You've captured the image perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThis painting was an oil sketch for a giant mural Mary Cassatt painted for a major American art exhibition. It decorated the Women's Pavilion and was somehow lost after the event. Based on sketches such as this the mural must have been a masterpiece. It's hoped that one day it will be discovered in someone's basement.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many words to describe this painting. I used the word delicate when I posted on the main oage. You got them all into your three lines.
ReplyDeleteTender art for certain, love Mary Cassatt's work.
ReplyDeleteTender ? Hmm- maybe she just happened onto a scene -and she is a little unsure what to do!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your beautiful, short verses. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteShe is gentle yet complex, as are your words.
ReplyDeleteromantic ... yes your spare words match it's sparse edges and open spaces... a nice approach!
ReplyDeleteStephen Hayes' comment added another dimension to your words.:)
ReplyDeleteVery lovely indeed and you have a way with words. I really like that.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
Swinging by for a visit, will leave you a different link then Flat Stanley. I must need a better appreciation of some pieces of art. I really thought it looked like a man, then looked closer and saw a dress. This one doesn't call out to me. But, I still love seeing new things. It helps us grow.

Romantic and delicate .. reasons to love Mary Cassatt's paintings. Years ago during a DC trip I visited the National Gallery of Art and viewed a Cassatt exhibition ... lucky me.
ReplyDeleteCad- you are so correct! I always am learning from Stephen Hayes! He's a great art history teacher!
ReplyDeleteBesides being a wonderful story teller and artist!
I like from tender to delicate art.
ReplyDeleteYes it is! Delicate, demure and distracting but captivating! Nicely Kathe!
ReplyDeleteHank
Mary Cassatt had so much soul...you too!
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout that art lesson from Stephen Hayes?!
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem. But I sure didn't see it the same way you did, which is why it is.......art!
Yes, almost unspeakable tenderness
