When Matisse died (in 1954), Picasso lamented: "Now who can I discuss color with?"

Freedom with color appears in Gaugin, Van Gogh, and Cezanne, but Matisse and the Fauvists especially were willing to experiment, and used rich colors in bold juxtaposition. The cubists were more muted, and sometimes almost monotone. Soon, though, the interest in color captured most artists, one way or another. The poetry of color was liberated, as objective representation receded, until, by the Abstract Expressionist, painting became mostly color, with little interest in line.

I will save music for another day......

. I long for the time when modern musicians, including pop artists, will seek to express themselves in longer, more complex phrases and grander forms — rather than the current repetitive one bar phrases that border on minimalism. "

I used to play at a club called the Harlem club in Montreal. We played R&B upstairs and downstairs they played jazz. Between sets I ran downstairs to listen to the great Jazz musicians the club brought in. OF all the greats I heard my favorite was McCoy Tyner who was the piano player for John Coltrain. Phew now that was rich music.
