SPEAKER AND SUBJECT – Zen Eidel, Anatomy of a Painting                                     

SUMMARY OF TALK

Zen distributed a glossary of some art terms he thought would  be helpful when purchasing a work of art. He said that we all look at art but do not always see. He described the intimacy of a painting and the various sections. He made different pictures from each corner and framed them. Each became a new picture. Each one of us looks at a painting in a different personal way. Only buy a piece of art if you love it.
