Study for "Arpa"; verso: blank page 1964

Editor: Here we have Paul Feeley's "Study for Arpa," from around 1960, watercolor on paper. It feels buoyant, almost like looking at life preservers bobbing in the ocean. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Ah, Feeley! He was so playful! It feels intuitive, doesn't it? The repetition, the slightly imperfect circles... it's almost like a visual mantra. Perhaps he was reaching for some universal harmony through simple forms? Don't you feel a rhythm, almost musical? Editor: Yes, the rhythm is definitely there! I hadn't considered the musicality. Curator: It's like a simple song, hummed over and over. Maybe that's the "Arpa" he was searching for... a visual harp. Editor: That's a lovely way to put it. I'll never see this the same way again! Curator: That's the magic of art, isn't it? Always whispering new secrets.
