The article’s title is nice, too, though I find the body of the text a little… trying too hard to be poetic?
"These palette knifes are the claws to West's bird of painterly song. West and her knifes are as inseparable as Todd and his razors; they are crucial extensions of her arm. They dictate the topography of her landscapes, which are invariably convulsive, as if in tsunamic upheaval."
I worry a bit about sounding like that. I agree it's not the artist's fault. I like her style.
The Mendelsohn portrait is quite good, even if I maintain that he is much more unusual-looking without the mustache.
