Transection #3, After Fra Angelico 1967

Clarence Holbrook Carter made this painting, Transection #3, After Fra Angelico, and it's all about making these shapes fit together. It's like he's thinking about how colors and forms can create this weird, dreamlike space. The surface is so smooth, almost like glass. It makes you wonder about the time and care he put into each layer. Look at how the red box pops against the cool grays and blacks. It's so vibrant, so full of life, almost like a heart beating in this still, silent world. It reminds me of the surrealist painter Giorgio de Chirico, who also loved to create these strange, unsettling scenes. Art's an ongoing conversation, right? It's all about how we see and understand the world, how we find new ways to express what it means to be alive. And that's something that's always changing.
