Aristide Maillol
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena,
have within them
something eternal and something transitory.”
Charles Baudelaire

Karena, did not doubt the atelier would draw your artist' eye. pgt
DeleteI know of no better epitaph I would like...Beaudelaire succinctly states my hopes of LIFEs meaning. I am pondering...
ReplyDeleteI've admired Maillol's work and had this photograph of his studio for a while-waiting for the inspiration-and Baudelaire's words appeared. It seemed the perfect description of his paintings and his sculpture. pgt
DeleteHello Gaye,
ReplyDeleteA delicious combination of words, painting and photography. How true that beauty is at once both fleeting and yet permanent.
The portrait of the young woman combined with the branches of the tree just showing the first flush of leaves reflect this capricious month of April when a fledgling Spring emerges only to disappear without notice in a cold snap or storm. And, the peek into the artist's atelier is so tantalising....
Perfectly put- and here that cold snap is on its way as I write this. All is going green and warm, and in a moment it changes-as with beauty. thank you for visiting. pgt
