Beautiful Art

I recently came across a you tube video of the German artist George Baselitz that is worth a look. The video features recent work that he walks through with an interviewer. In a vast exhibition hall his deep German voice and age combined with the echoes in the hall add to a rich and intelligent ambiance. It's interesting to see how the paintings inhabit the space and charge it with a quiet intellect. Seeing paintings and a painter like this is inspiring.
