I find the near mystical interpretation of the primary colors to be of especially intriguing significance. He seems to be redefining the colors to mean something personally more than the strictly realist painters that preceded him. This has the effect, at least to my mind, of making his paintings more "real" simply because the essence is conveyed through more than just the forms of the subject.

And then we have the deliberate choices of the artist blurring the realistic with the abstract... Truly, this is proof that art serves more than to be a photographic representation of the subject.

Well done, and I enjoyed your essay! Bravo! Can't wait to read more... :)
