Thanks for spotting the extra semi-sextiles.<br />I had surmised that he might have had a cluster of planets in 12th - but your idea fits too.<br /><br />The paintings are quite small, compared to most we're used to seeing in galleries. I read somewhere that he often used the tops or bottoms of cigar boxes because he liked the glow from...whatever wood that is - can't recall. I don't dislike most of them, they're interesting rather than arresting, I guess. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-12980845187958472302016-03-18T09:45:40.829-05:002016-03-18T09:45:40.829-05:00I knew of Ryder very superficially, more his name ...I knew of Ryder very superficially, more his name than his paintings. I enjoyed the first video that focused on "Jonah and the Whale"...the autoradiograph disclosure of the woman's face hidden below the layers of oil. He was obviously an artist, but it's clear that he was in essence a researcher of artistic techniques, working and reworking his creations, constantly experimenting. It doesn't seem that a finished product was an objective.<br /><br />I'm not usually drawn to drab coloration, but I like his. Something rather calming about his pieces, even when depicting nature's (gawd's) fury.<br /><br />You mentioned his string of semi-sextiles: Sun, Neptune, Mars. He also has another string: Jupiter, possibly Moon, Mercury-Uranus, Saturn. Two interwoven semi-sextile ---> sextile strings, heavily weighing into a condensed bowl formation. I'm inclined to think the area of his natal chart containing his planets from Taurus through Capricorn was approximately in his first through sixth houses, typical of an enhanced, inward, not very social, reclusive individuals.mikenoreply@blogger.com
