Edward Hopper Sketchbook
A wonderful insight into the mind and workings of Edward Hopper through his sketchbooks , illustrating and describing a process of creativity that evolved into his paintings that resonate so well with in there look and narrative and if you have not come across him yet i urge you to do so.
hope you enjoy this as much as me as i would love to delve through the pages and become intimate with the completed works
camomile artist
this voice of the river
pressed wavelets to the hull,
kisses gentle
as the heat of day waned,
there is an island
he took himself to
and revealed not to many,
his sister stretched her hand
to the surface,
his obsession that yellow obsession
of scrawled canvas
becoming painfully light
each coming and passing day,
his work confessional
to a degree that
his lips where bitten into scabs
and fingernails worn,
absinthe stained his teeth
and confounded the workings
of an already fractured mind,
he wanted to show
one person the accommodation
crooked walls hung with works
salons would faint at,
not his usual pastorals and portraits,
this was a diminished reality
with a lot of truth
his sarcasm would not yield
afraid of her reaction
progressed slowly
yesterday still had a grip,
he could not release
approaching jetty
tremors worked in his arms,
breathing quickened,
when the moon set
he would be revealed
and her pain would be no loss,
when the rains came
he would return alone
clouds would cover the moon
and deny reflection and illumination
there was a lot more to be done
John Singer Sargent – Autumn on The River 1889
dancer 95
violin bow cu through gelatin
as outstretched arm
folding it under her chin
tremor of strings felt in her loins
of love beyond passion
love beyond denial,
for this man much older
who watched damp eyed
each point and step
holding pose for sulfur flash
yet moonlight and day
better illuminated
caught in a dark place
yet so natural
she would ascend
imprinted and recognized
after camera covered away
she danced
knowing now also caught
on paper in charcoal
it may of been the end
but she reached to the future
moving expressively
beyond fantasy
Danseuse ajustant sa bretelle, 1895-96, Edgar Degas
Degas self portrait 1895
Ernest Chausson

Oskar Fischinger – An Optical Poem (1938) MGM
knives sweeter than arrows
flesh of silk and snow
naked as a fawn exposed to winter,
draft seeped through window
that cast a lemon block outside,
pages before her with ink that began
to merge,
precious silent thoughts
lifted to starry skies,
sorrow had not brought it’s shadow
her eyes strong enough to look into
the fire and show innocence,
telephone rang
the artist whose heart moved in spirals
waited with canvas and sable
and when snow retreats
and fireflies waken
she would stir to his caress,
till then entwined with knowledge
of youth and biology
lessons planned for each week
distraction long holding
avoidance to all things carnal
despite prick of skin
and clamor of heart,
she would wait as others too waited
and beneath soft auburn hair
decisions would be made
Jamie Wyeth Monhegan’s Schoolteacher
dissolute art
pop/
art
stars
images cranked over canvas,
celebrity flashbulbs
kreig light flame
against/
walls passionate configure
morals a now sewered creek,
tangent arcs
of eyes caught lust intensity,
brood/
expression of artist
alone watching,
wishing for moist stringy
damp exchange stream,
deliver/
with his palette knife
excise flesh and society,
knead out the fleshy dough
breasts that bare themselves
to him
for signature and kiss,
ice/
rivets many to the spot
they stand,
exclusive voyeurs to insanity
and flagrant erotic exchange,
an orgy beyond the point
of isolation and intimacy,
a swirl of texture
and color,
witnesses to the end
Intervention of the Image
in the museum of cognition,
phantom in copper bronze powder
adheres to canvas
framed on wood,
brush stroke palette knife,
density of a mind made hollow,
dry tongued
he whispered at the image,
walls listened and echoed
each separate word,
as an electronic synthetic being
experience and texture
of emotion differed,
a book the manual
coherent in fifteen languages,
how to distribute light and dark,
surface articulation
leaping thrust of sable,
birds uncommon sang outside
window
although they never disturbed,
once done,
this dimensional representation
would bring a new context
to rocky outcrops and defined
buildings of a new grown city
