Untitled 1961

This is a painting by Luis Feito, and it's all about the push and pull between black and white. Just imagine him, maybe in his studio in Madrid, brush loaded, making these bold, sweeping gestures. It’s interesting to think how the act of painting itself becomes a form of inquiry. Look at the texture, the way Feito layers the paint, thick in some areas, thin in others, creating a real sense of depth and movement. That big, black stroke across the middle isn't just a line, it feels like a statement, a confident mark that anchors the whole composition. The way the forms are stacked reminds me of the work of Franz Kline, who explored similar ideas about the relationship between space and gesture. Ultimately, painting is a conversation, a dialogue between artists across time. We don't have fixed ideas or definitive answers. Instead, we are simply in search of new ways of seeing and feeling.
