Franz Kline - Black Reflection, 1959. Oil on canvas
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC:
In 1956, Kline reintroduced color. Black Reflections, an intensely colored small work on paper, may in fact relate to an earlier black and white piece. Kline’s work, so apparently spontaneous or impulsive in its emphasis on highly dramatic gestural brushstrokes, is, in fact, carefully considered. The sweeps and rapid brushings of both thick and diluted paint are the product of much meditation. He often drew inspiration for large compositions from small studies, and he also continued explorations of key elements in works even years after their creation. In this case, the central black shape is a mirror image of the shape in a black and white untitled painting of 1954.

very interesting. jon stewart is incredibly thoughtful and articulate, and i love his socrates-esque way of forcing you to question your assumptions and be more precise with language.
