Yesterday, my friend David took me to see the Abstract Expressionist exhibit at the AGO. While I appreciated the Rothkos and the Pollocks for studying them at art school, the one piece that really jumped out was the painting (above) by Lee Krasner, the wife of Pollock. Based loosely on a system of "hieroglyphs", I loved the grid-based composition, and how it felt like letters were revealing themselves to you, almost like a code, waiting to be decrypted.
Thanks David - this was a great treat for the eyes.
