Penelope Tree and David Bailey
The model Penelope Tree and photographer David Bailey
fell in love on their first assignment together .
She was the great Sixties model.
Photographers transformed her into all sorts of wild vision.
She was the strange and beautiful discovery of Diana Vreeland
and Richard Avedon.
This photograph was taken on a visit to our Connecticut house in 1971.
ANNA WINTOUR

Umberto Saba
" 孤独 "
続き、、、、
ぼくは、ながい冬を春にかえることもできる。
陽のあたる道は、金色にのびる一本のすじ。
自分にむかって夜のあいさつをしてみたり。
ぼくの場合は、霧も晴天も、ぼくのなかだけにある。
ある完璧な愛も、あるのはぼくのなかだけ。
そのために、苦しみはするけれど、泣きはしない。
目と心さえあれば、ぼくはいい。

" 青春が去って "
Umberto Saba
続き、、、、、
みながするように、ぼくもやってみよう
街道筋をぼくも歩いてなにか探そう
目だけで心をみたすほうがいい
そして待とう、いつか愛がもどるかもしれない
幻滅に終わってもいい、愛なら
歌うときは、目をとじて歌う、愛でも。
日々、愉しみは、何かを、作ること、
そして、それは仕事以外でもいいんだ
真剣に向き合う自分がいれば、、、、。
そして生ある限り、止むことはない
若くはないがね、経験はすばらしい面を与えてくれる
反面、刺激という、活性する、物質は半減する。
それでも、良い時、良くない時もかわらず、
創作に精進する、それが、生きている証
過去を振り返らず、ただ革新と吸収を繰り返す。
精魂尽きるまで。
# 個人や組織でない＃
＃自由業＃

＃それが独立した集合体＃
＃そしたら夢も実現＃
＃それには己という意識を超える勇気＃
＃世代を超えて＃

Marcel Duchamp
One of the most brilliant innovators of modern art, in his New York apartment
in 1959. In back of him is The Nine Malic Moulds, a study for his Large Glass.
Duchamp is still an inspiration to young artists.
Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning
The German surrealist painter in Paris. The Painter Dorothea Tanning,
his wife ,in her studio at Huismes, France , 1959
Brassai
I worked with Brassai for many years when I was at Vu. He was a bird of the
night, and he gave us indelible picture. This was still the era of bordellos,
and he was able to penetrate that life, much the way Weegee later penetrated
the underworld of New York. Brassai was wonderful draftsman and sculptor,
and become a friend of Picasso. His photographs of Picasso's studio at night
are among the most extraordinary documents of modern art. I have always
been intrigued by the fact that so many good photographers came out of
central Europe, especially Hungary. Brassai was Hungarian origin, and so was
Robert Capa. There must be a reason for this. The geography? The light?
This photograph was taken in 1963. Brassai is waiting goodbye as he leave
my sculpture studio in Connecticut. His eyes explain everything about him.
Le Corbusier
The visionary Swiss architect was also a sculptor and painter. Here he is in his
Paris studio in 1954.

Umberto Saba
" 青春が去って "
なにもすることがない、こころはうつろ。
こころがないから、賢者にだってなれる。
そのかわり、もう思い出せない、
古いうたを、あたらしく歌うすべも。
想いではやはり傷口にしみて、日々の
意識にもどす、過ぎてしまった人生を。
愉しかったことは、ほとんどなにも残らず、
痛みはいつまでも動かない、時間のつつくかぎり。
Satan ヘブライ語で敵の意、、、、ユダがキリストを裏切ったという、聖書の、、意味。
善と悪、、、真実は、、、、
AGENDA
連休明け
好きではない、意味のわからぬ、休日も、
どうして、ばらばらと、休みがあるのかと
はたらくサラリーマンの社会での出来事
国民てき行事？、ぼくには、わからぬ休みもある
こんな不況の時代、
復興のために、一つになって、、ひたすらはたらく
Coco Chanel 1962 Photographe Douglas Kirkland
Umberto Saba
" 孤独 "
うつろう季節が、太陽と影が
世界をさまざまに、変える、にぎやかに
いろどり、雲が道をふさぐ。
とりどりの変化を、ぼくの目は
かぎりなくいつくしんできたのだが、今日
悲嘆に身をまかすべきなのか、わからない。
この事実をまえに降参すべきなのか
これほど悲しいというのに、すばらしい天気
ただ、ぼくの胸には、陽が照り、雨が降る。
、、、明日に
