SABATO, EL ONCE DE DICIEMBRE, VIENTE-DIEZ
a stunning Louis Eilshemius painting, 'The Rejected Suitor', 1915, in the Phillips Collection, Washington DC. I'm hoping to see this painting when I head over to DC in February for the Philip Guston 'Roma' exhibition. I've never seen an Eilshemius painting in the flesh, so I'm looking forward to studying it.
My friend Peter showed me the amazing Abrams - published book of his work in the late 90's and along with Von Stuck, Kublin, De Chirico and Bocklin, he's an artist I return to when I want to see potent artworks that are heavy with symbolism and duende.
