Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected Sophocles

Delacroix said that a painting must ravish the eyes... and Rachmaninoff maintained that music must exalt. When the arts do not deliver on such levels, we stand bereft. Wim Blom - Journal - December 2, 1992

In a painting I look for a civilised mind at work. The result should reflect carefully selected contents, be well-finished revealing acute observation, taste, sensitivity and impact. If these qualities are badly balanced, or any of them absent, the end product is invariably second rate - or worse. Wim Blom - Journal - October 30, 1998
