ART _ minimally sculpted

beautiful works by eva hesse (1936-1970)

self-portrait

call of death

the child's head on his mother's arms

i have long been captivated by the power

and beauty of the lithos, woodcuts and

paintings of käthe kollwitz.

she was born this day in 1867.

régóta rabja vagyok käthe kollwitz munkáinak.

elképesztő az erő és a szépség, amellyel megfogalmazta műveit...

1867-ben ezen a napon született.

linkek fent.

omg

this is a millais.

i would never have guessed.

okay, maybe the red hair...

why did he paint all that cheesy crap

if he could paint like this?

okay, i'm too harsh on him.

i love his ophelia and blind girl and isabella and stuff...

but i find this to be so much better.

it might be just me.

to be honest, i don't really like the pillars,

but look at the embroidery!

and the blue-yellow contrast.

and the orange and red.

no kidding, my heart really skipped a beat

when i spotted this.

okay i'll stop.

i'm only posting this to let you in on a plan i got.

i plan to transform the way i see things.

i'd like to tranform it by drawing everyday.

just a little, not much.

of course it has to be after life, not doodling.

ten minutes at the least.

(suppose if you can transform your body

by working out ten minutes a day, than maybe

you can transform your seeing

by drawing ten minutes.)

starting (ummm) today (ummm).

okay, let's say i'll make this

a 30 day challenge.

(i posted this little ted speech some time ago

that i really loved, so now i'll give it a shot.)

i'm a bit scared of course, because i'm not

very good at keeping promises,

but now that you got my word,

maybe i'll be more able to stick to this.

whaddaya think?

i'll keep you posted.

you're welcome to play along,

if you want to.

hugs,

agnes
