a letter for her.

“empress v, this evening everything is grandfather clocks and tremulous unsure ephemeral. have i ever told you that the kindrederie of our spirits makes me feel silk and unalone? rise out of your lake, Aphrodite, sojourn to the East. i’ve noticed that you like flowers; spill-over thin-petal flowers, cherry-red and sunny pink. you’re a bougenvillea darling, baroquette. in some hazy dream we are sharing macarons
your lolito” 

I FORGOT ABOUT THESE

Marc Chagall. Woman with a Bouquet, 1910. Paris.

Private collection

During his time in Paris, Chagall was constantly reminded of his home in Vitebsk, as Paris was also home to many painters, writers, poets, composers, dancers, and other émigre′s from the Russian Empire. However, “night after night he painted until dawn”, only then going to bed for a few hours, and resisted the many temptations of the big city at night.My homeland exists only in my soul”, he once said. He continued painting Jewish motifs and subjects from his memories of Vitebsk, although he included Parisian scenes—- the Eiffel Tower in particular, along with portraits. Many of his works were updated versions of paintings he had made in Russia, transposed into Fauvist or Cubist keys.

Chagall developed a whole repertoire of quirky motifs: ghostly figures floating in the sky, … the gigantic fiddler dancing on miniature dollhouses, the livestock and transparent wombs and, within them, tiny offspring sleeping upside down. The majority of his scenes of life in Vitebsk were painted while living in Paris, and “in a sense they were dreams”, notes Lewis. Their “undertone of yearning and loss”, with a detached and abstract appearance, caused Apollinaire to be “struck by this quality”, calling them “surnaturel!” His “animal/human hybrids and airborne phantoms” would later become a formative influence on Surrealism. Chagall, however, did not want his work to be associated with any school or movement and considered his own personal language of symbols to be meaningful to himself. But Sweeney notes that others often still associate his work with “illogical and fantastic painting”, especially when he uses “curious representational juxtapositions.

Sweeney writes that “This is Chagall’s contribution to contemporary art: the reawakening of a poetry of representation, avoiding factual illustration on the one hand, and non-figurative abstractions on the other.” André Breton said that “with him alone, the metaphor made its triumphant return to modern painting.

People who say they want, but they can’t handle.

(The other two ‘great monasteries’ are Sera Monastery and Drepung Monastery.)

Its full name is Ganden Namgyal Ling (dga’-ldan rmam-rgyal gling). Ganden means “joyful” and is the Tibetan name for Tuṣita, the heaven where the bodhisattva Maitreya is said to reside. Namgyal Ling means “victorious temple”.
