Where the Loyalties Lie

  • Just when you thought that you knew exactly what a Bak painting/image meant, you realized that you had many more doors to open and ideas to explore.

    Are you committed to the Bak Pear visual language or to the Cup talk? In that he is able to render materials with such fidelity, there is no way to know which object dominates the discussion.

    Add the leaves and the distant vista and we all at a loss to know to whom we should be loyal to.
    What a gift to one's curiosity!
