grey-over of HU 1 / by Philip Tarlow

3:12 PM: i felt this morning that hu 1 sorely needed simplification, so that the key elements of the composition could shine, as occured with almost half of the paintings in my jazz series, which you can view here: https://www.philiptarlow.com/current

the human figures, as well as the floating duck, now sing their songs uninterrupted by compositional fury. the blue rectangle of color on the upper left is tasked with holding the note; holding the space, which i think works unexpectedly well!

hu 1 following the grey-over

the grey in hu 1 functions in much the same way as it does in jazz 8, 37x35” which you see here.
