The richness and beauty of this scene is just exquisite. It is based on a poem, with the man and woman walking out into a snowstorm, but barely feeling the cold, as they are warm and happy in each other's presence. All around them are pockets of artificial light and warmth in the city buildings, cars, and passing "el" train, but they are in their own world of warmth, where love and affection are stronger than any storm. Gene, this is a lovely, unforgettable creation.
After a long, strange journey, this drawing did indeed reach its home. One last time, thank you Gene, for this beautiful creation (under the mythic symbolism in this piece, the poem it is drawn from is about my late mother's death from cancer, and needless to say it has deep emotional meaning for me). Finally, my heartfelt thanks to Tansy, for your caring return of this artwork. My family will always be grateful to you.
Tansy, having visited this page, you are probably aware that this artwork was commissioned by me. I was deeply distressed when it was lost, and (as it is a depiction of a very personal work, one of my poems) I have a significant emotional connection with it. Before placing this in an open auction, please contact me. My e-mail address is [email protected].
Gene, your rendering is astonishing. This image, taken from the poem depicting the last night on earth of a modern goddess embodying passion, and a god who is the avatar of dangerous intelligence, captures so much subtlety: from the rising flames and cresting wave that embrace her, arcing into the cold reaches of space that hover about him; from the icons like strange halos over their heads; to their expressions (rapture, and hard-edged control), you captured this vision of an avante-garde "last supper" with grace and power.
