I want people to want to touch my art - I want that connection & I want THEM to want that connection. And I totally understand.<BR/><BR/>I was once at a show of Ansel Adams' photographs, and there was one - it was a Polaroid - that LITERALLY took my breath away. I finally understood what the word breathtaking meant. But there it was - just a Polaroid - but Ansel knew he had it. One could just see him looking at the snapshot & saying to himself "Got it!". No need for more. It was incredible.<BR/><BR/>Touching Matisse. That's a book title. I expect to read it soon! :)<BR/><BR/>Love, Debid smith kaich joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450581639610967780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-26326912268000584642008-08-06T21:16:00.000+02:002008-08-06T21:16:00.000+02:00Wow - I've never seen that before.

I have longed to touch several painting in my life and would have never dared...<BR/><BR/>I think you describe marvelously how a piece of art can move you, to feelings and insights that you would never have by seeing a photograph of that same art. You make me think of the five pieces that I might choose.tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-57512509884436366332008-08-05T05:15:00.000+02:002008-08-05T05:15:00.000+02:00My goodness, this is a wonderful piece of writing....My goodness, this is a wonderful piece of writing.
