FREDERICK CARL FRIESEKE ~ ON THE VALUE OF ART

Frieseke
“Now you can begin to see quite transparently that nothing purchased life is one of argument, If other people don't agree with you you're in big trouble. How far would you get in your work if nobody agreed that what you were doing had value?”

Frederick Carl Frieseke

American Impressionist Painter, 1874-1939

MOORE ~ ON PAINTINGS

Mooreblog
"The many great paintings of the world, all make the point as clear as possible:

The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art. If you don't want the pleasure of art, you are not human; and if you are not human,

you don't have a soul."


Moore on paintings

THE LONELINESS OF A DROWNING SOUL ~ MONIQUE LUCY WEBERINK

Help me, please, I am sinking

Sinking deeper in some sort of colorless Mud

You are not reaching out for my Hand

And although it is close, I can not grab it

 

When you sensed me, you even moved your hand away

I desperately tried to reach out further

So many faces surrounding me

They keep coming closer and like a dense fog

 

I am drowning while the fog takes my vision

Its getting colder and I start to shiver

I try to reach for the ground below me

But my feet are without weight sensing the abyss below

 

The faces look upon me in pity

They are speaking, but in weird voices

Are they talking to or about me

The sounds feel like words of mercy without love

 

There is only one voice I desperately long for

But this one I do not hear

Whispering, my love, do not worry, I am here.

Now it becomes clear you were never there

 

I am sinking deeper and deeper

There is no hope left

Was your love ever real?

Panic feeds a darkness at the heart of my Soul

 

I cant see anything anymore, not even the shapes

Your hand is gone and there is nothing else to grab on to

I surrender and fall into the depth

All alone my soul is drowning

LEDA

Come not with kisses

not with caresses

of hands and lips and murmurings;

come with a hiss of wings

and sea-touch tip of a beak

antr treading of wet, webbed, wave-working feet

into the marsh-soft belly.

 

DH. LAWRENCE (1885-1930)

"Fairies"

Federica Nightingale (b. 1964) is an Italian collagist and poet.

What I love most about her works is the magic of it! As if she has transfered her poetry into images.
