LITERATURE and ART

TOP: 

Handmade Ezra Pound (Ezruckus Poundamonium) paper doll for a series of skits in which E.P is the main star. --Theresa Williams

 

MIDDLE:

Automatic writing by Nancy Bell Scott.

 

BOTTOM:

One of a set of cards made while contemplating the poet Theodore Roethke.  On November 12, Roethke suffered the first of what was to be many mental episodes.  It happened in the cold Michigan woods, and he described the experience as having a "secret" revealed to him, which he said was the secret of "Nijinsky."  Nijinsky was a famous ballet dancer who was institutionalized for schizophrenia.  With your permission, I'd like to post your artwork at my blog:  The Letter Project.   I'm also looking for letters about literature and creativity.  All works from the blog have gone through the postal system.

Haha Theresa you are an avatar of Barbra Streisand, oh FUNNY girl!

 

Working on Lumumba and Claus made me jump 2day to Toni Morrison.

Made collage called HOME. Her latest novel is called HOME. I hesitated buying it. Another book on how bad the black people were treated by the American albinos!? I know this stuff 2 much but when I opened the novel and I read the opening poem WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS? I said to myself OH GOD OF SURREALISM this is pure Magritte, this is pure magic!! So I used one of Magritte’s paintings as starting point of the collage: the house in the shadows of the dark illuminated only with a few sparkles of light while the sky is clear, full of light and clouds. Fantastic painting, one of my favorite Magritte’s, I can see it very time I want in the Museum of Ixelles, Brussels 1050!
I wonder if Toni knows this painting? Not that this is important. The key in Toni’s poem is transformed in this collage into a string instrument in stone, Magritte would certainly have approved this transformation. He did similar magic!(GV)

Collage

DEAR LUMUMBA, WHERE ARE YOUR TEETH?

THE GOD OF ALBINOS SITS ON YOUR CORPSE AS ON A PUBLIC TOILET (Hugo Claus).
