William Butler Yeats was an irish poet with such strong symbolist and modern poetry from XIX-XX Century, his 1923 Nobel Literature Prize’s shows clearly that his potential was far from uniquely Romastism and Fantastic themes from the past canons.
After my particular readings in the beginning of my 20s, Rimbaud, W. B. Yeats was the next one. The result couldn’t be different than dedicating a whole series of paintings to the writer, moreover, it turned out into a second series of artistic books, which I have worked on the year of 2019 (and turn out in collective exhibitions and the original book is in a particular collection of a writer and journalist).
The chosen poems and its ”canvas rereadings” were:
Oil on Canvas, Vannie Gama. 2019.
Oil on Canvas. Vannie Gama. 2019.
Oil on Wood (No brushs) – Vannie Gama. 2019.
Oil on Canvas. Vannie Gama. 2019.
Oil on Canvas. Vannie Gama, 2019.
Oil on Canvas. Vannie Gama, 2019.
The series ”Yeats & Y ” were created into two original books, both not in the hands of the artists in the next decade of 2020.
The pieces were available during the EXPO Arte SP during the days 18-19/08. The piece ”A memory of Youth” will be available at 9º Mostra de Artes Cidade Poesia” , Paranavaà – Paraná, Brazil. The poems were translated to brazilian portuguese during the year 2019.
