Exercise in free color use c. 20th century

Editor: Here we have M. Lupow's "Exercise in free color use", housed at the Harvard Art Museums. The watercolor hues create a captivating drama. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It feels like a raw emotion caught in a storm of color. The orange clashes with the blue, yet they merge, don't they? Perhaps Lupow's trying to show us how conflicting feelings can coexist. Or maybe they simply enjoyed the dance of pigments on paper, without the constraints of form. Editor: So, a liberating experience? Curator: Precisely! It reminds us that art doesn't always need to be about representation. Sometimes, it's just about feeling. I feel emboldened to try this method myself. Editor: I'll definitely keep that in mind when I look at abstract art now.
