Paintings that Mean too Much to Me
or, don't learn about life from art; or, here be monsters; or, the clockmaker died a long time ago and we can never be who we were again
I would say something about all these pieces but I really don’t have the language to describe what I feel when I look at them. Maybe someone else does.
I know nothing about paintings. I don’t even like many of them. But I feel certain ones very strongly.
Great to see Blake here!
All stunning. A few I have seen live. Also paintings that launch other things like A Dance to the Music of Time (Nicolas Pousin) which was the impetus for Anthony Powell's 12 volume novel.
