La façade before 1975

Nono Reinhold made this print, La Façade, and I am loving the building block energy. The dark, inky black, contrasted with the faded brick is just great, I can imagine Reinhold was really focused here, and I know that feeling: the pure joy in applying each tone, the push and pull, and the sense of discovery as the composition slowly reveals itself. There’s a lot of trial and error, trust me! Each mark is a kind of emotional note. I wonder if he knew Albers’ work with colour, and how this façade might resonate with that. I love the fact that art can be so different, yet so connected. It reminds me that we're all, as artists, in an ongoing conversation through time. We’re constantly inspiring each other’s creativity. And it's so interesting that, through painting, Reinhold offers us a way of seeing and experiencing this building in such a unique and simple way.
