The art of Ryno Swart


From my latest newsletter:

Physicality in painting.

Paintings have a physical quality. A painting is a living entitity, it has character, personality, and anatomy.

In looking at some paintings, even of the masters, there is something disturbing about the work, often highly realistic, but they are somehow bloated, lacking in bone structure and in muscle tone. This goes a long way to explain our gut reaction to art.
