モンドリアンのブロック My CQed Mondrian

アーティストDYBの3人目は、オランダのマルグリートのモンドリアンです。白の背景に黒の線が縦横に直角に交叉し、ところどころの四角のますが三原色の赤青黄に塗られた絵は誰もの記憶にあるでしょう。とりあえず何となく白のスペースが多いこのブロックを選んだのですが、一体ここに何を加えればいいのでしょう?私の前にアメリカのゲイルジェリーがすでに2枚終わらせています。

I am the third person to work on Margreet's Artist DYB block. Her artist is Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter. Gayle S and Gerry K have already finished their works. It's really hard for me to find what to do on this block because I have very poor imagination with modern arts.



正直、私は抽象的な現代美術は苦手です。そこに表現されたものの解釈をまるごと預けられた気がして、自分の想像力の不足を痛感してしまいます。しかし何かしないわけにはいきませんので、悩むこと数日。

モンドリアンはきっと哲学的な人だったのでしょう。ギリシャの哲学者たちのように思索のはてに、この世界を構成する根源的な要素をつきつめていったら、この白と黒(光と闇?)、重力に添った垂直線とそれに交わる水平線、すべての色が帰結する三原色にゆきついたのかもしれないと。そんな人が『世界』というときには、雑多な人間の地球を越えて、きっと神に通ずる宇宙の根源まで考えていたのでしょう。彼は神智論者だったそうですし。

というわけで、もう宇宙しかないという気になり、悩んだ割にはまったく芸のないこんな仕上がりになりました。

Anyway, I thought Mondorian must be a philosophical person. In fact he was interested in theosophy, it's said. Like ancient Greek philosophers, he must have been looking for essencial elements of this world; not only this planet but whole cosmos.
Therefore vertical and horizontal lines, black and white (might be darkness and light), the three primary colors.

So here's my result, though there's not much exciting stiches.

Well I've had to think a realllllllly long time about Paul Klee but last night I had an inspiration so now I just have to wait until Gayle chooses her block.. She can choose any block and there will be one I can use for my idea... Now I'm anxious for it to get here... You did great with this one... Gerry K.

I like how this turned out, Hideko. This would be a very difficult block for me to work on too. I think you chose wisely in your interpretation.

Also I like your dyed lace. I've been doing a bit of dyeing myself lately. It's so much fun.

Mondrian was a dfficult artist to interpret for many people Hideko (including me- I didnt much like the works he did - but mainy because I didnt connect to his philosphy ) So I think you have really captured his inner soul here Hideko love your interpretation and the night sky is so beautiful
love n hugs always bear xoxoxoxo
