what importance does this sculpture have to you?
anton, saw some of his work recently and was immediately struck by this work and his drawings. The dougal thought: Alice, and I thought medieval.
Died at the age of 23 in the trenches. since I had just picked up a new biography of Keats I was curious and curiouser about this flaring up of talent at an early age. I think Huxley had an essay on this but I can't for the life of remember where.
Do you know his work?
oh yes, nearly forgot:
hello!
b.
hello:)
you speak in riddles to me. who made this sculpture? keats? both alice and medieval fits. it's interesting but am not sure what to make of it.
Sorry, it was Henri Gaudier Brzeska (hg-b)
Like Keats, he died at a very young age. Was just thinking of something the opposite of 'late style' for both.
yes. i like these.
late style. it's interesting. my favourite example for late style is braque whose late images i like a lot, these simple landscapes, but for some people it was just a decay of his former capacities. but then in some people it's very clear very young and they don't change much and in others it's clear very young too and they change a lot and some only get to bloom when older... hard to say. what where your thoughts on the opposite to late style?
(i am away for a few weeks, travelling - take care)
Have a good holiday, anton. Hmm..don't know. Will have to think about your question. Don't know if i can add anything to your: to some "it's very clear young". That seems to encapsulate it, the freshness of it, to see something that is 'all there' , completed (as if one was already dead and could look back on one's life), and yet also in time, unfolding.
I think Berger writes that a late style is like returning, not to complete but to keep things open.
