“Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen.”

I am a painter of words-- the mind can create visions of both but the hand is more skilled reproducing typed words than it is with recreating physical images in nonverbal form including handwriting.

Great words, painted with skill 😘

For me art is poetry and poetry is art, poetry in images, in sounds and in movement…
Loved your poem Pat and this post! Cheers.

My friend sent me an email :
Noticed the changing art world (scroll down) and thought of your recent blog describing written and artistic works.
From the New York Times
The changing art world
Museums are including more diverse artists and forms as they try to find audiences in a distracted world, according to a Times special section exploring the changes. Here are some examples:
The Guggenheim Museum, New York: The Guggenheim now has a poet in residence, the first at an institution devoted to visual art. The museum will soon have “poem signs” in stairwells, the rotunda and the columns in the cafe, and poetry readings over a bullhorn.
