Gray and Gold
Fascinating insights about the\xa0Gray and Gold\xa0Painting lie ahead, including:
- John Rogers Cox: Bank Teller-Painter-Soldier-Painter
- Fences and distance in\xa0Gray and Gold
- Magic mixed with Realism
- A meticulous method
Paintings like\xa0Gray and Gold\xa0by Cox aren\u2019t what one might think of as art about war. It lacks literal soldiers and arms. But that\u2019s because this painting portrays war through analogy. This natural landscape might not contain any people. But human emotion permeates the picture. Cox wields fury and frustration in a controlled chaos of weather. The clouds loom with foreboding grey peaks and an ominous black sky behind. This represents human nature\u2019s shadow side. That\u2019s why we go to war.
