    Raša Todosijević: Light and Darkness of Symbols

    A PAINTER AND AN ART CRITIC 

    I used to know a handsome painter that had a hole in his head. One could judge, from afar, that the said hole was as wide and as deep as a rifle cartridge.  And even though it has never been proved, malicious people say that, as years went by, it grew larger and larger. It won’t go amiss if I casually mention an art critic here, as well. He had, as did the painter, a hole, in the same place, almost of the same proportions. Whenever the two would meet, the holes would, with no visible cause, as if by some mysterious command, just so, simultaneously, on their own accord, start whistling. The painter would then prick his ears up, the critic would too, and they both would, hand in hand, enjoy themselves immensely, listening to their holes whistle on.Raša Todosijević

    His retrospective is on view @ Serbian Pavillion

    The Dew Machine, 1937 by Roland Penrose Hair had been an important theme for Roland Penrose before he met Lee Miller when he created a Surrealist object titled The Dew Machine (destroyed in the war) made from the head he sawed off a mannequin . He had a wig made of long blonde straight hair, added false eyelashes, and completed her transformation to life by painting the eyes, lips and flesh tones. The head, elegant but banal, hovers upside down above a baseboard and the kind of funnels used by chemists are inserted into the neck, filled with coloured beads. Thin strings connect the funnels to a stick that passes through the hair that caresses the baseboard. A further wine glass shaped apparatus completes the object, and strengthens the conjunction between the forces of arcane magic and the magic of science. It is easy to imagine the object scaled to a gigantic size, the funnels loaded with mysterious substances feeding the hair that softly trails across the countryside wherever dew is needed . from MONDOBLOGO [caption found accompanying this work]
