what a nice gallery of banners! and altho the supply is proving to be ultimately infinate
it sure is nice to see juan miro and maybe some of the surrealists other than daleeee hellooooodaleee this is jimbo dali
it's so bad to have you around all the time
actually he is a cultural icon there at the museo dali in st pete
i used to frequent it some before i met my wife
i remember a friday nite jazz concert with bogus pomp
i was sitting in the back an then i noticed all the folks turn into cool hipsters nodding their heads to th base beat
man
i saw a little girl mimicking them with an exAagerated nodding comic
an her mom was watching her an i started laughing loudly
an them several folks turned round who i knew
that lady artist who lives with her hubbie in gulfport
she does clay, and paints
magnigicent colored backyard dreamscapes
i had such an extended network for awhile
used t see th same ppeople spontaneously all over tampa bay
sometimes at quaker meeting, the most real place i've ever been
sometimes in th street at macdill air force base central command
once at ft benning school of the assassins with padre roy beaugois
was a riverboat commander in the delta
became a priest aware of th same and worse as an unknown war against rebellious peasants in latin america
i sulked to the front by th stage
twas no honey in th rock there
but quiet and dignified indigenous latinos
very strongly traumatized
by their facial grimacing
ththe realittyy of the pain evident
can not be faked 'xept by an actor

like that chilean who plunged into his surreal landscapes and one time, he never returned
ya can go over th edge and plunge into the abyss
t'aint th problem
indeed thhere'ssanctuary there
wayat the very bottommmmmmmm
ground zero of the ssoul
is where the spirit dwells
and when there's so much gravity th soul is mute and dumb down lo down beat

but if you're low cause of a broken spirit
and have no spirit in a rationally based faith
then i suggest ya thiink again
there have always been shamans
natural born ministers of th eternal celestial faith
from human beings wherever we have been since before homosapiens
and ever since the begging with us for sure
shamanic thanksgiving
holy spirit
our source of good
and the woman stands neath th apple tree, tropical style
and she hands adam an apple and says
this is good
while th snake watches, her pet
harmless
save what we project into it
certainly not evil and tempting
a warped sensibility
a joke played on us by our distant forbears
so we would know them and feel their urgent and real goodwill and presence from before the fall of men ten thoousand years ago
with the curse of the sword

Yeah, it's a gorgeous piece of artwork.

I love this "Carnival of Harliquin" banner by Joan Miro.

She was amazing!

Say Doreen
I think it is pronounced Juan
I was stunned too
I thought it was a woman too
I said to myself, Wow,

maybe women do have souls

Man I wish you would live that banner up for a few more days
please.

Just shows you why I got a D in Art History in college.

From Wikipedia

Joan Miró i Ferrà (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983; Catalan pronunciation: [ʑuˈan miˈɾo]) was a Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramist born in Barcelona.

Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

harlequin woman you are doreen
i'm glad you're a woman
and not a man
believe me ma'am
joan miro when i first saw that
i said wow just like juanita picasso an
lee krasner's unspoken light in awe
like the first burst of pollack's
indigenous archetypal drips
she flips my hambone brain
she do flip my noodle

I loooooooooooooooove this cezanne...I am reading a book almost as voluminous as war & peace about 20th century art criticism, and many of the essays place Cezanne as the soul artist to be the cause of cubism and other abstractions that gave us modernism and all it's other posts....

Post by **jimboloco** » June 12th, 2010, 8:10 pm

wow i'm allright afterall
i was so struck by this cezanne banner
with his so famous landscape

it fortells the liberation
of light and form into spirit

thanks ST!

I just love this banner
well, I love both the banner and the original image
the banner is as good as any of the recent impressionistic stuff that doreen has been using. It makes my eyes feel good just to look at it. Bravo to both artists.
