Description
WATERCOLOR AND SOME ACRYLIC INK ON ARCHES WATERCOLOR PAPER, 15 X 11 INCHES. This is another "depression drawing" and I hope nobody will be shocked or offended. (I apologize beforehand if that happens since I had no intention to shock or to offend). Drawing and painting did, for me, a lifesaving job during my mid-life crysis, really and I understood again and better what Graham Greene meant, in "Ways of Escape" when he wrote: "�Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or PAINT can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation.�

Congratulations on being featured in the Fine Art America Group "Images That Excite You!"

Ion, Congrats!!! Your Beautiful Work has been Featured On The Home Page of Weekly Fun
Ion vincent DAnu
Thank you, Rosy. It makes sense, no doubt, for me. Comments like yours and chance meetings like ours, in the ether, makes worthwhile all this work and time we put (sometimes with no monetary succes) in FAA or other sites like this. If I would not meet and see the works of exquisite artists like yourself and a few others ( that I would not cite for fear to forget some) all this work and time would be pointless...
Bob Orsillo
Very fine personal and emotional work Ion. We must create from both the heart and mind and constantly challenge ourselves to keep from going mad. At least that is what i think. Your friends that were shocked and are no longer friends. That is sad, I think good friends shocked or not would understand … but I am rambling, sorry. -- v/f
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
No, you're not, Bob! Thanks for the comment. At least you, Graham Greene and me we think alike! Sometimes friends aren't really friends...A little challenge from time to time puts friendship to test... C,est pas grave, as I say quite often...Doesn't matter...
Tyler Robbins
My goodness, Ion....there is tremendous talent on display here! this is such a beautiful and creative work of art....an immediate fav and vote...bravo...superb work!
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Making me blush, Tyler! I wish it would happen more often to be able to do that ( paint like this, I mean, even if I don't mind blushing either...) Thanks! It's a paradox: I lost a friend or two over this - really! they were shocked! I'm shocked they were shocked! - but I see the opposite is also valid! Thanks, again!
Sharon Burger
Ion, how am i missing your beautiful art. I look for it and don't see. I was so hungrey for a view I came to your gallery and found two recently posted, amazing pieces. This is so wonderfully creative.. V/F
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
I was missing you presence and your kind comments and your new, for me, paintings, too, Sharon! I had some doubts about posting this specific one since I don't want my friends shocked... But then I said to myself that the orange could compensate a bit the depression drawing...

De socat, m-a socat, dar in sensul bun al cuvantului....... Arta adevarata trbuie sa starnesca o reactie, nu sa confirme un orizont de asteptare..... si aceasta lucrare este arta, zic eu....... :)
ANA MARIA EDULESCU
Great depiction of the madness and the alienation of the world after the original sin...... Katharsis-ul, purificarea prin arta functioneaza, intr-adevar si pentru mine...... Ana
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Thanks, Ana! Da, ana si pentru mine a functionat si mai functioneaza! Lucrarea am facut-o repede si fara sa ma gandesc prea mult si ma bucur ca nu te-a socat fiindca am avut ceva amici care au interpretat-o gresit si au fost dezgustati ...Nu prea vad de ce dar tu esit filosof, eu, fost prof de istorie... Puteam s-o numesc si Sf. Gheorghe cu balaurul!
