Yellow DancerNietzsche believed life to be a dancer and T.S. Eliot believed that "there is only dance".
When I was drawing her face, I realised that her face is without definite features because in life the face that is being formed is our own, therefore the dancer has your face. "I dance after you. I follow you even when only the slightest traces linger. Where are you? Give me your hand! Or just your little finger!" I desire to understand the fire of the maker. Nietzsche was very similar to Heraclitus—"fire is the fundamental substance (there you have brilliant yellow); everything, like a flame in fire, is born by the death of something else. All my paintings have yellow in them; it is a defiance against the "dying of the light". |
