Feb 28 Two Es at Central Library

Before dinner, I spent a little time at the 10/F of Central Library. There, you can find something you have not expected for (also you cannot find what you aim for). Yesterday, I read 2 books of 2 Es artists: Enrico Donati and Ernst Haas.


I am always overwhelmed by the Art Library because......the oversize books are always too big and heavy for me. But it keeps me patient to flip the books for a longer time otherwise it will be tiring to put the books up and down.


What the work of Donati attracted me was the clear-cut lines and colorful patterns. His story was also interesting as he originally was a musician and became a painter in his 30s. His style switched from surrealism to abstracism and back to surrealism in his old time.


About him and his work:




He was also a close friend of Duchamp though their friendship was based on chess more than on art.






It was a good time-killing activity to sketch the painting.




I used several minutes before leaving for dinner to take a glimspe of the Photography corner and I picked the retrospective works of Ernst Hass.
Not particularly like or dislike, his photos show me what he saw and where he went but still I couldn't see what he thought. Have to see more?
I think I haven't listened to 徐小鳯 so many times like yesterday to find out what the original Japanese song of her song <無奈> is. Actually it wasn't found out by me. Thank you Dean!

"With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will." - Ernst Haas
