There must be an infinite number of possible thoughts on any one piece of art, but we will only cover seven, a weeks worth. For 52 weeks, through 2009, you will see a work of art from the Portland Art Museum* and a riff each day inspired by it – prose, poetry, photos, video, thoughts or ponderings.

Greed ~ Sue Coe
How does one begin to describe this Sue Coe painting? These rifles, this blood, the bullet holes, the kneeling man, the splash of red, the animal, a big black cat.
A collage of beer cans, McDonalds trash, cigarettes and a hollow eyed figure looking out.
Greed by Sue Coe is a black hole of sickness, something I have never given my attention. Maybe this week, as in weeks past, I will learn to care for something that I currently detest.
ah Amy, thanks for posting this today. I had planned to do it after dinner and before the trip to the airport. For all of you reading Fifty Two Pieces, we are both dealing with close family members who are having serious health issues.
ReplyDeleteTo Amy, you may not ever not detest this piece, but I can assure you that you will grow to admire Sue Coe's work.
