| Franz Kline Himself |
Right this second, sitting next to the lovely Sophie in class. L..A...S...T P...E...R...I...O...D of the day. It is dreadful. So, I was telling you all about Mr. Franz Kline. What can I say about him other than he is a complete genius? What I love about him and his paintings is that people stare at them for a few moments or stare at them for hours and sometimes can never realize why a paintings, that looks so simple and so abstract, can be worth millions of dollars? Why is a painting, that looks like it was literally made by a baby, on the walls of famous museums around the world? This is what I have discovered. When you look at his paintings, they look like paintings. They look complete. They look full and as if they are finished. How hard do you think it is to create a painting that looks that complete, that finished, and only uses straight black paint lines? It is actually quite incredible. And it is truly difficult.
