ART-IN-TIME GALLERY ROOM 10:
REVISITING FAVORITE THEMES
|
Gene Gould once wrote: "Artists are never satisfied with their paintings - that's why they make new ones.
I, too, always think my next painting will be the best one."

|
 |
| |
| Shown here are three artworks
that Gene Gould seemed particularly attached to. Was that because the
themes they
symbolized kept generating novel and better ideas in his
artistic mind?
As illustrated below, looking through later
Gene Gould artworks, this concept of successive new paintings improving on
a favorite theme makes perfect sense. |

RECURRING THEME 3: Two peoples walking away

Note how two of Gene Gould's favorite themes (reflections on water and two
people walking) are actually combined in this last painting. |
