an altogether other ...

For Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still can bear, and we admire it so because it serenely distains to destroy us.

---Rilke, "The First Dunio Elegy"

yy: his painting style (line, form or color) is relatatively similar to what modern computer graphic technology can do.

but in his painting, the creative spirit cannot be copied at all . . .

還說沒有:)

我所說的STYLE，是指spirit方麵的。。。就像人，都是鼻子嘴巴肉身，但是我們說一個人有STYLE，應該是指其不同的“風度”對嗎？瞧，中文中用“風度”，風，無形無影無蹤跡。。。居然沒有用“水度”:))))))

YY, 我想你明白我的意思了

not really :)

“Mageritte's style? not in those pics, i have not posted yet :)”

YY, 我想你明白我的意思了:)

我說的是有點兒STYLE的感覺沒有說真有其STYLE，人的情感是相通的，感覺總是能“沾親帶故”的:) "free imaginative power and the primative returning...."

直說吧，無人能有他人的STYLE，你有你自己的STYLE！！！

Mageritte's style? not in those pics, i have not posted yet :)

i love his challenging ordinary reality and breaking our habitual view about the world. in his painting, no past, o present, no future... time suspends or a moment eternal

[z.z.]

Miller did not strive for "magical realism"....

Like you, zf, I too use my feelings and imagination when I write ...

Like what you said ...

Being "philosophical" means one is thinking ...

~&~

我很喜愛米勒和他的畫，米勒對 the Greeks 也情有獨鍾。。。我也喜歡Chagall...

zz: "free imaginative power and the primative returning...."

As far
as my eyes can reach
the hands of dreams
are holding a silent
rose of words

我很喜歡這句文字裏潛影的images。。。我的想像和感覺裏，這裏的畫麵感覺很類似米勒這幅畫和Chagall某些畫裏的感覺，如“Fusion of lost/fragrance”的感覺...

個人感覺而已。。。

YY，你下麵的圖確有點兒 Mageritte's style的感覺。。。但你肯定又要笑我好哲思:)。。。其實不是，我是靠感覺直覺有時甚至是我的四肢加肚皮:)在感覺詩歌和藝術，說出來居然被認成“哲學思考”讓我感覺自己似乎被人拔高了似的:))。。。但我在 Mageritte的畫裏能感覺到他對“謎”與神秘的某種“清晰"與"細致”，我還不能很好地用我自己的語言表達我對他的畫的感受，但那是我所能感覺到的Mageritte的“神”。。。我理解他在創作時一定不會去感覺什麽是什麽而是憑借靈感的靜靜來臨，他耐心細致地描繪捕捉到的靈感與感受讓我歎服。。。所有讓我歎服的美的藝術，something eternal....

謝謝YY的美圖分享。。。

miller loved chagall....i remember reading his piece on chagall....about the free imaginative power and the primative returning....

[y.y.]

yes!!! this painting reminds me of Chagall's . . .the black lines and primitive colors, especially form-free

:)

"Rilke's words have the classical quality of Grief and Beauty....something eternal....like the Greeks...."

love what you said!!!

[作舟詩集]

his writerly watercolors are as inspiring as those masters'....for me, at least :)

Rilke's words have the classical quality of Grief and Beauty....something eternal....like the Greeks....

[y.y.]

so well-said!!! very thought-provoking . . .

really love this painting of Miller!!!
