Morandi




..............links to Joanna Paul's 'Imogen' (to her own style and subtlety of work)......
.............................




and thus I am linked by memory and association to my friend Leicester Kyle who dedicated his Poetry Book "Anzac Liturgies" to me......... and who knew her and her husband of those times, and who typed up the drafts of 'Imogen'





.........also there is a link to the work and life of Jeffrey Harris how illustrated a book by Leiecter - and whose work is fascinating and which I am "studyng" via a library book written by the excellent art writer Justin Paton



There is a link also to Alan Loney - major NZ printer, publisher and poet - he made her book.




MORANDI





Morandi painted still lifes over and over, keeping his work powerfully restrained into (sometimes disturbing or near surreal) nuance or even nuages, shapes and forms, stillness but deceptively, movement: "minimalist" or restrained
but exquisitely created -there is a near transcendent glow and subtlety of shaping and form and colour in his still lifes, and in his landscapes - one of Italy's greatest artists - I discovered him only because Joanna Paul - another deep poet of forms and shapes - wrote, in 'Imogen'



blessings on Morandi who made a shape to part the space..........


....
space edges densely the
space edges densely the hourglass of white





I will scan the rest when I edit this process






This is revelatory to me.


...............[n.b. I have - for now - abandoned structure per se in EYELIGHT....]
