Exercise in free color use c. 20th century

Curator: This small watercolor, "Exercise in free color use," by M. Lupow, feels like a pure burst of feeling. Editor: Yes, it washes over me with a breezy, almost childlike innocence. Is it just me, or does the fluid blend of yellow, pink, and blue carry an almost Eden-like feel? Curator: It’s fascinating to see how Lupow approaches the interplay of these hues, allowing them to bleed and merge in unpredictable ways. Perhaps the freedom of color is not just in the hues themselves, but how they interact, maybe hinting at the artist's inner feelings? Editor: Absolutely. The absence of clearly defined forms encourages a kind of contemplative openness. I sense a yearning, too—a sort of visual echo of seeking something beyond the immediate. I find myself thinking about the potential within these pigments. Curator: It definitely holds a feeling of potential. These colors together sing a little tune of hope, and something about that just leaves me feeling lighter. Editor: For me, it evokes a sense of looking up at the sky as a child, full of wonder at the endless possibilities.
