A whisper, a trembling

2008.05.15






“In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble."
- Paul Gauguin


As the sun sets, the wind chills considerably; the ground where I live seems to cool, and with it, a light breeze picks up, trembling what is left of a once bright autumn show in my backyard.

I tremble with it.

ShangriLa I quite like #1, #2, #3.
Might be off topic but
What is Gauguin saying? I don't understand the second sentence, or how it relates to the first. It does sound nice though. But what does he mean?

mahdisafarali very poetic :) the wind is still blowing :) the fourth is as if pointing at me, is it my turn? ;) like a life which blows, curls, and at the end, ends up in a shroud :) Great job

photopoet I love the way you took a word, drew out its meanings and our perception about the meaning and then allowed the word to grow visually. To tremble is but a whisper compared to other movements—beautiful photos accompanying this "still small voice."

1 and 2 are delightful and then when I see gaugin mentioned there instantly comes from them, in my mind, an evocation of his paintings; the colour and 'design'.. this does seem to prove his point. ?:o)

dhulsmeyer really nice. i like the 3rd one especially.
dhulsmeyer · 2008-05-15: 09:09
kazshots wow another stunning set. these are really creative and artistic. first & second are my faves, more attracted to the abstract ones.
kazshots · 2008-05-15: 09:36
vollenda These are beautiful representations of your words. I find myself drawn to #2. After I figured out what it was ;) , it reminded me a beautiful stained glass window!

Very, very well done!

timestall so great!

kimauman I like the theme a lot. How did you get such a black background? Did you use a black box? Just curious.
kimauman · 2008-05-19: 20:36
Madoc Please keep trembling, my dear friend: The resulting images are wonderful!
The colors and moods of the first two are memorable.
I also really love the details and lighting of 3rd and 6th.
Superb autumn set.
