Pasarea maiastra: the enchanted bird

November 2, 2008 · 2 Comments

Brancusi did a few sculptures – quite a few, in fact! – with birds and some with Pasari maiestre (in Romanian that means an enchanted, bewitched – or bewitching? – bird; a special, fantastic bird, anyhow…)

Here is a study for one I’ve recently finished… I am not totally happy about it but there are some things I like…

It’s an acrylic on board painting. It goes well with the fantascapes. In fact, it goes well with my bizarro-baroque stuff where you can find – I really don”t know why? – a lot of claws and beaks and, especially, a lot of eyes… That’s the way things are… to cite Kurt Vonnegut jr…

    Mult rafinament în tabloul ăsta…
    Mie îmi amintește picturile orientale pe mătase, basmele cu detalii surprinzătoare, culorile misterioase și atmosfera graniță-între-lumi :)

    Iar ”învolburarea Van Gogh” leagă elementele, dă coerență micilor amănunte care par de…negândit :)
