The bust at San Souci palace also exists in an abandoned palace, within Haiti, a country which also has been discarded, abandoned.

Different to forgotten.

It’s a wilful act. It didn’t fall overboard, it was pushed.

The complexity, in all of this, is the intent.

If you come across work by Frida Kahlo, try to make it a surprise, try to go alone. Print out a painting on bad paper, only when your printer’s ink cartridge is running out, and go to a park with it.

Take nothing else. Forget that it’s a piece by Frida Kahlo. Go and spend some time with it, as you might a new friend, and see what it has to say, by itself, in the silence, in the park, on a Tuesday morning, on a surprisingly warm - out of season - day. And as you get to know each other, vow never, NEVER to visit the Casa Azul, or stand in line to watch art, ever again.

As a physical reaction, an art review, like a poem, should make the reader stop, take a breath or a moment, and look out of the train window at the passing landscape.

Even if the reader is not on a train, able to stop and look out, this should be the metaphysical effect that is generated. When we read a well-written review, we should all find ourselves on that train carriage, taking that moment, sitting with a thought or an idea, as the world happens around you.

A new exhibition at Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago conveys the universal human act of grasping at wisps, distilled through a palette of earthy colors.
