Eisegerwind Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I don't really do art. I'm one of those people that need an indication of how long I need to stare at a picture in a gallery. However this touched me very deeply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be pedantic, but thougth I'd check. But it made me look closer. And the first thing I noticed was there's another bridge, over on the left, that I'd never noticed before. And then a little boat, down in the water. The river, Thamess as it happens. It seems it's a bridge at Maidenhead.... And finally, it seems, there is a hare on the track. Can anyone make it out?

The hare is there, but not easy to make out - certainly in any scaled down reproduction: As it happens I saw a Turner exhibition in Kyoto last week.

I have a print of it (inherited from my Dad) plus i also now have one of Dali's similar painting, Hypercubus. It depicts the 4 dimensional hypercube unfolded into a 4-armed cross which is then portrayed as the crucifixion scene. Sorry i dont know how to add a photo. I'll have a try though.

Maybe that's another reason I don't get art all the god botherer stuff. That picture is just a fantasy used to promote religion. The reality would be a picture of man nailed to a bit of wood dying, covered in vomit, shit and urine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
