Carlo Carrà (1881-1966) was an Italian painter and a leading figure of The Futurist Movement.
I had the bandaged man sitting on my work table and he seemed just right for this theme
and this painting by Carrà.
Collaborative traditional cut and paste (scissors and glue ) collage blog with a weekly set theme.
Sorry for not adding any comments for a while as 'weve both been laid low with the man flu and the lady flu or whatever this awful bug is ! Some lovely work here and we hope to be well enough to appreciate it and add our own.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. I also have been the victim of a nasty bug and I had to travel in the early stages of it to boot (the day I posted this theme! My symptoms were the typical "cold virus is coming on" but I also had low energy and when you are with family in sunny & warm New Orleans, Louisiana it was go go go... At any rate I only missed one dinner out and with the help of DayQuil & NyQuil -- daytime and nightime cold meds I was able to soldier on. I am almost 100% back at this point and I certainly hope you two will feel the same soon!!
DeletePowerful image Angie. Will check out more on Carlo Carrà.
ReplyDeleteWishing everyone all the best of health during this cold virus season. Get well soon.
Thanks Ron. Those two images were meant to get together.
DeleteRon...I was lucky find a 1972 paperback copy of METAPHYSICAL ART by Massimo Carrà at a book sale where I found the image I used in the background. This is a good, brief introduction to the art of Carrà:
