Like what i knew but don\u2018t know, because it seems to happen now. But &#8211; I love the old. I am in the old. I like the old. It is about sunset, the golden, the view back from a peak. I hunt the peaks for the views and I recognized the views in your works, I recognized the signs, I recognized you standing on another peak, but next to me. <em>Oh, and my peaks arent about fame and wealth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I then climbed on and entered a cave, covered all over with shady signs of &#8211; of what? Is this a reflection, a prophecy, an incantation or even a blessing?<\/p>\n<p>The old is about systems, the new is about signposts. And I find it all in you.<br \/>\nIt is the understanding and it is the adventurous curiosity to find out about it,<br \/>\n<em>find it, see it?,<\/em><br \/>\nit also is about the way to the golden &#8211; out of the cave, on and on.<\/p>\n<p>Beauty, hidden one, invisible, because lying on the street just a few inches beside our next or past step, in its camouflage of commonplace. You see the signs and you turn them into painting &#8211; and yet again: Is this a reflection, a prophecy, an incantation or even a blessing?<\/p>\n<p>There is this one German painter you and I adore, and with whom I have spent some of my few decades. He saw the signs and turned them into painting. Decades later, people ask or define: Is this a reflection, a prophecy, an incantation or even a blessing?<\/p>\n<p>Probably it is.<\/p>\n<p>So, please, dont let us talk about the Almanach as explanation, or decryption, because they are no letters, no numbers, it is no riddle or code. No superintellectual-if-you-dont-understand-you-must-be-too-stupid-for-art conceptual test-tube-fertilisations.<\/p>\n<p>A reflection, a prophecy, an incantation or even a blessing.<br \/>\nMaybe.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Tal.<br \/>\nLet us climb on, enjoy the views and leave more traces.<br \/>\nLet them call it an Almanach.<\/p>\n<p>I call it love.<br \/>\nRen\u00e9.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class='clear'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tal R Almanach 67 (2015) Almanach 67 (Images) Untitled Flowers (2020) Untitled Flowers (Images) Bird in Cage (2021) FLAG (2021) Dear Tal, when I first saw your works you stroke a chord with me.
