Miscellaneous Arab's Mouth/Belle Moral Note
Description
A page of Ann-Marie's notes that reads the following:
"P: 'avant garde'
V refers to "atmosphere" of the portrait
(TURNER)
the portrait needs to look misty +
suggestive Turneresque
Flora's fear of London + the stinking
Thames - 'it's beautiful' says V
LONDON was biggest city in the world
in greatest Empire
'the artist's feelings before the subject
rather than the subject itself'
revolted against idea that art should
contain some moral or didactic
purpose vs art for art's sake
'blur the line between imagination
+ reality'
V: art and science. like twins wrenched apart.
separate beings but need to know + love one another"
