Sanford Gifford, A Gorge in the Mountains, 1862

gifford-gorge-in-mtns-1862c.jpg
Gifford fully visualized this painting before he made his first sketch. This is as it had to be. We're seeing a map of how he got to the final canvas, a sort of mind-hand coordination, the miscommunications being pared in a process similar to a sculptor, one of acceptance and rejection, until the canvas presented most nearly what his mind beheld. -- Remus @ Woodpile Report

Your Say

I open a new tab on Remus first thing in the morning and go there and nibble all day long, then I'm almost brought to tears when I get to the last photo's at the bottom.

His site is like a small town newspaper from 60 years ago with a couple 1950's magazines in the middle and a cup of black coffee fresh from the wood stove. Dog on the rug, cat on your lap, shotgun in the corner, and Borkum Riff in the pipe. Ahhhhh.......
