I one time waited til the docent wasn't watching, then dared to touch -- for who knows what reason -- the 'White Flag' with my fingertip, when it hung in the Jale Art Gallery.

Hope I didn't speed its physical demise. 

As all of Johns's works are now undergoing, those that is in which he used newsprint paper as the underlay to the encaustic. The acid in the cheap newsprint is burning those works up. The various Flags for that reason are all now gone very brown/black.

After consideration...It does sorta resembles B.N., but I'm not one to gossip.

Interesting how the edit went from "your friend" to B.N. Once again, you're a liar and a hypocrite. No wonder my dear escort friend couldn't stomach you.

Lynch himself is a quite remarkable painter/drawer. Not surprisingly.

I was unaware of his paintings, so I did a little reading. My initial reaction is that I don't share your enthusiasm. I find it too dark, depressing, disturbing, and far too violent for my taste. Lacking intellectual analysis, I can only judge by my visual senses. That said, he is fascinating, and a brilliant film maker, however his art is in-keeping with the spirit of this thread...

Everything you discern in his work is absolutely why I adore him.

And you know my sense of shit is not self-destructive!

The opposite, obviously.

I am just endlessly curious.

And convinced of my own indestructability! 

Like you.

But again, why I love him from, I suppose, a 'theoretical' POV (though is there really any such in art viewing?) is that he found a way to bring, repeating myself, figuration back into art.

In contemporarily meaningful ways.

Quite a feat.
