The strange thing about heads is that the more you leave out, the more intense the expression becomes. In a different way than in portrait painting. It has absolutely nothing to do with that. These figures are just that to me: figures. They’re sexless, they have no special attributes. They are specters, shadows. What’s very important to me is the intensity, the presence. What that does. 
What it does in the painting. 
What it does with the viewer.  –Max Neumann

this is one of those exhibits that you must visit because of the relationships between space and scale, light and shadow.My first thoughts about the exhibitions were of, A.Giacometti the Easter islands statues and a still from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.I decided this year not to critique but to post art that I would want to own. These would definitely be part of my imaginary museum. Maybe one image in one room alone.
