The spirit of an age reflects itself in thought, art, literature.
Reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein many pictures of the same period came vividly in my mind: I have thus decided to find the ones that best fitted the different events described in the book.

I found Meredith a rather overwhelming person,
at least to me- a diffident youth.
A brilliant and fantastic talker-
one needed to be more his age;
more his intellectual match
to parry his verbal swordplay
and to comprehend his whimsical soliloquies.
He received me with the sympathy of a father-
soon put me at my ease.
His talk was like his books;
elaborately fanciful, knotted with thought,
a thicket of thorn bushes
hung with sudden starry blossoms.
One had to snatch what one could.
I was magnetised by the rush and verve
of his resonant voice, and dominated
by his lordly manner.
It seemed to me, slightly theatrical,
almost affected bravura.
Ulysses must have been such a man,
tall, lean and a rugged fighter.
With that far off crafty look
he seemed to me characteristically Welsh;
Roughly bearded, high browed,
keen grey eyes, slightly upturned fighting nose.
An immense intellectual alertness pervaded
his vigorous frame and was
his most characteristic expression.
His portrait,
known to everyone that reads,
by Hollyer is himself,
exactly.
(Source of found poem- The Romantic 90s by Richard Le Gallienne)

Tres emouvant!!
Depuis Tom Odell nous peinions à trouver une voix et une mélodie aussi enivrante, la voici, Lucy Rose, multi-instrumentiste qui a commencé à composer accompagnée d’un groupe dont les musiciens ne sont autres que Björn Agren, ancien guitariste de Razorlight, Joe Steer, ancien bassiste de Broadcast 2000 et Sam Nadel à la batterie. Le côté folk et enivrant vont vous séduire, une seule date et adresse à retenir celle du 9 mais 2019 au café de la danse.
Beatrice is a female given name which comes from Latin Beatrix based on Viatrixmeaning “female traveler/voyager” though the spelling was later altered to resemble beatus, which comes from Latin meaning “happy, fortunate, blessed” derived from PIE root word *dew- (to show favor, revere). Beatrice is one of the main characters in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing (1598-1599).

Augusta is the feminine form of Augustus, which was originally used as a name and title for the first Roman Emperor, Gaius Octavius, and which eventually passed on as a title to other Roman emperors. It means “majestic, venerable, great” from Latin augere (to increase, augment) which derives from a PIE root word.

One of our department’s significant responsibilities is modern donated collections. Our blog has chiefly focused on such collections in European languages, but this post looks at one largely in English – the collection of Professor Sir Alan Bowness, former Director of the Tate. Recent arrivals in the Bowness collection include items from the library of Dame Barbara Hepworth. These came to us with the aid of Sophie Bowness, the art historian and maternal granddaughter of Dame Barbara.

Langsam füllt sich die Vorführung Pastell Mischtechnik bei boesner Hannover, Susanne Haun (c) Foto von M.Fanke
Letzten Freitag habe ich bei boesner in Hannover die zahlreichen Möglichkeiten von Softpastellen in Kombination mit anderen Materialien vorgestellt.
Für Präsentationen steht bei boesner on Hannover ein kleines “Theater” zur Verfügung. Die Bühne ist liebevoll wie ein Atelier eingerichtet und es wird eine schöne Atmosphäre geschaffen. Um die 50 Besucher*innen haben den Weg zum boesner gefunden. Herzlichen Dank für das Interesse!
Den Selficorner habe ich mit wahrer Freude in Anspruch genommen. 🙂
Am 14.9.2019 werde ich neuerlich in Hannover sein und mit Tusche zeichnen und kolorieren. Genaueres wird später auf meiner Seite Workshops (siehe hier) hier auf dem Blog bekannt gegeben.
Micha hat auch kleine Filme während der Aufführung aufgenommen. Einen zeige ich euch hier:
