your brain. How to make that
kind of art?
At left is a curious painting and to the right is a painted fantasy landscape.
But when you know that the artist of the left painting is dark skinned,

Here are several expressionistic paintings.
The frame seems empty, at first.
But then you feel that it is not empty.
There is something. A soul?
Xylophones showing relation betwen tone, form and color.
This art work has no good form, no good color.
