quote
In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous.

Turner
Northam Castle, Sunrise Clore Gallery, London
Turner is a favourite artist of mine and I have been looking at some of the things he has done.
There is a Turner exhibition on at the met in New York it looks well worth a visit.
turner liked to push paint around until he could see a images and was not adverse to using his fingers to paint.
