This is not really an art blog, it’s an artist’s blog. Here is where I keep track of art that inspires, intrigues and (on occasion) irks me. I try to give credit to the artist(s) responsible for the piece(s) I post here…And if a piece is my own you’ll certainly know. This next bit, is a quote from one of the most curious books I’ve read: “The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less”. My advice to mankind: If you want to survive in this world, you need to be indifferent to pain. rm_f1st('0','182','true','false','ffffff','6rzgazkp6h9','true','fff600'); Ask Me Something, won’t you? ^

The clouded lenses prevented him from seeing anything but reds and yellows.</p> <p>In 1923, he underwent cataract surgery and had the lens removed from his right eye, resulting in a condition called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphakia">aphakia</a>. Through this lens-less eye Monet could now see deep into the blues, and <strong>perhaps into the ultraviolet range</strong> (usually obscured by our lens), barely able to focus using special eyeglasses.</p> <p>The paintings above are of the <strong>same scene</strong>. The red and yellow version is painted as seen through his left eye, limited to the wavelengths allowed by his cataract. The painting on the right is deep blue and violet, as seen through an eye with no lens. Who can imagine how those colors appeared to his eye while being mixed on his palette?</p> <p>In one sense, the surgery handicapped Monet from full creative perception. But at the same time it provided him with a perspective that perhaps no other artist had.
