Chapter 37: "Aujourdh’ui l’echo de l’orage resonne"

Speaker 0 00:00:00 Chapter 37. <unk>. This chapter describes a pastel on paper, drawing titled O by Rita Laton, created in 1942 and measuring 47 by 67 centimeters. It is one and a half minutes long. Speaker 1 00:00:21 Can you feel a storm after it passes, maybe in the smell of the air or the temperature change in <unk> or today? The echo of the storm resounds. Rita Lat focuses on sounds and reverberations. She has used pastel, a Chucky pigmented material to create an abstract composition of horizontal bands of vivid color blurring or almost vibrating, as they transition upwards from rich blue to yellow, to pale green, to orange to red, to black to blue, and then back to red. Is her inspiration the sky after a storm, or is it the artist reflecting on the after effects of a more personal emotional storm? As she is written, my paintings are completely emotional, full of hair trigger intensity through them. I challenge space and time. I paint freedom, escape from the here and now from the mundane. The world isn't only what we see or what we experience. What are the textures or colors you attribute to emotions, both intense and tranquil? Speaker 0 00:01:32 You're done the tour.
