My Dear Heather review

Post by Juan »

So after reading so many reviews and comments about the new Leonard Cohen album, Dear Heather, here comes my own review:

"Dear Heather
Please walk by me again
With a drink in your hand
And your legs all white
From the winter"

Hope you like this review.

Best regards,

Juan

PD: If you feel confused, please read Borges.

the Blind Man by Gabriele di Matteo

Image

"The portrait of Borgès, repeted five times, acquires an emblematic value, by the character, the pose, the dimensions of the paintings, the force of the starting image.

The search for a difference that would distinguish the painting from one to another leads the viewer to gradually take a distance from the subject painted to get only attached to the pictorial ballet. The painting then appears for what it is, track of a moment of physical expense and of great mental concentration.

Beyond the portrait of the librarian of Buenos Aires, it is all the work of Borgès that is convoked : in the Di Matteo's procedure we find the questionning of Borgès on the false, the remake, the unique... and on identity and creation."

"He can love the shape of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes of the heart. It is good to have among us such men, such balancing monsters of love."
