3. I admire his work immensely

The magic of his paintings is that the entire canvas is the focal point. There is nothing to indicate where you start looking so you have to look at all the parts, yet you are aware of the entire painting as a focal point in itself, while your eye sees many focal points. The result is that his paintings are perfectly balanced while still being wildly chaotic.

What’s not to admire in that?!
