Baziotes Versus 1963

“ Dusk “ fell upon his rickety heart.  Five years before his death; 1958 stripped.  William Baziotes lured in the deposition of thought, word, and deed.  Principles of art had changed with his lust for color.  Descriptions of a Cahill run New Deal project provided the threshold for work, wisdom and sacrifice.  The only difference was that as the New Deal would supersede; the dusk would fall upon Baziotes.  

Each life that Baziotes revealed through artwork created a motive for the eventual downfall of a “great”.  As the cubist movement of the early to middle twentieth century exposed many; left to none were the blank thoughts of those less than worthy artists.
