Abstract Clarity
We went to the Pola Art Museum in Hakone to view the Tsuguharu Foujita art exhibition (paintings, not photography).
Why is this a photography related weekend plan? Two reasons.
One - I find paintings to be inspirational for my photography because painters get to paint what they want to see not what they actually see. When I see their artistic work I feel inspired. I want to create photographs that somehow convey the same feelings despite being restricted to the reality of what is in front of my lens.
Two - Foujita, a Japanese man, had an interesting history, traveled to France after WWI to study art and became famous because of his milky white skin color technique and then went on to travel the world looking for inspiration and he also took many photographs during his travels.
Anyway, It was a fantastic weekend!
All the best,
Mike
