The Berkeley Beat: ART

3.

Words from the Art Passage

William Shakespeare,

 recusant poet

exemplar

Shakespeare, Whitman,

Allen Ginsberg, 

that sounds about right,

Allen tends to hogs the camera,
Note how the artist accented
 Ginsberg's semitism
with that Groucho honker

Tableau of fabric arts

Celtic calligraphic cross

Interjection in Arabic

made solid

Cryptic inscription aglow

A is for Eve's Apple

Fruit of 

the Tree of Knowledge

A Yantra is a 

dharmapada

to the heart of things

Evocative Arabesques

beyond representation,

stairway of smoke

The other side of the cross

4.

The Psychology of Art

Figurines

Appropriated photography

Painting intended to express

inner states of mind

Surrealism essentially

Abstract expressionism

by another name

Fields of exploration 

and chance encounter

ever fecund ever new

5.

Bibliotech

 Objets literaires

Hearth made of books

Clock made of book and brushes

Oh, looking so good,

Books made out of wood

Bookend made out of books

Bookcover

 for "The Burried Child"

 6.

Heavy Impasto

Noir Portraits 

in urban scenes

Anomalisa Roma

Movie theater

on a jet liner

Pickpocket jeopardy

Underground train

3D Ticket-taker

 7.

Making a Street Scene

Easy for her to say

 

 Motorcycle seat corset

 Population

 

T-shirt, jersey jammy bottoms,

socks and sheepskin slippers,

Can't wait to get home

to be so comfy
