March 31st 2019A Story by anandboseIt's a journalMorn was a
sweet lullaby of colors"the sky became an art of painting"petals danced in the
sky singing Beethoven’s Sonata. I thank God for this beautiful morn and I feel
so wonderfully blessed. I was
reading into the Gospel of Mathew and I was able to finish reading. The Crucifixion
made me said. He came to his own and his own did not recognize him. I quote
Christ’s words: ELOI ELOI LAMA SABCHITNAI: why Oh God have you forsaken me? For many
years I have lived like the Prodigal Son and I returned back to the father and
he has embraced me with joy. I am
recollecting my days when I lived in a Catholic asylum. I was into heavy
boozing. Then I got drunk at the airport and I got arrested by the Police. They
pulled my finger so hard that the steel implant in it displaced. I was in great
pain. Next morning they released me and I called up my wife and she took me
hospital and I had no clue as to what was happening. I was given an injection
and I passed out. It is only when morning came, I realized that I was in an
asylum. The male nurses there were brutal and used to beat me and used foul
language. Catholics are cruel b******s. Narratives
about Art I would like
to analyze Dali’s painting: The Persistence of Memory. In it clocks are melting
and are placed on embryos. Surrealism is an art that mingles fantasy with
reality. The embryo is symbolic of Oedipal Narcissism. The melting clocks are
symbolic are symbols of consciousness. They are also the symbolic of individuals
who want to live cozily and comfortably. Next I would
like to take Gauguin’s Painting watching the dead. The girl is sexually fecund
and the ghost is symbolic of sexual seduction. There’s a
painting of Delvaux called the Call of the Night. Dried up leaves are Symbolic of
sexual bareness. There’s a woman who’s face and head are covered. Then there’s
a woman standing outside a cave. This could possibly represent sexual
initiation. Next I would
like to introduce Picasso’s paintings the Guernica and the W****s of Avignon.
The w****s of Avignon reveal that Picasso is a child of oedipal narcissism. The
violent distortion of the bodies may be a representation of male chauvinism. Do you notice that Guernica is laden with
animal figures bearing incongruous faces and this possibly shows the violence
of the terror that was used. Next I would
like to show Rodin’s Thinker a celebrated piece of sculpture. Rodin’s
sculpture: The Thinker is a symbol of aggressive masculinity. The Thinker is viciously analytical. Notice
how the body is stiff. Next I would
like interpret Van Gogh’s painting the Sower. The sower has its origins in the
New Testament. The bright smudges of colors are reminiscent of mind that wants
to paint the unconventional. © 2019 anandbose |
