Hier, en furetant sur le Net ( à la suggestion de quelques amis de la liste de discussion Vorbe_Palavre), j’ai eu la mauvaise curiosité de voire qu’elle était mon âge réel et combien j’ai encore à vivre… (Ok, je sais qu’il a rien de certain dans tout ça, que ce n’est qu’une approximation assez grossière…que tu peu rendre âme bien plus tôt…)
D’après le calculateur d’âge “réel” de poodwadle.com j’en ai 61,1 ans et j’ai encore à vivre jusqu’au 65,9 ans… Pas beaucoup, eh? civilement, je n’ai que 51… mais il y a dans la vie de choses qui t’usent vite, très vite… le diabète en est un…
Tu commence a te demander qu’est-ce que tu as fait de ta vie, qu’est-ce-qu’il te reste encore à faire… Pour le moment, je n’ai pas beaucoup de réponses… Seulement un autoportrait de l’année dernier, le dernier à date, qui confirme les 61 années de poodwadle (aucune idée qu’est-ce que ce mot peut signifier)…

Thank you for all your comments. However, it was not necessary to translate those quotes for me, because, as you can see below, at that site I can get everything translated into more languages than anybody would ever have heard of.

Presently I’ll have to write to you about the advantage of WordPress over Blogger as seen from a strictly marketing point of view.
C’est à dire: your portraits should be on WordPress
el statea in fata televizorului
privind in oglinda
ochiul
din care taia zilnic o felie de soare
pe care o musca cu voluptatatea
cu care pictorii amesteca culorile
intr-un ritual pe care
il vom numi
preludiu
mai tarziu,
mult mai tarziu
atat de tarziu incat nu-si va mai aminti ceasul
el va adormi
acoperit de panze
care-l vor purta ca o corabie
spre marea simeza
unde cele 7 culori
stralucesc la rostirea cuvantului
Iubire
Ghici cien vine la cina si imbraca-te in haine de gala pentru ca, “mosafirul” iti aduce in dar poezii:)

For cantueso: I wouldn’t have thought Romanian are so accesible on the net… and I am really curious and very interested to hear why WordPress is better than blogger… Interesting blog, by the way…
————-
Pentru Carmen: multzumesc din inima “mosafirului” pentru poem – e mai mult decât merit (indiferent cine e “el” din poem…) ; haine de gala n-am, doar mai multe perechi de blugi curate si o haina cu maneci prea lungi… sper ca “mosafirul” e bine sanatos si totzi ai lui idem…
draga el,
de data acesta el, sunteti chiar voi. chiar daca un pic cam lejer imbracat, totusi, suficient de pe gustul meu ca sa va dedic o poezie. Nici eu nu am haine de gala, pentru ca asa cum inghetata e cea mai buna prajitura si jeansi-i sunt cea mai potrivita tinuta de zi/seara/business, etc, etc.
mai vb si poate iti mai sciu commuri in versuri:)
c.
Ei, daca io-s el cu atât mai bine, desi e un el ostenit, trist si cu totul stors de energie (fara nici un motiv aparent, altul decat diabetul cel afurisit…) Nu mai pomeni de inghetata ca iarasi ma destrabalez alimentar…
bucuros sa receptez poemele tale desi nu-s un public prea bun de poezie…
PS. ti-am spus ca mi-am mai facut un blog (acum am si io 3, ca o poeta pe care-o cunosc…)
vezi la : http://ivdanu.wordpress.com/
Vezi ca “poieta” aia are chiar 5 bloguri:))), dar nu si timp sa scrie. Oricum, ti-a furat pictura si ti-a pus-o cu dedicatie in Salonul Refuzatilor.
Yesterday I went to see some of the blogs where people of the “Daily Painter” web (the one you said rejected you) sell their ware. Have you had a look at their blogs? I saw about 5, and only one was different. The others had all exactly the same format.
In other words, since I still do not know how they work, I have been wondering whether they are also a blog hosting or blog design business. I do not think so, and yet there is simply a catch that eludes me.
Anyway, none of your blogs look anywhere like those I saw. There was a standard format: on the right the shameful babble de toujours: “for me art is a passion, I took lessons six months ago and ever since I have been painting all the apples and things that go into a stillife. ”
On the left a little picture and beneath it its measurements plus title plus price.
It is not good company for anybody. Very bad company.
They don’t deserve all the attention we are given them… I’ve already consumed too much time and energy with them.
But, A, one thing is for sure: there are A LOT of “artists” in US (and in Canada also). And real artists, good, original artists are very few… and it’s darn difficult to decide which one are the good ones, the original ones… If “original” means the stuff they gave 25000 $ for at the RBC contest…
Not even original in the least, in fact. Malevitch and Mondrian and Rothko (him, in an interesting way…) did squeezed out every single valid drop from the minimalistical, geometrical sheait (scottish pronunciation…)… So, where is the “originalisty”of that ? (just some curator and critics still in the Pollock time…)
I see I am at the wrong place. I did not remember this blog. I do not yet know who Rothko and Malevitch are. Do you know Miró? That is the only name in the abstract crowd that I really like, but then you see how I simply don’t know. Also, his looks less like a program, more like fun. It was a happy idea. I saw some “figurative” of his, and he was not so lucky with that.
The “abstract crowd” is quite interesting, sometimes, but I assume, for other artists…very specialized… Rothko is an abstract artist who worked in the middle of the XX century and suicide in the sixties, I think… Very “minimalist” but nice work… Malevitch was a Russian and then Soviet artist known for his “constructivism” – sort of more abstract cubism… Even during WW1 he painted some black rectangle on a white one… pretty avandgarde stuff – but, for me, aride and dry… Miro, of course, I know a bit its work. Not even considered abstract himself (and it isn’t – always something “figurative” in his most “abstract” works… close more to surrealist… a lot o humour also… Very interesting artist.
I looked up malevitch and rothko in Google. The paintings seems to me to be either nuts or simply insulting. Says nothing, means nothing, and expects to be studied or what.
That’s about the thing! But Rothko you can relate, eventually, if you consider the colors like pure irational things, just like the sons in music… Eventually… A lot of the “abstract” artists killed themselves and I don’t think it’s without connexion to the very frustrating “abstract” art… I can start something as abstract but finally it gives ALWAYS something figurative… A lot of snobs and crooks in the field…
I don’t know why I always get lost on this blog of yours. It is a maze. Anyway, I have been looking up some names and I think that of all the very abstract people I only like Rothko. The other pictures look like plates full of leftovers. Rothko is just a big quiet sheet of colour or two colours and maybe a third colour hiding behind one of the two. It is kind of simple. Simplicity itself, I dare say. To beat that you’d have to try and sell an empty paper, signed on the back. But first you’d have to find a name for your new movement.
Rothko, if I remember well, was a bit influenced by the extrem oriental art and ideas (zen buddhism) and yes, I also like some of his paintings. Some of my prefered colors are also his: orange-red, for instance. I still think it would be a very interesting study the corelation between abstract artists and suicide…Forcing yourself to be abstract – mainly because that’s what your art merchant wants from you – could be extremely frustrating… and there are a few who did it… Rothko, Nicholas de Stael… But for that you have to have the time to do it (not to HAVE to earn a living), the possibility to travel and research in the big Museums and libraries… Talk to people who knew them (if still the case)…
