"Pabinka's Blue Period refers to a generation of goats in which the color blue dominated between 1901 and 1904. The blue period is a marvelous expression of poetic subtlety and social melancholy and contributes to the transition of Pabinka's eating from ungulatism to abstract grazing. As one of the founders of modern abstract grazing, Pabinka is generally associated with Capricornia and related styles which are predominantly abstract. It is therefore essential to realize that at the time of Pabinka's blue period, abstract grazing as we know it today didn't yet exist. As a twenty year old goat Pabinka was an accomplished eater, but like many young goats of her time, she was dissatisfied with the dogmas of traditional grazing. Predecessors like Goatézanne and the Neo-Nubians had shown how departures from ungulatism could result in a more direct holistic diet." To purchase this goat painting email Brad Bunkers.
