Motion emotion
homage to Madonna images
from The Madonna and child by Massacio (1426 ) to Madonna and child by Luca the Evangelist ( picture chosen by Matteo Ricci to bring to China )
from these Madonna images to faces seen in Hong Kong films ( The Happy Bride by Chan Man in 1963)
moments of drama
distilled
Ageless expressions of human sufferings
from Madonna of DUCCIO (1290-1300 ) to Madonna image of Princess Cheung Ping in Ming dynasty, depicted in the film directed by Lung To and Cho Kei (1959)
impressive is the gesture of Duccio's picture, with Christ child unveiling the face of the Madonna ...perhaps , the story of motion picture actually begins at this moment?
years later, in the Ming Dynasty, as described by the lyrics of the theme song , the unveiling of a beautiful bride is actually the moment of selfless sacrifice
emotional images
found in motion pictures
thanks to technology which allowed me to stop and ponder
stop and mediate
with brushes, old and new pigments
after impactful images of Madonnas
seen in some beloved Italian paintings and
Hong Kong motion pictures and Chinese operas
Thank you
Bernadette
