#395 Les Bon Jours de Monsieur Ingres



Somewhere, sometime, I took
this Ingres figure out of con-
text & painted around the
space that remained. That's
how I felt at the time: caught
up with inference & reference,
seeking to highlight what was-
n't there. I've moved on, have

decided to return & fill the
spaces once again, not with
the figures seen by antiquity but
as if they came from the circus
or commedia dell'arte — the clowns,
the dancing bears, the harlequins.
