"...I would like to suggest a connection between this discussion of hands and Matisse's own handling. (A huge photograph of Matisse working on his final sculpture while bed-bound in 1950 only underscored this connection for me - the artist's hands are as big as a bear's.) As evidenced from some of his earliest sculptures, having a feel and sense of the material of his sculpture was essential to Matisse, and form the basis of what Bois has called his 'materialistic impulse'."
(excerpt from the blog Miscellany, Inc.)
big hands, big shoes to fill in this world. capability belongs to the greats.
