous colors--I always forget to use them except for breaking up areas with variety or nuance. One day I would like to dedicate an entire picture to that principle.

It's basically mono-chromatic -- even the brownish tones are muted orange, but, of course, the hint of blue and the black which is not a color but the absence of color. The landmark birth of modern art was the Armory Show in 1913 and the most talked about piece of art was Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase," a painting in mono-chromatics towards the amber ushering in Futurism (he was more than a Dadaist). Duchamp painted three versions of that image, and many in different chroma. Exactly what he was doing -- breaking up areas with variety or nuance to show motion.

Good. Now I see the Duchamp influence. It's obvious now that you've identified it.

Amigo, I'm hoping you'll clarify-- because I don't want to watch an 8 minute video on propaganda.

It's a very interesting take on the subject. It is not about politics.
