Theme

Lauri Viita´s poem "L´art pour l´art"
translated by me

I made a paint
poor me
fainted in my taint.
"Grounds and theme!"
they jerked.
What a theme
I bluffed?
Ther´s a paint ´nd brush
without the fee.

Taulun tein
vaatteet möin.
Aihe, aihe!
Vain ne urkki.
Mikä aihe
hämmästyin?
suti on - ja purkki.

Shall this be my humble tribute to all those artists, which have died for their...lack or poverty:
"Remember, if you still hear me,
there will always be some kids
who grow up to love your work."

Lucio Fontana´s (1899-1968)
"Concetto Spaziale" (1964) in Sara Hilden Art Museum in Tampere in Finland
