"Blue Pillar and Landscape" - Ben Kinmont
Mar. 31st, 2009 10:38 pmDated 10 February 1983 in pencil on the work.
I bought this at a student art sale at Pomona College. My memory is that most of the other work for sale was all by seniors -- Kinmont at the time was either a freshman or a sophomore. Kinmont has his own website now -- BenKinmont.com -- and has gone into mostly performance art.
I can see why one would do that from a career perspective. Still, I think it's a shame he gave up painting. I've always liked the hyper-impressionistic feel of this piece -- as if one is on the veranda of a house on a tropical hillside.
