I think his portraits are frequently caricatures like Goya's and that could never be said or hinted in his time. His pictures of Italy have a sort of sci-fi tinge because of their coloring and that wouldn't have been understood in his time. Work in iron forges is still an uncommon theme of pictures. His light is often unnatural - such as phosphorus light. In general there is a disharmonious element in almost every picture (including his landscapes which are geologically accurate but not peaceful nostalgia and not topographical celebrations of wealth) for which there is no explanation in the literature about Wright. Here we see intimations of the oncoming next two centuries as the middle class, not the upper class, would experience them? wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579264026890509093.post-33524440208788332732014-06-13T13:33:34.761+01:002014-06-13T13:33:34.761+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Reading For Hot Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254192859522998875noreply@blogger.com
