Art Ekphrasis 1 Wols and Palmer -Recited
WOLS EKPHRASIS
Tachiste,blot and stain,spontaneous of
the moment ,like life itself can so often be.
Small scale in composition,compulsive
unrecognised at the time,yet literal and
long lasting,are the memories we see
Inspired by Wols ‘Composition’ c 1950
PALMER EKPHRASIS
In a Shoreham garden,scent
of blossom fills the air,a white
blaze of spring to make every
heart sing.Impressioniste before
its time.A profusion of clouds
or blobs,dabs &extravagences
per se.This stylised enigma
proliferacy in a pastoral wood
by a once-upon-a-time teen-age
prodigy..made good.
Inspired by Samuel Pamer’s in
A Shoreham Garden 1827
