An-mut - Grace

Mut = courage




Odd that these courageous words keep falling down on me at the moment, first Sanft-mut/ gentleness, now the long missed Anmut, which is mentioned by Roberto Calasso regarding Tiepolo's art. Furthermore odd that Giambattista Tiepolo, whom I count among the important painters ever since I first saw one of is paintings, is apparently commonly regarded as a mere vain aesthete. I believe to everybody truly interested in painting, this is a grave mistake.
