One Eye Seeing
A la Modigliani – Patio Stone – May 2010
Found another stone that I liked very much, and it inspired me to draw somewhat of a Modigliani. My husband loves her, and placed her in a place he can see her when he walks in the house. There are french doors to the patio, when the patio doors are open you see straight to her. He likes her one eye. The one that is closed, as well as the one that is opened. You tend to see more mindfully when you see with only one eye.
The other day he asked me over lunch at the Greek restaurant in Tarrytown:
“I wondered what happens when we die?”
I believe there is no death.
My dreams tell me that life is a dream, and we dream it again and again. We die and we just wake up to that very best time of our lives, or the time in which we had to work on something very important, and we live it again.
I often see my deceased father in my dreams, and he’s in 1975.
I tell this to my husband, and he says, “well if I die and I have to wake up again, I hope you are by my side.”
That’s just how he is.
So, he took my Modigliani and he placed her in a spot where we can all see her with both our eyes.
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884 – January 24, 1920) was an Italian artist who lived mainly in France. He was a figurative artist and his best known works are often seen in mask-like faces and elongated forms . He died poor and overworked, and suffered from addictions to drugs and alcohol.
