MIKHAIL VRUBEL ~ NIGHT

in A Mysterious Encounter with the Moon by

“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.

GIORGIO DE CHIRICO ~ ON ART

in Passion Of Art by

“Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men.”

…TO ARTISTA… ~ POEM BY BERT PAZA

in My Artist Friends ~ and their creations... by

..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

in My own creations/Poetry of Art by

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?

in Life? or Theater? by

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”.

While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality… true art lies in a reality that is felt.”
