What Has Influenced You As An Artist? #3


The Tempest, by Giorgione, c.1505


This painting completely enchanted and riveted me as a child. The strange, silent air of it - the coming storm - the woman and child not seeking shelter, the upright onlooker...it had the saturated, immediate quality of a dream.
Between this painting and the Velasquez portrait (below), the emotional and intuitive course of my art was set.
