Triptych

Chris E had said I should consider the form and its history in art. So on Sunday, whilst searching for loo to use between films and walking, I went into the National Gallery and asked, any triptchs. She sent me to the Sainsbury wing and said most were from 1400ish religous pieces.

Here is a little more from wiki. and I didn't realise till I got to some of them that they were panels in churches... whilst I looked around I wandered, if they took away the two sides what would be left? What do we loose without those panels.

One panel I looked at had a prayer on a side and just reading the wiki in 1944 Fracis Bacan, a dark but very interesting artist I like, did one, 'Three studies for figures at the base of a crucifixation'. Of this he said, "I could not paint Agamemnon, Clytemnestra or Cassandra, as that would have been merely another kind of historical painting…Therefore I tried to create an image of the effect it produced inside me."[32]
