My Favorite Paintings

There are many artists who's work I look at regularly. There are artists who's development over the past 30 years has been closely followed by me. I find their work inspiring and intellectually, visually and emotionally satisfying in some way.

But if I had to answer the question, "What are my favorite paintings?" The answer would be only two. I have two favorite paintings. Only two.

My favorite artists are: Van Gogh, Murray, Schnabel, Motherwell, Clemente, deKooning, Rothenberg, Picasso, O'Keeffe, Marden, Hesse. There are others that I look in on, but none that I look at as frequently as I do these artists.



Robert Motherwell, Reconciliation Elegy, 1978




Vincent Van Gogh, Starry Night, 1888
