The Vogels...Herb & Dorothy

While painting this evening I also watched/listened to 'Herb & Dorothy' on Netflix on Demand.  Herb & Dorothy have been collecting art since they were married in the early 1960s.  They were devoted to collecting, in particular, minimalist art.  It was interesting to get to know them a bit as a couple of modest means but with an intense passion for art that they funneled into collecting art.  The movie offered a unique view into a specific part of the New York art world of the late 20th century to be sure.  But most of all it was inspiring to see the passion with which they loved the art they bought and also the relationships they cultivated with the artists they collected.

I painted a small piece inspired by them.  I would show it to you but I can't get my scanner to scan the whole piece. Only random parts of it. Hmm. Going to have to figure that out.  ahem.
