The Dutch contemporary realist and figurative painters have developed an astonishingly good feeling for composition, beside their traditionally marvelous painting technique, especially the still life painters are great. I have learned much about the composition from them.<br /> <br />As for the man’s back, I have a good friend, an excellent painter and a sensitive artist, a guy from the US, currently living in Germany, who said exactly the same thing about the man’s back and how it could be a painting on its own. Back then, I was not able to see that because the illustrator, the story teller in me needed more elements, more stuffed compositions, in order to tell its story. Later, after I “told” in my pictures all the stories of a particular kind I needed to tell, I understood what he meant.<br />I am glad you made the same remark :-)<br /><br />As for my book on Giants…well, as I said, things have changed. This book can be something really special, or it can be an ordinary (or a pretentious) fiasco! <br />Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-51593198033572388762013-07-16T19:50:07.462+02:002013-07-16T19:50:07.462+02:00Hi, Petar ))

This painting was initially created as one of the pieces from the series “The Theatre of Life”. <br />Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-79016376807361984922013-07-16T17:12:15.195+02:002013-07-16T17:12:15.195+02:00I believe this was the first painting of yours tha...I believe this was the first painting of yours that truly affected me. I may have seen a few others first but small. I could tell you were a wonderful painter but when I saw this I knew you were more. What really stands out for me, beyond the obvious wonderful paint, are the decisions to paint tight here looser there. And especially the compositions within compositions. I remember thinking the man's back could be a stunning composition itself.<br /><br />By the way, you make me want to do a "giant" book.billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616075975131350091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-55853478949858434282013-07-16T13:55:47.859+02:002013-07-16T13:55:47.859+02:00fine work, theatrical performance of light well wo...fine work, theatrical performance of light well works :))Сергей Логиновhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09563878265605731157noreply@blogger.com
