Inspiring

We are by simply being, facing and loving, sharing our destiny, heroically meeting it, being curious
Oh the beauty of this wonder-ful world

C'est La Différance

... This is exactly the point I was getting at when I watched this one:

I guess Agnes Martin made the better choice anyway and from the looks of it never was that easily impressed by anything. Which her life and art probably bears witness to.

In Extremo

Sometimes I Wonder...

...if some things I do are rather done to provoke again a reaction I received when I was at school... When I was being too cheeky and provocative a very good friend twice fetched my feet, whirled me around, lay me upside down across his shoulder and spanked me quite deservedly :D. Not without asking my permision btw. Where are those times when one felt so alive...

Or even like this:

My Funny Cloud

from yesterday's post reminded me of a most wonderful experience. Once in a seminar, which was rather an informal meeting, after having delivered "To be or not to be" and having talked about Edmund Husserl and phenomenology a bit. Somebody pretty dear to me faced me and summed up my view as followed: "You must be living under the maxim or motto that if I were to get into my car right now to drive home, I could never be sure that I would reach my destination." My answer like his was a mutual deep smile, and later on reminiscent of this  I added in my mind : "Oh I'm sure that I will never ever get where I set out to go."

"......Be what it is, The Action of my life is like it, which I'll keep if but for sympathy."

Your faint smile is like a cloud of wonderful lightness hanging over me...

Just When I Found Myself Preoccupied With the Sound of Peace

and what it's got to do with bees and bumblebees, this hit me and blew my mind ;D! Sheer madness, great!

Thanks to Raimund: Mark Rothko dramatised and Nightwatching again

This morning Raimund treated me with the following excerpt from a dramatisation of Mark Rothko as broadcast on the BBC...



What really caught my eye was the fact that here Allan Corduner's Mark Rothko differs so much from the portrayal of Rembrandt as done by Martin Freeman. Whereas Martin Freeman portrayed a human being still alive and surely not a figure of art history, Mark Rothko appears to be almost absorbed by being already some historic person, i e he has taken one decision and laments the fact that there is apparently no way back for him. He is Mark Rothko and he has to face all these people, i e gallerists, critics etc, and even more serve all of them. Apparently he has to stick to this one road he has chosen till the, in his case bitter, end. Rembrandt, certainly thanks to the wonderful Martin Freeman's decision to portray him as someone real, in Nightwatching on the other hand is much more alive and actively takes decisions, even such that would get him into big trouble with all the people he like Rothko depends upon. Maybe just maybe this is also the really big difference between the actual Rembrandt and the actual Rothko...Maybe in today's world artists do get more thoroughly corrupted by the art business. Thanks Raimund
