re, sūkstoties par aizgājušo Parīzi, viņš vienkāršiem vārdiem mums liek paskatīties uz kādu gleznu:
"It was the famous picture "Pa balkong", that he had painted in Paris during early years, in about 1888. A young women, Friherrina Celsing, leans from a balcony facing one of the avenues radiating from the Etoile. The brown skirt with its blue and green reflections, the warm blond hair tucked under a little hat such as Manet's and Renoir's women wore, stand out in the canvas against the transparent white lead, the gray-pink of the house fronts, and the damp green of the trees in avenue. A carriage is passing below the balcony. It is a black cab and, seen from above, the horse looks as if it were made of wood:stiff lean, it strikes a note of childish play in that quaint and delicate Parisian street. The horses of the omnibus that is driving down from the Etoile appear to be freshly varnished with the same shiny enamel as that of the horse-chestnut leaves. They look like the wooden horses on a merry-go-round during a provincial fair in that delicate provincial hue of trees, of houses, of sky above the roofs of the avenue. The sky is still that of Verlaine and already that of Proust." Garšīgi! |
