Visited the Tate in Liverpool today. Quite taken with 'Hyena Stomp'. The title from a track by the American jazz musician Jelly Roll Morton. The artist, Frank Stella was 'thinking about syncopation while working on the painting: the alternation of colours appearing to have an irregular but rhythmic pattern.' This and other works are on show at the Liverpool Tate until September 13 in the exhibition, Colour Chart - Reinventing Colour 1950 to today.
