Κάθομαι και ρεμβάζω. Επιθυμίες κι αισθήσεις
εκόμισα εις την Τέχνην — κάτι μισοϊδωμένα,
πρόσωπα ή γραμμές· ερώτων ατελών
Ξέρει να σχηματίσει Μορφήν της Καλλονής·
σχεδόν ανεπαισθήτως τον βίον συμπληρούσα,
συνδυάζουσα εντυπώσεις, συνδυάζουσα τες μέρες.
Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης
Adolphe-William Bouguereau
1825 – 1905
La Rochelle, France
And now about the caldron sing, Like elves and
fairies in a ring, Enchanting all that you put in.
--Shakespeare
Still life, forms and images painted
on a canvass raises in the mind
of the beholder
great conceptions
it strengthens consciousness
advances praise into rapture
for the single reason that we understand
their true worth as creations
by ready mortal hands
who worked in obedience to their minds
as if transported with some fit of passion
for every stroke of the brush...

Paintings speak to
every memory...
