Brian Strand Poet Narrative

Vignette-16th Century Ab-Ex

A clever painting,full of wit
On his mantle piece did sit,
No genre do they now fit-
Filling this canvas with tomes & books
A librarian,with abstract looks

The Librarian by Arcimboldo

Sharon Winter January 14, 2009 at 5:18 AM Wow is this picture ever worth a look! I absolutely LOVE it! Absolutely brilliant! It can sit on my mantle piece any day (although I don't have one). Wonderful poem and thanks for taking another look at this incredible artist. Love, Shar

Raul Moreno January 14, 2009 at 2:31 AM Excellent captivation of a great painter Brian. This narrative says so much in the lovely poetic way of your words...Raul

Elaine George January 14, 2009 at 1:00 AM He was a very creative abstract painter. I espicially like the open book portraying a rather unique hair style. Again you have captured him entirely in this short poignant narrative. Lainie.
