Plums

Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay between poetry and visual art, this collection features 58 variations inspired by William Carlos Williams' poem and Picasso's adaptations of Velázquez's Las Meninas. McLoughlin skillfully blends Williams' sharp wit with the enigmatic qualities of Picasso's work, creating short poems that reflect a vibrant transformation. Each piece captures the essence of both artists, demonstrating how absurdity can lead to profound artistic expression, as seen in the poignant reflection on loss and ownership in the context of Williams' famous plums.
