Don Van Vliet
"Parapliers The Willow Dipped", 1987
Oil on canvas.
198 x 147 cm / 78 x 57.75 inches
Here is Don's own description of his painting, from an interview with his friend Rip Rense in 1988:
"Hmmm. Looks like a landscape. There's a veridian mountain. There's also... I started to say an elk, but it isn't an elk, it's a carp... down at the bottom, under the mountain. Naturally. The carp is Hoggar blue, flesh, has two eyes, and various blues and greens. And a big Hoggar blue tail! And I'm trying to hold the thing down with my finger! Above that, there are some non-objective markings in black. There's a clicking time (clock) on this landscape and above that is violet, kind of... God, you know, it's hard to talk about paintings!"
