guido molinari

sadly, guido molinari has died.

many of his paintings are delicious.

you can get a taste at art[image].

i'm particularly a fan of his modernist works. while tiny pictures in art books do little to give you the full force of these paintings, standing in front of one of his large works absolutely captivated me. the painting was highly emotionally charged, or, rather, i was upon sharing a space with it.

quebec has produced some great painters - claude tousignant has also produced some equally wonderful work. i wonder where one goes to see a whole bunch of these paintings? somewhere in quebec might be a good start, i reckon. probably a place like museé d'art contemporain. i'll make it there eventually.
