"I prefer the exquisite Dionysian ferocity of Matisse’s Dance I, which emphasizes communal release"
I guess we just need a picture of The Dance to make his point. He just likes more abstract and works with firmer shapes.
RE the Turner in your previous post. I love it too. It reminds me of a story of heard of him: that when in a train, if it was raining, he would stick his head out of the window to feel the wind and rain on his face. In a storm at sea, he had himself tied to the mast so that he could feel the storm. I'd get really sick if someone did that to me! And in a train, I prefer to read and sleep. Alas, I guess I'm not Turner.
