Sophie Jodoin



"War series"
I'm sorry but I have to go..I wish I could expand on Sophie's art a little bit..When I came across one of her paintings 10 years ago I was struck by the strong filiation(French I know but can't be bothered!) her work had to Rembrandt's at a time when obsession with Modernism was strongly the ordre de jour.
Check her out you'll be dazzled by a unique talent..Absolute mastery...

    This is off topic, but check out the headline of this article, then the firs paragraph. I can't decide whether it was a sloppy mistake or if it was calculated to mislead:

    Joe this the worse type of manipulation I have ever seen in my whole life. I can't even imagine that such such people would resort to such base and despicable methods..Only excuse..DESPERATION in PR war.

    These works are very disturbing...as they were meant to be I guess.

    These pictures in some instances are a vivid depiction of war and the absolute twisting and torture brought upon humanity by such.  Black and white cannot accentuate or express with color so it is given to minute detail. In these instances Sophie captures the agony of humanity,  by which some have the temerity to suggest that they a liberating people.

    I have a photograph which captures this twisted agony in Palestine,  it is of a child holding another child in hiding,  and there is no way to deny the story in this child's face -

    Have you been to Dulwich Gallery, Tgia? It is a jewel of a small museum.

    After I hgad a close look at Jodoin's latest work I'm starting to see in which way a new whole orientation my work could have.. Rarely felt in a similar fashion before.
