Summary
[edit]
| Description |
We were wandering that afternoon through the New Orleans Museum of Art, when, suddenly lost from each other in the museum’s rooms, in the time-warped flow we discovered Ubertini’s 16th century lute player serenading Henry Koerner’s 20th century lovers. Ubertini had depicted his young musician contemplating the passing of time “where tales of passionate love are illustrated”. Such is the reach of love over five hundred years . . . from a romantic Italian Renaissance landscape to Koerner’s modern bed to our shifting presence before the paintings . . . where, as Koerner wrote of his 1949 visit to the post-war ruins of his childhood home, the vision of the lovers appeared as . . . “. . . a puff of wind blew through the broken building. (We) looked up to the room in which (we were) born. (We) loved and belonged to the empty space behind the torn curtain.” |
