Artist: Renoir

- Bouquet of Chrysanthemums (here)
(notice the uncouth disarray of lines and
loud colors typical of the impressions era)
It was in contravention of norms
contingent upon provocations
of revolutionaries of art forms
Futuristic with a vicious snarl
as cowering cubism laying in wait
for too long. It was in contradiction
of the master's forays of movements
Whorls and wavy lines wavering
wilfully in loud colors with splashes
of orange-red and black. Very much
that of octopus-like tentacles around
an apparition wretched looking
Impressionism was defying perspectives
unbridled and undaunted about distances
Appearing uncouth it caused upheavals
to conventional still life, portraits
and scenic landscape beauties
For Bjorn's at d'Verse's MTB - with futurism
The octopus brings up a vivid visual!
ReplyDeleteMaybe each time has its own revolution... maybe we need one for today as well...
ReplyDeleteThis is quite an idea for even today! But I'd go for not too much of a dark side!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to write a verse about a painting. Well done Hank wonderful words and a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
It was a great revolution..bringing art forward without limits. Good one.
ReplyDeleteLong live the revolution
ReplyDeleteespecially painted in style like this
You do not live an unexamined life!
ReplyDeleteEach art period seems to start with a revolution & causing upheaval with the norm ~
ReplyDeletethis future is now our past - very nice imagery of the forces that drove this art
ReplyDelete- "Appearing uncouth it caused upheavals" - ah so true - the shock of the new
A little revolution can sure bring forth some new forms and ideas.

The W's and short A's in splashes and black... not to mention the image conjured... this is truly a brilliant passage in a great poem. Good work!
Love how you captured the raw wriggling emergence of the movement impressed upon the snobby art world.

That's a brilliant point! ❤️
