Roman Payne: “The Muse is Not an Artistic Mystery”
Photographer Unknown, (Sleeping)
“The ‘Muse’ is not an artistic mystery, but a mathematical equation. The gift are those ideas you think of as you drift to sleep. The giver is that one you think of when you first awake.”

Zdenka Braunerová
Zdenka Braunerová, “Study of a Baker”, Late 1800s, Gouache on Paper, 29 x 33.5 cm
Zdislava Rosalina Augusta Braunerová, called Zdenka, was a Czech landscape painter, illustrator and graphic artist. She was born in Prague on April 9th of 1858 into a wealthy family. Her father was František August Brauner, a member of the Imperial Council.
Braunerová developed her interest in art from her mother, Augusta, who was an amateur painter. As her talents became apparent, she began taking lessons from Amalie Mánesová. Later, she studied with Soběslav Pinkas. In 1896, she became the first female member of the Mánes Union of Fine Arts, but was apparently expelled in 1906. Zdenka Braunerová died in Prague on May 23, 1934.

Jack London: “This Forgetfulness of Living”
Photographer Unknown, (This Forgetfulness of Living)
“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame.”
-Jack London, The Call of the Wild

Paul Klee
Paul Klee, “Wald Bau (Forest Construction)”, 1919, Mixed Media Chalk, 27 x 25 cm
Though Paul Klee was affiliated with the German expressionists, his work defies categorization. Ever experimental, he employed a variety of materials and styles throughout his career. In 1921 he began teaching at the Bauhaus. Klee’s collected lectures were published as “Writings on Form and Design Theory (Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre)”, today considered one of the most important teaching texts in the history of modern art.
In this abstract painting entitled “Wald Bau, Forest Construction,” there are references to an evergreen forest intermingled with gridded elements suggestive of walls and paths. The painting mixes symbolic primitive drawing with a representational use of color.
