...trend may be encouraging, a hint that Hollywood movies demand more complex characters, not just more elaborate special effects. Or it may be further evidence of the industry's creeping conservatism. Studio bosses haven't become more literate.

Orange and yellow hues which are etched onto the canvas side by side in the plane of purple, maroon and red hint at forms, not of anything recognizable but an area distinguished from the rest. This creates an intriguing tension between the equality of all the areas of the painting engendered by the harsh texture of the paint application, and the vague semblance of forms attributable to the proximity of similar colors...
