Como 

Editor: So, this is Hercules Brabazon Brabazon’s "Como," held at the Tate. It’s a small pastel drawing, almost like a fleeting memory of a place. What strikes me is how dreamlike it feels, like a half-remembered vacation. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Dreamlike is perfect! It’s the essence of Brabazon, isn’t it? He wasn't after photorealism; he wanted to capture the *feeling* of a place. Look at those strokes of blue – are they clouds or just a mood? He’s inviting us into his personal experience, and that's what makes it sing. It’s not about *what* he saw, but *how* he saw it. Editor: It's like he's painting with emotions rather than colors. I never thought of it that way. Curator: Exactly! He tosses realism out the window and grabs for something more…felt. Next time you travel, try capturing the feeling, not just the photo.
