One of the van Gogh’s, rooks over a cornfield series, was thought to be one of his last paintings. Years ago I wrote a Radio 3, 60′ play based around Renoir’s, LUNCHEON OF THE BOATING PARTY. I created a story for the character with the straw hat on the left of the painting. I called him Metoikos. T.S. Eliot often signed his name, Metoikos, Greek for, resident alien, which is how Eliot felt about himself as an American living so long in England.
Francis Bacon believed that when one stood infront of a painting there was nothing one could say. The communication was purely visual, it was beyond verbal language. I’m not sure that’s true. Is it?
