Art Where No Men Tread

Goldfinch60



As I see those lands ahead

Those lands where no men tread,

I see that wondrous piece of art

Which pulls me so strongly,

So strongly to its heart.

I will find a way to tread those lands,

And along those lands I'll go.

I’ll reach that painting,

That painting which pulls me,

Pulls me into it so strongly,

And to that painting I will bow.

 

 

Artwork by Michael Edwards.

  • Comment from author about the poem: A couple of days ago Michael Edwards put up a poem called "Where No Men Tread" and on this piece was this artwork. The more I look at this piece of art the more I see, this happens so often to me with Michael's abstract paintings and I have written about them previously. Thank you so much for the honour of seeing your works Michael.

    A fine write and pic Gold.
    Oh lol, on a quiz prog it said 'After the war certain musical works were experimental; some not very good and rather trashy'. It was a question on your favourite love-to-hate musician, Stockhausen!

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Orchi.

      Beecham was not the only one who did not go much on Stockhausen then.

        A wonderfully flowing and very inspiring tribute to Michael's abstract artwork - - he will love to read and keep this posting dear Andy.

        • Goldfinch60

          what a tribute Andy...
          I must go check the piece of Michaels art to which you refer... He is a fine artist I know and seems to be able to turn his hand to many forms and styles..

          • Goldfinch60

            Than k you Neville. Yes he is a fine artist, I enjoy so much of his work but he abstracts always speak to me,

            Reflecting upon this, together with the comments so far and the picture reproduced here I am having to admit to myself that i have been guilty of taking Michael's work for granted.

            I do so agree he is a fine, undoubtedly very talented, master of the visual art in many genres as we have all seen.

            I guess i am making an excuse for my taking for granted when i tell you that i am always in "the written word" mode when i see these pics so rarely take time to appreciate their fineness.

            I feel guilty now lol.

            A fine tribute from you Goldfinch revealing how 'trippy' your meditations upon this artwork become.

            • Goldfinch60

              Over the years art has been another thing that I have got into and I always look into the depths of artworks to see what is within in them that talks to me.
              If I had my way I would be living at The Ashmolean in Oxford, I have been there many times and there is one painting there that I have stood in front of for many hours and each time I see something new.

              It must be the mushrooms that I have found in the wood. LOL.

              Yes Michael's art work is masterful and we are blessed to have him here among us. And I too tend to see things within the picture. For one at first I thought it a foot, then I looked at it again here and I see it's a hand in a glove. Wonderful visual art to go with wonderful poetry from both of you. ; ) AP

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you AP, I see many things in Michael's art but so many people look but don't see when they look at artworks - I see.
