MIKHAIL VRUBEL ~ NIGHT
“Night” 1900 by Mikhail Vrubel (1856-1910)
Mikhail Vrubel was a versatile artist who excelled in painting, graphics, sculpture, as well as in monumental and applied arts. His name is routinely associated with Russian Symbolism and Art Nouveau and perhaps rightly so.
Mikhail Alexandrovich Vrubel was born in 1856 in the city of Omsk in Western Siberia to a family of a military lawyer. His mother died when he was not yet three years old and his father remarried four years later. Vrubel’s stepmother was a good pianist and helped develop Vrubel’s musical sensibilities. In his teen years, he became a fervent theater aficionado. Later in his life, he married a prominent opera singer and was on good terms with composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov. Many of his mature works were inspired by opera and music.

…TO ARTISTA… ~ POEM BY BERT PAZA
..to Artista….
.go and fly white Dove
go and fly up in the sky
take the gold ray from the sun
get the Celeste color from above
dive in ocean for deep blue and the wave
.some green and earth colors around
and put them all on your canvas
the miracle of your creation bring to us
the beauty of your soul and the prize
and let us adore you like the princess of Arts….

MOVING ON ~ POEM BY MONIQUE LUCY WEBERINK
An Angel of Death is near me
but I feel no Fear
Only a Sense of Relief
No Matter where I am going
As long as I am getting out of here
I’ve lost the Sense of Reality
Am I Dreaming or Awake
Is there any Difference,
It’s all just very Dark
My Soul is longing for Release
The Angel whispers the Time has come
And I do not feel any Fear
All this time I wondered what took you so long
All these years of suffering and Pain
This sad and meaningless Life I live
Was it an experimental Test
Or a harsh way to learn
Are there any last Words left to say
Maybe, maybe. No…just a Sigh
Please relieve me.

CHARLOTTE SALOMON ~ LIFE? OR THEATER?
Charlotte Salomon (April 16, 1917 – October 10, 1943) was a German-Jewish artist born in Berlin. She is primarily remembered as the creator of an autobiographical series of paintings Leben? oder Theater?: Ein Singspiel (Life? or Theatre?: A Singspiel ) consisting of 769 individual works painted between 1941 and 1943 in the south of France, while Salomon was in hiding from the Nazis. In October 1943 she was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she and her unborn child were “apparently gassed soon after her arrival at the camp”.
