Jesteś piękna, Lauro. Bardzo ładnie razem wyglądacie, a Ty przy R. przypominasz małą dziewczynkę. W dodatku mam wrażenie jakby na przedostatnim zdjęciu te dłonie przenikały przez siebie. Bajeczne istoty.
Your photography is very erotic, and this is really interesting. It is an eroticism hidden in shadows, silences, and ritual objects. It is beautiful. Do you know the painter R.B.Kitaj? He is my favorite. His work is so intense, so melodramatic yet full of meaning. I suppose much of its glory comes from the accompanying texts he wrote during his life. One of his best paintings is called "Women and Men". It is a painting of naked bodies. Here is how he described it, and I find that it has a lot of relevance to your photography:
" WOMEN AND MEN 1991-3 by R.B.Kitaj
This was inspired by my second-favourite painting in London, The Young Spartans by Degas, which I had in my Artist's Eye exhibition at the National Gallery. I can't think of a sexier painting in my experience of art and I can't think of another oil painting done before which is so supremely drawing that it manages to suggest an exciting art-form not tried out until then. Surely Matisse was encouraged by any number of Degas oil paintings in which drawing (as drawing) becomes at least as decisive as the thin, painterly painting. For me, Matisse would bring this new kind of painting-drawing to an apotheosis of sorts in his Violinist at the Window of 1918, a painting I adore, which I try to visit every time I go to Paris.
I guess these are the two main themes in Women and Men: sexual drama and the idea of painting-drawing, both themes provoking each other, not unlike the provocation between the Spartan girls and boys. I prefer that each person makes up her / his own fantasy-story as to what's going on in my picture, if anyone's interested enough. But I will just say that as I enter my nightmare of sexual decline, I've noticed that I get a little less depressed as I take up sexual questions in my art with a new passion. I'm fascinated by all the furious sexual debates swirling around like crazy at the end of my century and I think that the hubbub maybe ought to take into account something I've noticed about late modern art. It occurs to me that men and woman are rarely seen together in paintings any more. At least, they are not depicted together in heterosexual relationship in the work of the dozen or so very well-known painters I most admire. One must go back to late Picasso and early Balthus for this all-too-human stuff. Has our art been too exhausted by sophistication? Women and men will never be stale news in art. Women and men, as a subject in painting, can help bring beauty and good cheer and erotic pleasure back from wherever those things have gone."
