At the Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts, where I made a pilgrimage to see an exhibit of screenprints by my beloved Rauschenberg last week, my friend leaned over the upstairs railing and caught this more organic creation in action.
I’m not sure you could have staged this any better if you had tried. The angle of the girls’ arms, the perfectly placed wadded-up paper towels, the food on the plates, the different-color liquids in the cups (don’t drink the paint cup by accident, kids!).
I must chime in to agree with LP. I especially like the contrast and juxtaposition of the cup of orange juice and the cup of blue paint. The angles of the artists’ arms are perfect. Note, too, how the pencil immediately to the right of the woman on the right is parallel with the brush directly in front of the woman on the left. And plus . . . the brush to the left of the woman on the left is parallel to the purple brush to the right of the pencil. Both sets of paralleling implements then also more or less parallel one of the two artists’ extended arms. There are so many vectors of energy in this that I could stare at it for hours and probably still see more.

This is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing!
I want to drink that aquamarine goo.
