where am I then?

not dead, just busy writing 8,000 words preface for 'Poussin's Humour' book - a book, yes, eventually, but I'll post a .pdf file of preface, or a summary of it, sometime soon - considering options for publishing thru internet.

re-reading TJClark's 'The Sight of Death' - most interested in his account of the painting in the painting of 'The Calm' - the comments on what he calls for short 'Snake' are also interesting, not so much because they focus on defining Poussin's meanings, but because they include all those features of a personal relation to the painting that are commonly suppressed in art history, although artworks do work that way.

& yesterday, browsing, found in uni library 'Wittgenstein,Aesthetics & Philosophy' ed Peter B.Lewis, Ashgate, 2004 - Ch I, 'W.& the aesthetic domain' by Kjell S .Johannessen, usefully, points to W.'s use of 'aesthetic' in what KSJ calls 'a discourse-phenomenological' sense of the word, fastening on the language used in 'direct' encounters with artworks. p.20 - that seems to me to fit well with TJC's work - & feels compatible with my project too, insisting on ekphrasis as fundamental to any discussion of artworks. Mark W. Rowe's ch 4 'criticism without theory' looks useful too. pp 73 -93. so far, interesting reading...

all good wishes to Poussinistes everywhere - &, naturally, to Rubenistes too

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

I am curious to find out what blog platform you're utilizing? I'm having some minor security issues with my latest website and I'd like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Many thanks!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
