I feel like I can always count on you to see things with fresh eyes.......being open to really looking at those paintings is a feat in itself, given all the attention / inches of text they have garnered. I agree with Dee, my favorite part of this post is your observation that 'happy' art is the hardest kind to pull off -- or the 'happy' facet of complicated things is hard to represent without seeming glib or pollyanna. For my part, I can't imagine liking the DH paintings -- but then I HAVn't actually bothered to SEE them, and so -- joke's on me, I guess.
