11/October/2024 in Kraków
This week has been strangely fruitful
exceptionally fruitful
By "fruitful",
I meant,
I bumped into several Polish paintings & its painters,
that I immediately found attractive
―Stanisław Wyspiański(スタニスワフ・ヴィスピャンスキ)
Last year
I saw one impressive wall painting in Kraków
Last week
I saw several nice paintings in the museum
And only this week
I got to know it's all made by the same person
Stanisław Wyspiański seemed a multi-talented artist and had several titles
as in
painter/poet/playwright/interior, furniture designer
which obviously reminds me of Mishima, who also had several titles
as in
novelist/poet/playwright/film director/actor/model/activist/bodybuilder(?)
―Olga Boznańska(オルガ・ボズナンスカ)
Everyone who visits the National Museum in Kraków is "forced" to see her signature work, because it's exhibited exactly in front of the entrance
"Girl with Chrysanthemums/Dziewczynka z chryzantemami"
Chrysanthemums is the national flower of my country, which brings me some undeniable familiarity with the painting
And this week
I saw a couple of other works of Olga Boznańska & was drawn to them
―Tamara Łempicka(タマラ・ウェンピツカ)
Her paintings must be very familiar with many people
Only this week, I got to know she was the own who made it
And what blew my mind was
her look
Her visual
And my dogmatic belief became even more dogmatic;
"Artists have to be as attractive look as their works"
In other words,
in my belief,
artists have to be narcissistic,
have to be self-absorbed,
have to be self-intoxicated
Creating artworks & making it to the public
is
already narcissistic enough
Then
why don't they become narcissistic with their own visual?
