here is another good man
Bernard Chaet
(born 1924, Boston, MA - died 2012) was an American artist; Chaet is known for his colorful, dynamic modernist paintings and masterful draftsmanship, his association with the Boston Expressionists, and his 40-year career as a Professor of Painting at Yale University. His works also include watercolors and prints. In 1994, he was named a National Academician by the National Academy of Design.

I love finding paintings by a painter that lead one to another... here an example by Bernard Chaet of a still life studied from two different points of view. I suggest these are samples of a painter more interested in study than constructing a work for entertainment. art made for entertainment is not art. I think I'm onto something finally.
here is something to watch about a good man.

on a side note - I often hear that one needs to be careful not to make a painting all too Busy / all to Active. I have come to question what is one to do if they have an active / busy mind? perhaps take a lesson from Bernard?
