Subject matter and context is still easily identifiable to the viewer. I usually prefer more subtle colours, but could live with these, as being symbolic.<br /><br />Yes, lots of great new stuff was unfolding in the first decade or so of the 20th century - until the intervention of World WarI.<br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-1558649711493687672013-02-08T14:05:43.549-06:002013-02-08T14:05:43.549-06:00Sonny ~~ The spammers have a field day here, but B...Sonny ~~ The spammers have a field day here, but Blogger nets most of them so that I can delete them in one fell swoop - several times a day.

H...Enjoyed your discourse on Franz Marc, Twilight. He sounds like a sweet guy!<br /><br />I lost track of a fellow that I knew years ago that had astrological similarities...Earth trines...he, too, had an unusual, uncanny regard for nature and particularly animals. He spoke their language!<br /><br />Marc's natal chart has interesting placements...certainly a sensitive, intuitive individual. Always sad to lose (from our perspective here on Earth) a talented, spiritual contributor to our species.<br /><br />That time period was unique for the avant garde and advancement of knowledge in many fields. The impressionists laid a foundation in the preceding decades, opening the abstract gates. At a time when landscape and portrait paintings were considered de rigueur, modern artists of that period suffered tremendous public criticism and humiliation. Thankfully, they clustered amongst themselves for support and carried-on, leaving a legacy. Most had no benefactors and died poor, only to have their works fetch astounding dollars decades after their deaths.mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-76451214878910315622013-02-08T09:22:33.780-06:002013-02-08T09:22:33.780-06:00hmm you sure are having a lot of drive by's la...hmm you sure are having a lot of drive by's lately Twilight:) all these anonymous comments must be annoying .<br /><br />anyway, all morning and some of yesterday too I have been reading at sites about life after death, so to see the portion of Franz writings you choose stunned me and made me smile.<br />seems like just one more proof positive that things are just as they should be and that if I seek, I will find..<br /><br />I looked around around on your blog and couldnt find a contact area- email I mean. so I'll just ask you to email me if your willing to.<br />thanks in advance and if you'd rather not- thats ok too.<br /><br />l55dreamlane@aol.comSonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-17869447859522127332013-02-08T09:21:44.489-06:002013-02-08T09:21:44.489-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.com
