| Trompe-l'œil: El revers d'una pintura emmarcada (Cornelis_Norbertus_Gijsbrechts - 1668/72) RELATS CONJUNTS |
For quite some time, at least 36 minutes, the group had discussed what a viewer might expect if Gijsbrecht's frame were reversed.
"Anyway, I think a picture dies after a few years like the man who painted
it."
"Hear, hear, Duchamp!" Manzoni smiled. "Gijsbrecht by now is up here for about 350 years, but his "Bagsiden af et indrammet maleri" can still be admired at the National Gallery of Denmark.
"Papperlapapp", intoned Schönberg, "If it is art it is not for all and if it is for all it is no art."
Braque laughed. "Arnold, you know very well that art is meant to disturb."
"Quite, Georges", Picasso nodded, "moreover, art is the lie that enables us to realise the truth."
"Excuse me, Pablo, but that's shit!" stated Conte Meroni Manzoni di Chiosca e Poggiol.
"Didn't you say the same to your son regarding his artwork?" asked Petrus.
"Yes, but only to inspire him."
"That's right." Piero Manzoni smiled. "My father inspired me to fill 90 tin cans with 30 grams of my faeces originally to be valued according to their equivalent weight in gold, thus $37 each in 1961. In August 2016, at an art auction in Milan, one tin sold for €275,000."
"Oh god", sighed Pascal, "imagination – it is that deceitful part in man, that mistress of error and falsity."
"Chauvi!" hissed Nin. "Why mistress and not man of error and falsity?"
"You won't change him after 350 years, Anaïs." Nietzsche stroked his beloved grey horse. "Blaise will never be able to give birth to a dancing star. He has no chaos in his heart."
How I would have loved being in that room...
ReplyDeleteSame with me. ;-)
DeleteUna excel·lent conversa entre uns grans personatges que han omplert pàgines i pàgines de crítiques, unes bones i altres no tan bones... Però què és la crítica?, només una opinió, "un arribar o no arribar" d'allò que fa un artista. L'art, per a mi, és tot allò que surt de les entranyes amb tanta força, que ens deixa bocabadats i enamorats tota una vida... No tot ho és, ni tampoc de la mateixa manera per a tothom...
ReplyDeleteM'has deixada ben intrigada amb el darrer paràgraf. ;-)
Aplaudiments pel teu relat!!
Glad you enjoyed what took me a while to put together.
DeleteWhy would I not be surprised you enjoyed what Nietzsche said? ;-)
The original quote from 'Thus spake Zarathustra' reads: 'One must have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.'
Aferradetes, Paula.
Una interessant i inèdita conversa, la d'aquesta sala ! :)
ReplyDeleteBen trobat, salutacions !.
I would have liked to have been the fly on the wall, Artur. ;-)
DeleteThank you!
Sometimes I wish Blogger had a "like button" for when I'm a bit speechless about something but enjoy it so much.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's a com(pli)ment! Thank you so much, Mimi!
DeleteMolt interessant la conversa d'aquests personatges d'alt nivell.
ReplyDeleteM'ha agradat llegir l'explicació que li has fet a la Paula sobre les paraules exactes de Nietzsche. Són molt boniques i amb una gran veritat amagada.
Un aplaudiment pel teu relat, Sean!
Una abraçada.
Thank you for your kind words, Carme. Glad I did not bore you;-)
DeletePutting this conversation together, was fun. And yes, I do like this Nietzsche-quote very much.
Feel your hug reciprocated.
