To love a painting is to feel that this presence is… not an object but a voice.
~ Andre Malraux ~
Hadrian’s Villa
by
Peter Blume
A perfect reminder of the beauty of autumn, workers gathering to harvest olives; I love the colors in this painting and the feeling of joy, which the workers appear to have, it is almost as if they are dancing.
Art can never exist without naked beauty displaced.
~ William Blake ~
