2000 Madrid Paintings



The Madrid Paintings were painted in a barn in Madrid, New Mexico. I made paintings in 1986 and 1987 that refered to Goya and I liked this name Madrid, even though in New Mexico it is pronounced Mad--rid, stress on the first syllable.



Here at the end of one century and the beginning of the next I was going over all the moves I'd made , trying to put them all in one painting.



They stand up well, and I will revisit them. Again, as in the past they are a symbolic tightening of the themes I've used.
