Freakin' awesome. I learned about Flavin from watching PBS's Art21 series. (If you aren't already familiar with this series, I highly recommend it.) These pieces are incredible. I love how such a distilled combination of light and color and space can still evoke such powerful feelings. Just incredible.

He's a favorite! I often wonder what we would have seen had he lived longer.
ReplyDeleteOh I know, Jeff. I though the same thing while gathering these images. I feel the same way about Freddy Mercury. It's sad when artists are taken from us before they ought to be.
