It's always good to read your words and see your images here, whenever you can. I loved what you wrote about Rothko - still have never seen a big exhibition of his work. And I love the final image here, those two statues.

Certainly, if nothing else, these paintings are profound mediations on suffering and death. They do need time... A quick glance, at the usual museum walk-through pace, yields nothing. Good luck with the translation project. I'd be interested to know more about it.Peter Clothierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525159413387378704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-6191081199125103442009-01-31T23:20:00.000+00:002009-01-31T23:20:00.000+00:00You are a wonderful writer, I fall into your words...You are a wonderful writer, I fall into your words.

I somehow remembered your <A HREF="http://tastingrhubarb.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html" REL="nofollow">recommendation regarding JM Cotzee's "Diary of a Bad Year"</A> and purchased it, trusting your taste. I finished reading the book a few days ago. I really enjoyed it, especially the playing with perspectives and the way it mingles philosphical discourse with life excerpts. A great "little" book. So thanks for that blog entry of yours!
