Wish I could remember particular references by the media/authors & their views on art & life - but often I foot note it in my mind - and that's not a reliable organ these days!
Oh well, I know Nick Kent makes some observations in his memoir 'Apathy for the Devil' A 1970's Memoir, but where I don't know, perhaps instead of sifting randomly through I should just read the whole lot.....................
Time?
Have got some head space today, finally.
Coffee time soon.
Yesterday was a perfect morning, bright sunshine. Went for a walk during sunday school, just too nice to stay inside. Looking for butterflies.
By early afternoon I was feeling quite fragile - got a coffee while out doing some domestic erands and felt a whole lot better.
Fresh fish and chips for dinner tonight.
The art quote for today in the title comes from a Holocaust survivor.
Adolek Kohn was liberated by Russian troops in WWll.
He returned as a survivor with his daughter and five grandchildren and broke into a dance in front of the ARBEIT MACHT FREI sign to the tune of Gloria Gaynor's 'I will survive'.
Kohn states 'Someone said I nearly danced on my own grave. But this danciong at Auschwitz is a celebration of life.'
The message - Art must go on even after Auschwitz.
