seventy.five


Blind Insomnia 2
"I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over. I come into the studio very fearfully, I creep in to see what happened the night before. And the feeling is one of, 'My God, did I do that?'"
Philip Guston, Canadian-born American Abstract Expressionist Painter (1913-1980)

I adore Guston's statement.
The delirium of the night is captivating. I'm a bit apprehensive to revisit these paintings tomorrow, however.
