Wassily Kandinsky, Angel of the Last Judgement (1911, Lenbachhaus, Munich)

-

Porque hoje à noite sonhei que estava a dar um abraço ao meu tio, decidi relembrar um poema dele:

Apocalipse

A lua era azul

o sol avermelhado.

Quatro cavaleiros

volteavam no ar

sobre um cavalo alado.

Tinham as faces e as mãos brilhantes,

as roupas cintilantes

e o olhar cansado.

Foram-se no ar

deixando um longo rasto.

A lua era prateada

e o sol já se perdera.

Um anjo apareceu

onde o sol se pusera.

O julgamento tinha começado.

«Time, unfortunately, though it makes animals and vegetables bloom and fade with amazing punctuality, has no such simple effect upon the mind of man. The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second.»

There's east and there's west and there's everywhere live

I know I was born and I know that I'll die

The in between is mine

I am mine»

«Art is the magic mirror you make to reflect your invisible dreams in visible pictures. You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul. But we who are older use neither glass mirrors nor works of art. We have a direct sense of life. When you gain that you will put aside your mirrors and statues, your toys and your dolls.»

Linha recta

Wassily Kandinsky, Crossing (1928, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris)

-
Uma linha recta
convicta e correta
é um grito de linha
que chega
ao infinito
é a única estrada
que não vai dar a nada !

Um segmento de recta
pode parar na esquina
subir uma parede
beijar uma menina
– mas uma linha recta
não tem limites ou meta.

Por sobre longos campos
e o vale em flor e o mar,
desenhado pelo vento
lá vai ela a passar …

Um segmento de recta
pode ter alegria
pode subir às árvores
e num raio de luz
descer até ao chão
anunciando o dia !

«[Orange] is one of God's favorite colors--- He stuck it right there between red and yellow as the second color in the rainbow. He decorates entire forests with shades of orange every autumn. It shows up in sunrises at the start of the day, sunsets at the end of the day, and in the glow of the moon at the right time of night.»
