Sean Scully
Comment about Sean Scully (painting at Try Me) from Alice Anne
I am glad that I saw his work at the VMFA along with his photographs of doors. The photographs really helped me understand the paintings more, I think. I really LIKED the paintings. I just didn't know what else to say about them, or, rather, how to start saying things about them. For instance, the colors were muted, so.....what? Now I can attach "muted" to "weathered," "old," "time-worn," etc. The doors opened doors...

I agree completely as I've always been attracted to his work, but never knew where it came from. He spoke to a small group at the VMFA late last summer and I was touched and inspired by his humility and grace. He spoke about those photos and the tremendous poverty and beauty he witnessed in that small village.
