This essay made me remember the talk from Iron Man 2 https://youtu.be/xU5GV6zsK1U , I’m limited by the technology of my time. Speaking of technology and emotion or rather the emotional landscape of the painting here in question. This masterpiece was used as an altarpiece dedicated to Saint George in The Palau de la Generalitat https://www.artic.edu/artworks/15468/saint-george-and-the-dragon . This chapel was a place of ceremonies , music and worship. I’ll include a piece of music from the time of the painting. I do so like to listen to music as I look at these works of art or read poems from a different time. The music often registers the emotional chord to me for a piece like this one. The music wasn’t a secondary thing in the original experience of the painting but one of the primary like the architecture. Thank you for sharing your insights and instincts .<br />This work by Guillaume was used in the consecration of a sacred place and is from the period. <br />https://youtu.be/_dV5b8AuLHgTrifoliumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-45670267954810941812021-01-13T01:14:00.407-08:002021-01-13T01:14:00.407-08:00also while things are good. so: No pattern reallyalso while things are good. so: No pattern reallyZak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-43361325412120101112021-01-13T01:03:58.715-08:002021-01-13T01:03:58.715-08:00Now that I think of it, a whole lot of great art w...Now that I think of it, a whole lot of great art was created at really bad times, either in general (there's a world war or it's 1937 and Stalin runs the country or it's the fifteenth century and chances are high that you're already dying and there's nothing you can do about it) or personally for the artist (you're an alcoholic and addicted to cocaine and you cannot remember how you wrote this book that you've just finished, and you're pretty sure if you try to quit you won't be able to write anymore). And it often shows, just like with George and his dragon. <br />Scary.

I don't know if it's at all likely, but is their any chance it will get hooked back together with the rest of the altarpiece in Paris?

But they get no more hits than any other post and considerably less than dramaposts or ones about stuff you can buy (like the PrincetonArchitectural Press notebooks).<br /><br />So I guess the moral of the story is that people are proud to say that they like art posts but they’ll read anythingZak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-84581498339059803752021-01-12T14:39:45.801-08:002021-01-12T14:39:45.801-08:00This is why I come here.
