Follow on from my last post. Phil peruses the “interesting” bio of Rodney before we ventured into the exhibition.
The Museu D’art Contemporani De Barcelona had a show by Rodney Graham. It confused me no end. But at the very end it had some of his abstract paintings which were absolutely beautiful. Both Phil and myself stood for a long time soaking up the shapes and colours. No photography allowed as you can see!
The only credit I can take for this is pressing the shutter. I was trying out the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens and Vlastimil came up with the idea of holding his glasses in front of his eye. It was late and we had had a good few pints at that stage!! No photoshoppery involved apart from a bit of cross-processing.

Reminds me of something that J. D. Salinger said, “Just because I’m so horribly conditioned to accept everybody else’s values, and just because I like applause and people to rave about me, doesn’t make it right. I’m ashamed of it. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. I’m sick of myself and everybody else that wants to make some kind of a splash.”
The last of the snow shots for now. I’m just back from Barcelona so will have a few from there soon.
