SHAPES


Shapes is refreshing; a hodge-podge of irregular forms pieced together randomly. It is an oil that Claude Bovee did about a year ago. The song Shapes of Things by The Yardbirds is the inspiration, and is meant to be played while you meditate on the painting. Then you may want to view "Blowup" (Michaelangelo Antonioni) where Jeff Beck raves and breaks-up his guitar. This is the way Swinging London needs to remembered! I own a copy of the DVD now, and it is my favorite film for now. It defines the idea of conspiracy, (& implies that photography has the key to many riddles) that reared its hideous head in the 1960s!
