I do marvel at how much "way leads onto way" (Robert Frost) when I use the internet and follow a topic.
Today's catch I found on ArtNews - an auction report about a British artist seldom found outside the country, and evidently little known.

I'm thinking of the empty streets of Giorgio del Chirico, the particularly of placement of Giorgio Morandi, the limitations of palette of Bernard Buffet, the naïf, outsider quality of Rousseau,the American industrial scene painters,and surrealism's haunted quality. His life story, with its repressed lonely interiority, reminded me of Joseph Cornell.
He is a very reductive, stylized artist, easy to respond to. I admire the selectivity and excisions he makes from the scenes he chooses to paint or draw.

Sexual symbols of male and female, staircases ascending. I wish I'd had this artist to base a student project upon.
