I’ve been looking at some Robert Ryman images in preparation for our visit to DIA Beacon and I like what I see. The impetus for the DIA trip is the Robert Irwin book that we went crazy over. Irwin designed the repurposed Nabisco box factory on the Hudson for the DIA foundation. He talked about Ryman’s influence in the book and so I tracked Ryman down. I like this Ryman quote from the sixties. “There is never a question of what to paint, but only how to paint.”
It bugs me when people deface trees but I have to admit this little yellow patch on a tree near Eastman Lake looks pretty sensational.

I believe that patch is a blaze used to guide people along the trail, not a defacement. Were there others?
There are others and they are all defacements.
