I recently went to an
exhibition of paintings by a local painter.
I wish I could show you
some of them here.
Let me attempt a short
description of one of them, which gives you an idea of what all the
rest were like:
A white canvass, in the
middle thereof an irregular black square, several dabs of reddish
brush strokes in the center of the black square.
Simply something which
just about anyone could have produced by splashing a little paint
around.
On the elaborately
produced invitation was, beside the time and place, the text, here
translated into English-
“The Artist
Painter sees and feels colors as the messengers of spiritual
dimensions, which imbues his work with a deeply lyrical and spiritual
mood, permeated by a sensitive silence.
His openhearted
reflections are founded on a sensitive spot light and minimalist
transitions of nuances in an ascetic fullness of various shadings of
white.
He uses a Collage
Technique in which he applies many thin, semi translucent layers,
covering the entire spectrum of feelings, inclusive those of a
meditative and erotic nature.”
The people visiting this “Vernissage” stood, with an
awe-struck look upon their faces, discussing the merits of these
works with earnest expressions.
I just stand there, feeling that I should exclaim in a
loud voice:
But the Emperor is naked.
