12. Bruce Brooks Bruce Brooks' "Tree of Blood," 60"X54" on canvas. Materials are mixed mediums; oil, acrylic, alkyd, collage, enamel, charcoal. "I was working on 'the Tree of Blood' that September 2001. It was the beginning of a group of works that were 'Tree' oriented triggered in part by my interest in Bonsai, Newaki and trees as entities in general. When the Trade Center was destroyed my tree colors turned to blood, red, white, and blue appeared and the churning and turbulence combined with my shock. For the first and only time I actually wrote something in the painting: 'Tree of Blood,' which harped upon my reaction then and now. I think about the work a little the way I think about Goya's 'the Third of May,' the image and the history are of horror, yet the formal power of the painting lives on today. Goya's painting in spirit is part of 'Tree of Blood' and more importantly, part of the 9/11 murders."
