THE PRINCESSA FLORA

THE PRINCESSA FLORA by MICHAEL (MIGUEL) FORBUS paintograpy and photography copyright by Miguel What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician? ...On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly on the alert to the heart-rending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness. (Pablo Picasso) df A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one's thoughts change. (Pablo Picasso) df Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. (Pablo Picasso) gr If my husband ever met a woman on the street who looked like one of his paintings he would faint. (Jacqueline Roque, wife of Pablo Picasso) sl I paint the way someone bites his fingernails; for me, painting is a bad habit because I don't know nor can I do anything else. (Pablo Picasso) sl

Perfect title for a perfect piece ~! Great work, Michael - !

Artist Reply: Thanks so much, Betsy. I hope you got it all worked out with your kids and finally had a nice sit down dinner. Are you living in a place that is foreign to you or have you lived there a while? I am moving back to Florida after spending a year painting and working on some commissioned large format pieces for the village I live in the mountains. I have enjoyed the solitude, but enough is enough. I used to live her about 25 years ago and have a lot of old friends here and as you say all the healing is done and gone and now it is time to put myself out in the world again. Being a water baby, I have lived on the warm coast for almost 30 years some in Mexico, and Central America, California, Hawaii for a bit and then Florida where my daughters live. I tried the mountains which are really gorgeous but the trees are bare 4 to 5 months a year up here and that can set up a negative element. As well as the solitude, although I get a lot of work done. My affection to you and hope this finds you happy and well. Michael

Jeanie Chadwick 07 Nov 2007

the plight of us as artists...really, it's pretty great. Love those quotes Michael. This image has magical eye flow, owed to genius composition.

Artist Reply: Jeanie, thank you so very much for your kind support. I just had to quote Pablito, as most know him only as a misogynist and egoist, and the truth is his own words denigrated his own actions and he had a slightly lower self worth as an artist and was a bit humble about his work due that he was sort of outcast in that Parisian and Spanish crowd of bohemians due to his difficult choices to tear through the veil of mediocrity and those that copied the trend. His reputation was dismal, somewhat, but his own image of himself and the practice of art as a profession was pretty right on the money. He makes me laugh at the quotes he makes about art and artists. But back to art, my deepest gratitude for you kind and educated observations of my work. I will always appreciate that about you and it also shows in your work, that brilliance and comprehension of how it all really works. My gratitude Jeanie and have yourself a most delightful day. Michael.
