You drew the line close to my heart
As my hemline broke
I winked as the wrinkle lines are deeper
And I want to memorize the line in your song
Lines that define
Lines that magnify
Imaginary lines
Emergency lines
I drew a line in the sand
And started jumping toward my shadow
Outlined in the sun
And then the ocean stole the line
Quotes from Chagall and Kandinsky
CHAGALL
"The psyche should go into the paint."
"In art, as in life, everything is possible if it is leased in love."
"Colour is the pulse of a work of art."
MARC CHAGALL (1887 – 1985) was a famous Russian artist, painter and print maker of lithographs; he created moreover several glass windows. His main motifs came from Jewish life (a.o. The Fiddler’) he experienced in his youth in Vitebsk, in Russia.
KANDINSKY
There is no form, there is nothing in the world which says nothing. Often – it is true – the message does not reach our soul, either because it has no meaning in and for itself, or – as is more likely – because it has not been conveyed to the right place… …Every serious work rings inwardly, like the calm and dignified words: ‘Here I am!’
* ”Concerning the spiritual in Art”, Wassily Kandinsky, Munich, 1911 (Russian painter, co-founder of ‘Blaue Reiter’ and famous for his book ‘Spiritual in art’, his series ‘Improvisations’ and Murnau landscapes)
