Drama & Desire

after nearly everyone i know recommended this print show i finally made it over to the museum. i am still trying to process alot of the stuff that i saw. the things that stand out...i was astonished at the age, fragility, vs vibrancy and intact-ness. These scrolls are pristine. i am so taken with their physical presents that the images are secondary. i know completely that the reason that the scroll has just a command over a space is the supreme mastery of these printers but i found myself checking out how things were pieced together and the differences between a landscape scroll (so sexy!) and one of the more traditional vertical scrolls. i liked the screens but the scrolls are amazing. i ended up getting one of the books of the prints from the museum shop and then proceeded straight to blick to acquire supplies. i have not had my hand in art very much lately and seeing that and having so many impressions flash through my head i just need to focus of doing some work.
