Charles Bukowski - American author
So I last time I read this poem (yesterday) it suddenly hit me that I had never looked up the three paintings (etching & paintings) mentioned in it.
In this modern age it was fairly simple finding these on the web.
So here they are. Now look up the poem (page 4 in Pleasures of the damned) and read it with the same pictures in your head that Buk had at the time...:
1. Daumier. Rue Transonian, le 15 Avril, 1843. (lithograph.)
Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale:
2.Corot. Recollection of Mortefontaine.
Paris, Louvre:
3. Orozco. Christ Destroying the Cross.
Hanover, Dartmouth College, Baker Library:
I thought the middle picture didn't fit in all that well...
Though it could fit the phrase: #sunlight is a lie".
