| Ivan Pavlíček and his paintings |
When
I was in Prague in September, I met Ivan Pavlíček, an artist who paints
abstracts on metal and sells them on Charles Bridge. I was immediately
taken with his work and I bought 5 of his small paintings (the ones with the white borders stacked upright in the tray by his leg). The poems to
match the little paintings came easily to me - the first one started forming as soon as I saw the little painting. I wrote 3 poems in Prague, 1on
the plane home and 1 in January of this year. It felt as if the paintings were
dictating them.
I
was asked to write the poems in Czech as well and that has taken me a few
months to do and I am still working on the last one.
I
posted the 1st poem 2 weeks ago.
Tomorrow I will post the 2nd in the series of 5 (English and Czech). I hope you will enjoy all of them.
