I am famillar with the abstract poneer Barnett Newman and I am aware of the resemblance to his works.
What does the c.f. stand for?

art-monster In reply to Octavus [2005-09-03 20:27:05 +0000 UTC]

It should have been "cf.", abbreviated latin for confer, which means "compare." This is one of those things I didn't bother to look up myself until this year. Sorry if the comment was useless. I thought it might be relevant for observers to mention BN in the context of your drip image for comparison or if you wanted to expand on this image you could compare with BN's work for working ideas, etc.

This link defines "cf.": [link]

Thanks.

Everyone should study the abstract pioneers such as Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock.

I love the contrasting colours against the white border, very effective.

The texture also makes this shot an interesting one, if not simple. Very nice

Encore une fois le constraste colle parfaitement, elle pourrait rejoindre ton oeuvre "forte", tu pourrais même avec....Une chose que j'apprécie beaucoup dans cette photo est le centre de l'image, la texture du mur en bleu et la goutte orangé passant coté me fait penser à du négatif photographique. Une chose que j'aime moins par contre, ce sont les bords blancs autour de ta photo, je trouve qu'elle n'en a absolument pas besoin, mais c'est mon avis personnel.

I feel like I could just grab one of the drops and start peeling upwards. I love the orange and the complementary blue. One of my favorite color combinations.

"Litta samsetning dauðans"

Þessir litir koma roslega sterkt útt saman enda andstæðir litir. Roslega góð skerpa í myndinni, roslega stert hvernig skugarnir og byrtan kemur fram á málingunni sem er að renna niður. Góð mynd og skemtilega úttfærð fangar augað um leið

didn't we see a similar shot in past. This is stunning in it's simplicity and this amazing colors. The light and sharpness works very well here too. I'm deeply impressed by this wonderful abstract piece.
