Handsome in so many ways. The rectilinear composition is adroitly broken, as by the ice cream cone and the intriguing reflected scene in the window. The "Closed" signs are subtly echoed by the empty parking spaces. And yet there's a niggling dissonance, as the saturated blue of the building implies freshly painted and welcome to the new season. Time, here, is being playfully juggled. The overall processing is compelling. It adds to the sense of nostalgia, of summers past. An abiding quiet that lingers and fulfills.
Gave a seven. Sorry, should be a nine or ten. |
