At the Hirshhorn, I learned about an artist that I didn’t know–Yves Klein. His work really intrigued me. According to the Hirshhorn exhibition catalog–he is self-identified as “the painter of space,” and he sought to achieve immaterial spirituality through pure color.
I found a prayer he must have recited to his higher power and patron saint. Due to the limited space permit me to paraphrase, “May you live in my works so that they may become more beautiful and that I may discover regularly new things in my art–may all that emerges from me be more beautiful.”
This brought back memories of the relationship I had with my higher power when I was young… was nice to be reminded. Really appreciated the discovery.
I know… the dangers here with the word beautiful but substitute any word that is more relevant to you and your work.
