I loved the Middle Eastern trappings and the colors and the tiny details of the yellow leather shoes and cowrie shells on the scabbard. The figure himself is so arresting though.

His treatment of detail-- nothing goes unnoticed-- his treatment of light with its unexplained shimmerings and gleamings-- and his treatment of jewelry and other adornments-- the armor here is *fantastic*.<br /><br />His treatment of cloth in all of its textures, weights and colors was also phenomenal.<br /><br />There's a <a href="http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/gerome/">slide show here</a> of the Getty's exhibition highlights that is worth seeing. And the work is worth seeing in person if you get the chance.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">During the attacks I feel a coward before the pain and suffering-- more of a coward than I ought to be, and it is perhaps this very moral cowardice which, whereas I had no desire to get better before, makes me eat like two now, work hard, limit my relations with the other patients for fear of a relapse-- altogether I am now trying to recover like a man who meant to commit suicide and, finding the water too cold, tries to regain the bank.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

You learn to know a country which is basically quite different from what it appears at first sight.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Often I said to myself that I preferred that there be nothing further, that this be the end. Ah, well-- it would seem that we are not the masters of this--of our existence-- it would seem that what matters is that one should learn to want to go on living, even when suffering, Oh, I feel so cowardly in this respect; even when my health has returned, I am still afraid.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />

When I think of the obsequial pomp of the reception and the lamentable congratulations on the on the part of the two families (still in a state of civilization), not to mention the fortuitous appearancesin those chemist's jars where the antediluvian civil and religious magistrates are kept-- goodness gracious-- musn't one pity the poor wretch who is obliged, after having provided himself with the necessary documents, to repair to a locality, where, with a ferocity unequalled by the cruelest cannibals, he is married alive at a slow fire of receptions and the aforesaid funereal pomp . . . .<br />
But at times it is not easy to take up living again, for there remain inner seizures of despair of a pretty large calibre.<br />
My God, those anxieties-- who can live in the modern world without catching his share of them? The best consolation, if not the best remedy, is to be found in deep friendships, even though they have the disadvantage of anchoring us more firmly to life than would seem desirable in the days of our great sufferings . . . .<br />

When this fades and becomes somewhat discoloured by wind and weather, it is an infinitely quiet, delicate tone that particularly brings out the flesh colour.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well, blue enough to react to all the colours in which hidden orage elements are to be found and discoloured enough not to jar . . .</div>SarahKelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11224325648978545957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-76344049925714457122010-04-04T22:21:00.002-04:002010-04-04T22:36:04.368-04:00letters from vincent VII<i>drenthe/september 1883</i><div><i>to brother theo</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>As I feel the need to speak out frankly, I cannot hide from you that I am overcome by a great feeling of anxiety, depression, a 'je ne sais quoi' of discouragement and despair more than<br />I can tell.

I am often terribly melancholy, irritable, hungering and thirsting, as it were, for sympathy; and when I do not get it, I try to act indifferently, speak sharply, and often even pour oil on the fire. I do not like to be in company, and often find it difficult to mingle with people, to speak with them. But do you know what the cause is-- if not of all, of a great deal of this? Simply nervousness; I am terribly sensitive, physically as well as morally . . . But you, or anyone who will take the trouble to think it over, will not condemn me, I hope, because of it, not find me unbearable. I try to fight it off, but that does not change my temperament; and even though this may be my bad side, confound it, I have a good side too, and can't they credit me with that also?</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It is true that I am often in the greatest misery, but still there is a calm pure harmony and music inside me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>august/september</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">Last Saturday night I attacked a thing I had been dreaming of for along time. It is a view of the flat green meadows, with haycocks. It is crossed by a cinder path running along a ditch. And on the horizon in the middle of the picture the sun is setting, fiery red.I cannot possibly draw the effect in such a hurry, but this is the composition.</div><div style="text-align: left;">But it was surely a question of colour and tone, the variety of the sky's colour scheme-- first a violet haze, with the red sun half covered by a dark purple cloud which had a brilliant fine red border; near the sun reflections of vermilion, but above it a streak of yellow, turning into green and then into blue, the so-called cerulean blue; and then here and there violet and grey clouds, catching reflections from the sun.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The ground was a kind of carpetlike texture of green, grey and brown, but variegated and full of vibration-- in this colourful soil the water in the ditch sparkles.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Then I have painted a huge mass of dune ground-- thickly painted and sticky.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I know for sure that I have an instinct for colour, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I feel such a creative power in myself that I know for sure that the time will arrive when, so to speak, I shall regularly make something good every day.</div><div style="text-align: left;">But very rarely a day passes that I do not make something, though it is not yet the real thing I want to make . . .</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>november</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is something unbearable for many a painter, or at least almost unbearable. One wants to be an honest man, one is that, one works as hard as a slave, but still one cannot make both ends meet; one must give up the work, there is no chance of carrying it out without spending more on it than one can get back, one gets a feeling of guilt, of shortcoming, of not keeping one's promises, one is not honest, which one would be if the work were paid for at its natural, reasonable price. One is afraid of making friends, one is afraid of moving; like one of the old lepers, one would like to call from afar to the people: Don't come too near me, for intercourse with me brings you sorrow and loss. With all that huge burden of care on one's heart one must set to work with a calm everyday face . . . .</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But one feels so miserable at such a time; I have a large pile of studies, but they don't interest me then, and I find them all bad . . . .</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The crayon has a real gypsy soul.</div>SarahKelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11224325648978545957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-33170056904429785732010-04-04T20:25:00.000-04:002010-04-04T20:25:31.377-04:00letters from vincent IV<i>brussels/april 1881</i><br />
