Before going back to the original circle ...

Flemish painting was influenced by Italian expression, which you could see clearly in their landscaping canvas after 1648, unlike German sculpture which was also influenced by southern Italian art, Dutch painters combined them in a less successful way … Maybe I just simply don’t appreciate anything here.

 

 

‘The night watch ‘is named one of the masterpieces in Flemish painting, it was famous for good lightening, I simply don’t like it, at all. Things are very simple , an article which could keep you reading is a good one , a painting which could touch your blood is a good one and a city which could keep you thinking is a good one … Therefore Rembrandt is not my artist , therefore Holland is not my stop … I’m getting out of here , as soon as possible .

The culture I’m coming from indicates different ways of saying things , here , I could only pick up the most silly one and make it in an even worse way , I have never had difficulties with language as I have here , I’m living out of harmony , with everything . The sky is furious and I’m nervous, what a harmony!  The rain in this city will go on and on, would never stop, at least it seems to be so, my mind flies trillions of miles away, would never be fine here, at least I feel so, but if you ask me, how I find all of these, insistently, and it makes all the beauty!

 

 

A butterfly is laying on the window in front, what an ironic coincidence, a bright future in front, the question mark is: how to get rid of there and to get it?

Funny, I think the Night Watch is actually quite a good painting - and if you see all of the paintings which were commissioned for the Guilds contest (which this was a part of) - you'll see how it is so radically different and comprehensively impressive compared to its contemporaries.

As for Nederlands - give it a chance. It always takes a while for life to find you. For plans to unfurl. If you move too fast you run the risk of never catching up with yourself.

I like Amsterdam as it does give you the freedom to be yourself - to quite a degree. If you know yourself! Believe it's much better than many other cities and countries!
