#474 Les Adieux

 

Great Gatsbys! A Renoir on
the grass, alas. & too much
incorporated in the painting
to contain it all. Things escape,
many of those the appurtances
of a dandy — wine glass, rose to
carry in the teeth, some etchings
to come up & look at sometime.

Some things held on to — hat to
keep the sun out, or keep the tan
from overflowing, & gloves to
stroke the mustache with. &,
OMG, brogues that exactly
match the color of the frame.

#473 Le regard intérieur

 

Exotic birds perch on the veins 
of a leaf. Such beauty in them,
but they are so small — or maybe
the leaf is large, larger than the
trees below the window. The
birds do not appear to be hungry.
The leaf is intact. & there seems
to be plenty of water to go round. 
A fairly full glass balances on the
ledge. & should the glass fall 
there is still that river nearby, 
within flying distance, even if 
the outside is outside their view.

#472 Le Prisonnier

It's probably something I
learnt from — copied from? —
Magritte, the giving of titles
that bear no relation to the
item in question, whether it
be poem or painting. Here 
he lines up abstract shapes, 
inserts a table — not of con-
tents but rather something 
you'd find in a hallway — & 
parks them in front of a barely-
discernable background that
would later be developed
across the years into what
would come to be described 
as a typical Magritte land-
scape, then titles the painting
with a name that apparently
has no resemblance to what is
going on within its confines. 
Ernst describes it as a collage 
painted by hand. I'd agree: 
but also see in it a statement 
of future intent — never be im-
prisoned by the fear of change.

#471 La Bonne Foi

 

So many decisions to be
made! Do I face toward 
the front or do I turn my 
back? & if the front, do I 
present myself in good 
faith or do I do a bit of 

tweaking? No, not the 
Miley Cyrus type of tweak, 
I'm thinking Photoshop
here. & which bowler hat
do I wear? Which of my
ties? Do I have sea- or 

landscape behind me, 
clouds or clear sky? & 
then the hard part. A 
bird or an apple before 
my face? After all, this 
is not a self-portrait.

#469 The Lost Jockey (1947-1948)

 

He has been lost for so
long that the trees – once
trimmed & turned into
bilboquets — are now

growing branches again.
Lost for so long that the
painter's style has under-
gone several transform-

ations in the interim. This 
from a classical period; 
airy, pastel-toned. A scene
posed, as if disposed 

by a dramaturge, with 
the jockey center of 
the set, finally about 
to exit, stage left.

#468 The Virgin's Chariot

Elsewhere it is drawn by lions,
on solid ground, even if it is 
a rough track rather than a
road. Cherubs accompany her,
either to keep her amused or on
hand to push — while the lions
pull — the chariot should it 
happen to get stuck. Allegory
drawn large. The Virgin Mary 
on her way to heaven, assumed
body & soul, traveling first class 
on a triumphal vehicle. Much
the same thing here. The means 
of transport a shiny mirror, the
suitcase closed as befits a virgin.
Yet the perspective all wrong. If
the mirror's right, then the case
could only hold a single tube of 
lipstick. If the case is lifesize then a
reasonable entourage could balance 
on the mirror comfortably. So
what's the answer? Perhaps it
lies in those marks on the mirror.
Dare we suppose some lines of
coke were snorted here, & the
world now somewhat distorted.

#467 Le Sabbat

He refused to work
on the Sabbath, which
is why the lights are
all turned off — the moon
gives me enough light
to find my way around —

& the painting is left
upside down — I won't
work but that doesn't 
stop my mind from
turning over, so putting 
things in unusual places 
often helps as a sort of 
associative trigger when
the next day comes around — 

& for any person passing
by, an upturned apple is
still an apple — I stole
that idea from Gertrude
Stein who I later paid back
by painting rose after rose 
after rose — but no one

has decreed that magic
can't be done on this day — 
I deliberately put that half-
full glass of wine there so
that when it hangs upside-
down with no spillage, what
else can it be but magical?

#465 La Joconde (2)

 

The curtains open. The summer 
sky takes center stage. Thinks the
play's the thing: but there is no 
King. Apart from the slash of blue &
white there is little light, & the only
animate object in sight, a horse's bell, 
has lost its smile, lips quite tight, 
trapped inside a night of boredom.
