Eyvind Earle (United States, 1916-2000) Golden Hills<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cBeauty will save the world.\u201d \u2013Dostoevsky<\/em><\/p>\n

This and a slew of images to come are from a Tumblr I stumbled onto in the past year, and it has turned out to be a pretty consistent delight for a number of reasons. Its most notable quality is that its contributor often finds and posts work by artists I don\u2019t know or else from a familiar artist I haven\u2019t seen before. I like almost all of what appears here, with an occasional exception, but it\u2019s never predictable and always interesting. The fact that whatever you see at lilacsinthedooryard.tumblr.com<\/a> surprises me is probably indicative of the limited scope of my knowledge, the massive and perpetual surplus of great painting all over the world from the past couple centuries, and\/or the remarkable angling ability of this fisher of artwork, whoever he or she is. There\u2019s a mind behind this site, called Lilacs and Wild Geese<\/em>, on constant lookout for what French phenomenologist Gaston Bachelard called the oneiric <\/em>quality, the aura of the waking dream, which really for me is the universal element of great painting that isn\u2019t agitprop or snark or dutiful transcription of what\u2019s seen. But even that last sort of diligence can\u2019t help but become a dream thanks to its idiosyncratic shortfalls. From a Tumblr bearing an epigram from Dostoevsky and a URL from Walt Whitman would one expect anything less?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
