Gabriel Marquez Garcia-- Artist

God must have spilled stars liquid on His brooding Gabriel Marquez Garcia… weaving, crushing and shaping words lacquered with magical realism. But this is not his only primal appeal; his Latin veins spread a scenic collage of life pierced by decades profound…meaningless then meaningful like a glue of patience in ‘Love in Time of Cholera’, the alchemy of serendipity flowing oh so slowly along eternity’s belt and hanging angel dreams on a wax, as if his pages bleed with quivering fingers that speak of growing old when men stop loving and serenading the moon…and God spills me with stars climbing inside my bones; my sacramental eyes collapse on Garcia’s hands tasting his need for cities to become one family, transcending more than ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’.
................................ Your Favorite Artist Contest of Anthony Slausen *A dedication to Nobel Laureate Gabriel M. Garcia who passed away last April 17, 2014. He wrote 'Love In the Time of Cholera' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', among others. 4/20/14

This is a great tribute to him Nette. I heard of his passing last week. He was one great man. He was Columbian, but lived in Mexico. May he rest in peace. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla

Fantastic!!! I wasn't sure many here would know of him. Even more surprising is that the Nobel organization hasn't called me yet!!!! I am hoping Anne Lise can help me correct this oversight!!!! ( kidding ) Happy Easter!!!

It takes one to be connected with an artist and feel him though his craft, and this stunning poetry shows how deeply well you must have grown with Garcia. Bow!
