Wearing the Willow
With
a tear
and a sigh
of what might have
been-
the
so sad
memories,
of a lady in
green
An Ekphrasis -A woman in a Green Jacket by Auguste Macke
See link on my blog 'NO HOLDING BACK
PERSONAL NOTE:
For me this figurative work has a touch of Edward Hopper about it.Although painted in 1913
tto me here is a certain' prophetic 'quality about this woman in green and the numerous
widows/single ladies in the 1920's after WW1 devastation in Europe's of 'its cream of youth'.I
recall working with two or three of them from that era, in the London in the early sixties
