Yet stained as one is, one staggers on, after one's fashion.<br /><br />I did select the two Gauguins as bookends here. Glad to hear equal credit now given to the dark-clad women in the hospital garden.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-40690818706206091372013-03-10T16:10:56.771-07:002013-03-10T16:10:56.771-07:00Stephen's right - a beauty.

(It is extraordinary that anyone could put so much mystery into so much brightness.)<br /> <br />-- Stéphane Mallarmé, after seeing an exhibition of Gauguin's work in November 1893. <br /><br />Ta Matete, a work of great brightness and primal mystery, is a compelling example of the synthetic style Gauguin arrived at after much contemplation of the arts of the East, not only of Java but of ancient Egypt. He considered Egypt the birthplace of Western civilization. In his writings (L'esprit moderne et le Catholicism and Diverse choses) he conflates the<br />god Amon with Buddha, Christ, and the Tahitian Taaroa. <br /><br />In this case his acknowledged source is <a href="http://www.osirisnet.net/tombes/nobles/nebamon_ipouky181/nebamon_ipouky_mur_so_survol_02.htm" rel="nofollow">the Banqueting Scene from the tomb of Neb Amon</a>.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-83831075938160342032013-03-09T06:47:37.186-08:002013-03-09T06:47:37.186-08:00Tom,
