A great souvenir from the sculptor and the poet

 

With the wonderful relief ORPHEUS AND EURIDICE by the sculptor Arno Breker, we welcome the Spring in our Art Bulletin PROMETHEUS. The legendary couple from the Greek mythology belongs to the fascinating themes of Antiquity. The relief, made from ARA-marble, belongs to the collection www.museum-arno-breker.org

SOLUTION

By Christopher Scott Zavrel

 

So gently upon the mountaintops,

So deftly swept sway--

So life's moment passes.

 

Universe is but a grain of Salt

in the Godly Mind.

God is but a grain of Salt

in the Mortal Mind.

Mortality is but a grain of Salt

in the Universal Mind.

 

Then when did we precipitate,

as fallen from a tree?

Why have we not taken root?

 

Because we walk

while we eat.

Even the hyena

knows to pray

upon his

horrid haunches.

God is fresh meat

before whom

he prostrates.

 

Dissolve Universe in Godly Mind.

Dissolve God in Mortal Mind.

Dissolve Mortality in Universal Mind.

 

Suffer not the passage of Time--

May we all walk as Gods upon Earth.

 

 

From the collection of poems "May we all walk as Gods upon Earth"

DALI VISION: THE EYE OF WISDOM

The Dali Year 2004 under the patronage of H.M. Juan Carlos I. and Queen Sophia of Spain is internationally celebrated. One of the most outstanding sculptures is seen at the Museum Europäische Kunst at the Noervenich-Castle near Cologne, Germany. The bust with the title: DALI VISION: THE EYE OF WISDOM is shown on the occasion of Dalí's 100 birthday in May 2004.

The work belongs to the Royal Dali Collection of the European Art Foundation. It is one of the Dali-Morphosis (1975/1976), combining the work of Dalí's friend Arno Breker and applications by Salvador Dali. The portrait of the King of Surrealism shows the so called 'Third Eye' in the forehead. Dali changed the realistic eyes into the symbol of his "soft time".

Coco Chanel and „sexy" Salvador Dalí

 

Foto: Dalí-Archive/Roger Schall

Coco Chanel and Salvador Dalí were considered to be a 'dream couple' in the society in the Europe of the 1930s. But there was no chance for this international fashion queen, since Dali's lover Gala did not allow any escapades to the young 33 years old painter. Dalí is shown here with the famous fashion designer Coco Chanel in 1937 in her residence in Paris. It is one of the few photographs of the King of Surrealism without an acting pose.

67 years after this photograph was taken, both are honored in the exhibition "The Divine Perfumes of Dalí" on the occasion of the 100th birthday of the master on May 11, 2004. The European Art Foundation is collecting information on Dalí and his perfumes that he created for Elsa Schiaparelli in Paris, Helena Rubinstein in New York, Coco Chanel in Paris, and others. Any information on the subject of Dalí and perfumes are welcome. Please contact Marco-VG@gmx.de
