“Enormous enlargements of
an object or a fragment
give it a personality
it never had before, "
Fernand Léger
“A painting requires
a little mystery, some
vagueness, some fantasy.
When you always make
your meaning perfectly plain
you end up boring people.”
Edgar Degas
“The job of the artist
is always to
deepen the mystery.”
Francis Bacon

Fondly, cloudia
I do love a bit of mystery.
ReplyDeleteLove the mystery of why that bird looks so frumpy today.
ReplyDeleteThe pose of the egret goes well with the Degas quote: the egret is like one of Degas's ballerinas. Magnificent!
ReplyDeleteInteresting quote about artists, the deepening of the mystery. I'm kind of in agreement
