Johannes Vermeer
|
I viewed original Vermeer paintings in New York museums around 1953. I later saw other Vermeer's in the Netherlands and in The National Gallery. Vermeer became the painter who has meant the most to me. I particularly admired his portrayal of pregnant women as symbols of life everlasting. In doing collage paintings I have incorporated many reproductions of his work. I have written on Vermeer's composition and perceptual features of Head of a Young Girl and Woman Holding a Balance that I believe are contributions to art history. The View of Delft is the finest landscape in all of western art. |
