"The Caged Tiger" Rollage

"Study of a Tiger" by Francois Desportes (1661-1743) is the background and "Scene from the Chateau de Bicétre Ballet: The Sprites' Entrance by Daniel Rabel (1578-1637) form the bars of his cage.

  1. "The Panther" by Rainer Maria Rilke came in my mind - a poem I have on my desk right now (for the project I am working on) - so - this would be a very interesting way to interpret it! ....
    And a very interesting collage - hem- rollage you made, Angie!

    1. Thank you Sabine and thank you for pushing me to make something I would have never thought of!

  2. Yes, Sabine, I know that poem well, in German and in various translations, and I love it. And this artwork, Angie, is just breathtaking! I'm a bit biased, because I'm a fan of tigers, but seriously, the sense of movement contained behind bars, and the overall harmony of the lines and colors, makes for a wonderful piece indeed!

    1. Many thanks Fi. As I said (above) to Sabine, I would have NEVER made this piece if it had not been suggested as a theme. And I just commented on the wonderful landscape you created using the rollage technique.

  3. Me too had this wonderful poem in my mind ... I once made a card that makes these kind of roll age 'move' ... (must see if I can find it)
