" Ars longa, vita brevis occasio
praeceps
praeceps
Art is long, life is short, opportunity
fleeting,
difficult.
:Ὁ βίος βραχύς,
- ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή,
- ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξύς,
- ἡ δὲ πεῖρα σφαλερή,
- ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή."
Hippocrates
Roland Reiss Poem
on my 10th day of
National Poetry Month
Poem a Day
Roland Reiss at Claremont Art Museum
celebrate a return to history ~
not a retrospective, peeks in his past.
Color bombs cultivated to outlast.
Miniatures in plex-cases reveal
narratives laid out in minute detail
diorama natural history.
lifelike scenes offer a view of story.
Watch a television melodrama
endings determined in the spin around
movies playing out without the three acts
from a peephole, viewers discern the facts.
The paintings also share high principles
buried brushstrokes under dirt road washboards,
glossed color medium gives such a sheen,
stinking aroma of permanent green.
Amaryllis opens on time Christmas
captures forced a 17th Century bulb
and tulips as the Dutch Masters did save
Reiss tames cadmium yellow to behave.
Disney, The Capital and winged airplanes
humming low under Matisse colored sky.
Not wild lupine, these cultivars create
music by the Master that is first rate.
