“dancers” and 3/26/25 ano kato changes / painting fragment / the closet / by Philip Tarlow

12:41 PM: i made some tweaks to dancers and 3/26/25 ano kato this morning. in 3/26/25 ano kato, above left, the changes were mostly to the fifure on the lower left, and the ochre surrounding the legs of the dancer on the upper left is new as well.

in dancers, above right, the tweaks are more subtle, but i think you can make out the two grey curves just to the right and left of the two lower figures, which help balance the composition.

fragment of a painting, date unknown, 18x22”, oil on canvas

10:49 AM: while glancing up at my studio loft area, my eye caught this fragment of a large painting on canvas, date unknown, which was rolle up. i went up with a scissors and cut out this piece, whic i think is fabulous. it measures roughly 18x22”. i temporarily mounted it on board with masking tape.

yesterday, a gallery owner from Nicosia emailed me and attached a photo of this painting, which he says he purchased recently in athens. he didn’t include info on who the seller was, but i do have a faint memory of making this painting, sometime in the mid-60’s, in my athens studio, or possibly on andros.
