Antonio Pessoa
After Midnight
Going out,wandering about downtown,walking around and maybe pay Louise Ragot a visit,always that dimlit place,Ragot's Art Deco looking den,of what once breathed like life and love,however now it's just a dimlit den of sorts. Delightful art clocks,Pop Art paintings and the old record player handsomely showcased in the solid wood and veneer cabinet.Fancy! At Ragot's there's always the chance of hearing the door bell ring and one of her After Midnight friends showing up for a free psychotherapy session. Urgent cognitive-behaviour techniques with the After Midnight intervention secret resources of Lady Ragot. Besides the Pop Art small size paintings of her art collection,five oils on canvas signed Antonio Pessoa,(A Pessoa!),among a carefully curated selection of elegantly framed Nude Art photography. It's the new city,the Now town,the After Midnight twilight zone,the time of the eternal open relationships,the kinky preferences network,tasteful mysterious moves,and "professional" lifestyle...bizarre and sometimes even stimulating! Oh my God,the artist told me,that night at 5:30 a.m. he stumbled upon Nadine,a silent night angel,blonde and freezing and dressed to kill.Smashing!She didn't have much to say,so he told me with that peculiar smile on his face.She was like three personalities in one or at least he thought so or maybe that's what she pretended,in a silent ultimate effort to make him believe that behind the apparently dull looking doll there might as well be the inner special one.Give me a break! Furthermore the four things she told him she liked actually sounded absolutely unspeakable.So what?What did he expect? After Midnight,the weird designed ride!When yoy think you actually can do whatever you want...I suppose something the artist always wanted to believe was true. And then,what?The Chinese Restaurant! Pessoa goes in,there's nobody in the big exotic room but the cook...it's almost 6 a.m. and he tells him "Too late,we close,no,we no see girl of yours,no more ask please..." Another bar,and he told me later what had just crossed his mind.True love!Sometimes you know it the instant you see it across the bar.However,and I truly believe him,there was no one there but the same old bald wrinkled bartender. Really amazing,inspiring awesome surrealism. After all,it seems After Midnight's twilight zone can set his imagination free.Blind faith,I told him,because thinking is hard.However,the artist was already aware of it... Time goes by. So here comes the night,here comes the night once again,the After Midnight express entering the Twilight Zone one more time. Tonight ( must be Wednesday,Thursday...or even Friday...who cares...),James Babel,one of the artist's regular art dealers is off to Madrid with no paintings in and no joy,Boris Dainville is breaking no news from London town and Louise Ragot is nowhere to be seen,let alone reached. Antonio Pessoa tells me over the phone about his "nerve-shattering" negotiations (in a manner of speaking ) with Maxwell Armstrong and Sylvia Abbot. He tells me sometimes he feels he would be better off living in the tropical Canary Islands for good,after telling the whole godforsaken art business to get lost. I know he is just overreacting ,he says it but doesn't mean it...or at least deep down inside I still don't believe he has reached that point of absolute detachment to actually say goodbye,so long,I've had it,that dit it and flip-flop and fly away. He tells me yesterday night he didn't feel like going off to bed,so he went out for another After Midnight real-life explorer delicious Let's- see-what-Happens ride on his own. After a while driving around he goes to the Meditation Center,managed by Bala Mani,an indian art collector,a wealthy prematurely retired businessman from New Delhi who decided to spend the rest of his life providing others with the wisdom and knowledge of Universal Awareness and Silent Meditation. One of the After Midnight available spots the artist loves the most. Open twenty four hours a day,it provides emotional-support for anyone willing to experience the mindfullness well-being with the powerful inspiring easy-to-do methods of deep spiritual relaxation and cosmic insight. Martin Faber introduces Bala Mani to the artist back in 2004,during his second art show in Chicago,IL.However only in the past two years Antonio Pessoa becomes seriously involved and emotionally ready and motivated to fully commit himself to the wonderful universe of inner-self discovery through meditation daily sessions and self-disciplined rituals. Bala Mani also becomes one of the artist's regular clients,acquiring on a monthly basis a significant amount of his latest New Era contemporary artworks,furthermore coming up with the concept Timeless Time,which indeed turned out to become the title of Pessoa's most recent art productions. Antonio Pessoa reaches his Universal Awareness inner-self discovery, Supreme Meditation interest,passion and commitment apotheosis,thereby giving birth to amazing contemporary fine art wonders such as "Night Gospel", "Living Joy" , "The Belief Generator" , "Spiritual Light " , "Free" , "Night Wits " , "Intuition " , "Mind Explorer ", "Perception "...just to mention a few. It makes perfect sense the obvious association of Bala Mani with the artist's subject mutation,definitely for much better,very particularly in visual abstract neo-surrealistic quality. In spite of the fact that After Midnight doesn't substantially belong to the fine art series of Spiritual Enlightenment - oriented Oeuvre,yet,it is nevertheless inspired by a similar persistent response at this highly emotional relation with life...or in this particular painting...with nightlife metamorphic sensorial metaphysics,definitely the role of a wandering poet across the perceptive mystery of the night time city outdoors. It's Saturday Night,the Queen of nightlife,and tonight I keep the artist company,while we talk about his latest artworks. Actually,I have little interest in the After Midnight scene,but my main motivation is to be as much as possible with the artist,my friend and my work's leading role actor. Being thirty two years older than him doesn't seem to be important.It never did and it never will.On the contrary,our chemistry is incresingly reaching perfection. We have some chinese for starters,that same exotic restaurant downtown,at a specific time when we are the only "innocent bystanders",enjoying our privacy and talking mainly about art and life.In the mean time we both seem to be making the most of the great cuisine selection randomly displayed all over the round table. Spring rolls,Shu Mai dumplings with pork ans shrimp,Egg Custard tarts,Chicken Chop Suey,Zodiac noodles,Won Ton soup,Har Gau...Wow!!!! It seems that the restaurant's owner whole family (but the cook...) are starring at us from the far end of the insence smelling exoctic temple.They don't laugh,they don't smile,they don't talk...just standing still starring at us with this blank,emotionless expression on their marble skin faces.Fair enough.I love the Oriental way,so does Pessoa. Antonio Pessoa is definitely a different man after midnight hour.In my opinion the city's nightlife provides him with an alternate outlook of existence metaphysics.More non-material,rather sensual,abandonely relaxed,almost deliciously blue-mooded in his glamorous lonesome way.A peculiar contrast but true.

António Pessoa - expo
Suites Alba Resort

António Pessoa Primavera e Verão Parece que afinal de contas o artista consegue fazer prevalecer a sua vontade,dando-se a conhecer um pouco mais no seu próprio país. Pois,vejamos se para a pintura tem demonstrado ter engenho e arte para dar e vender,faltava tirar a prova dos nove,se ainda assim António Pessoa conseguia convencer Vicente Fernández Lago,a decidir-se finalmente a divulgar de uma forma mais adequada,a sua obra em terras lusas. O Sr.Fernández Lago,apesar da fama que tem de ser um homem teimoso e muito fiel aos seus caprichos,no que se refere a António Pessoa felizmente sempre parece fazer uma pausa na sua obstinada natureza,concedendo ao artista,por respeito,por hábito e também às vezes até por distração,essa cedência por influência de uma simpatia moral e vamos lá vêr,até mesmo pragmática. E o resultado começa a estar à vista com três "long play"exposições simultâneas e outras que tantas já programadas para esta temporada de Primavera-Verão na bela Galiza. António Pessoa precocemente reformado,que é como quem diz,como se sabe,porém pelo menos na sua atitude e modelo de vida dá visiveis sinais de estar bem onde está, restringindo o seu circulo de amigos intimos ao minimo imprescindivel e desta forma preservando uma certa qualidade social,que não só o inspira e o enriquece espiritualmente,como o vai por assim dizer protegendo de más influências e de interferências negativas. Intrinsecamente desinteressado por questões mundanas como fama,dinheiro,compromissos sociais cerimoniosos e acima de tudo cada vez mais insensível ao ritmo estupefaciente das grandes urbes,Home Studio-Antonio Pessoa reveste- se cada vez mais de uma atmosfera de trabalho plástico,silêncio e pensamento,estudo,análise politica e social,invenção,lazer e contemplação. Esta exposição patente ao público todos os meses de Primavera e Verão adapata-se bastante ao critério estético e até climático de António Pessoa,artista bastante habituado à atmosfera da Dolce Vita do sul da Peninsula desde a sua adolescência,apesar de ter vivido seis anos entre Londres e Amsterdam. Ainda que Worlwide seja um projecto que lhe vai exigir ceder e abdicar do conforto semi- tropical no qual se encontra como um peixe dentro de água,para enfrentar-se à turbulência de cidades como Nova Iorque,Chicago,Los Angeles,Dallas e até mesmo em sua casa,Barcelona,facto que verdade seja dita para o artista consiste muito mais em sofrimento do que em prazer,António Pessoa faz o sacrificio e toma inteiramente a responsabilidade perante si mesmo e naturalmente perante os muitos colaboradores que dependem e vivem exclusivamente do e para o projecto. Obviamente ainda sem certezas concretas é contudo muito possivel que o pintor português venha durante estes meses de Primavera e Verão a marcar algumas vezes presença neste paraiso algarvio,obviamente dependendo também da sua voluminosa agenda. Tendo sido sempre a sua região favorita em Portugal,onde o artista já viveu e passou longas temporadas desde a sua adolescência,o Algarve continua a provocar-lhe essa sensação de bem- estar e êxtase o que muito provavelmente pode significar que de facto apareça por aí,quanto mais não seja para dar um ar da sua graça. Sém dúvida que vale a pena se a alma não é pequena,pegar na familia,meter-se no Popó e vir até cá aos belos Algarves,claro está no Carvoeiro, Suites Alba Resort & Spa,em jeito de férias e naturalmente com os sentidos apurados para visualizar uma das colecções hoje em dia,mais representativas das artes plásticas portuguesas.

Sala Panaderas - Antonio Pessoa
http://www.galeria-arte.es/antonio-pessoa/2-30-2-30.htm
Sala Panaderas in La Coruña,northern Spain,seems to have adopted one of the most promising artists of the international art scene right now,Antonio Pessoa,showing some of his best series of the worlwide known Romantic Period.
A very wise choice unquestionably,considering the place and the time when this actually happens.
Together with some of the most interesting emerging artists from Galaecia,Pessoa returns to this wonderful region of Spain and in one of its largest cities,La Coruña.This could be the very beginning of a close and expanding partnership,between the artist and Sala Panaderas,in order to give worldwide voice to a culture and a region yet not so much known among europeans and the United States art lovers and art collectors.
Looking through the windows of Sala Panaderas front door,we immediately become aware of Pessoa's unmistakable style,the very remarkable stamp of his Romantic Period excellent productions.
On a short term this could turn out to be a brilliant and bombastic opportunity and possibility just to break on through to the other side,for them both Sala Panaderas and artist Antonio Pessoa.
Precisely just about now when Pessoa is getting ready to take off for the New York art adventure,it's good to find out that an important piece of his most amazing and striking working periods remains in the wise hands of an art gallery which seems to know its way around today's competitive segments of the global art market,despite the fact of Sala Panaderas local environment out and about on-going expanding art vision.
Specifically in a region of Europe far from being among the art merchandise leaders,Sala Panaderas swings about obviously with the connoisseur operating knowledge,intuition,wisdom and savoir-faire,managing artistic combinations,style schemes and recipes plus with the punctual layout of elegant and snappy informed conduct aiming and focusing on a relevant qualified performance of a label,product,artists and artworks,providing local art collectors with the comprehensive taste and flavour of quality. Focusing on essential techniques,so it seems,Sala Panaderas or galeria-arte,presents us with a stimulating improvement and Know-How,stepping further ahead and definitely not far from actually taking the leadership of northern Spain's art market monopoly stage.
Antonio Pessoa's career,unpredictable has it has always been,leaves us a whole lot of open field to imagine,dream and speculate,however when it comes a time when an artist reaches the point of public under falling burning acceptance and admiration,the synonyms of all these undeniable facts leaves us no much more ground to consider let alone doubt.
Pessoa's systematic working method in order to make this wonderful project available to the world is already conceiving interesting results to say the least.
Therefore,Sala Panaderas galeria-art,sure deserves our most excited and cheerful applause,definitely our infinite respect for the outstanding enthusiastic passion for your artists plus all upcoming new initiatives in order to expand what is already beginning to look like an impressive and great teaching of art gallery management.
As for Antonio Pessoa and Sala Panaderas we are truly lucky to have you both in the recognition club and surely in the spotlight of the international contemporary art scene!

Antonio Pessoa
The NEW ERA
Picture yourself in a brand-new dimension of Art expression and next thing you know you are experiencing a new sensation of freedom and the feeling that after all contemporary Art remains alive to an extent far beyond what you probably might have been expecting.
Picture yourself getting rid of the same old art concepts even the so called contemporary,for all that matters,and therefore entering a new universe of world wide communication where you can be involved as a viewer,as a critic and even as an artist.
You may wonder how come is that possible?
Simply because Antonio Pessoa is indeed a whole lot more than just the average artist,he is a genuine born to be a communicator,relating Art directly to people right in the act as a power of nature led by a natural mission wich opens the doors and through Art discloses directly the hidden secrets of life,love,energy,positive thinking and more than contemporary Art a new perspective of contemporary attitude.
The NEW ERA is atributed to Antonio Pessoa just as cubism to Picasso.The studio wizard is back online like Phoenix from the ashes.
No more heroes required,Antonio Pessoa is just a man not a God,nevertheless his macro energy,talent,heart and soul,turn out to be the perfect combination right at the start of the new century.
A NEW ERA of Art expression is born and long live modern Art with Antonio Pessoa's contribution and his voluntary act of giving in common with others for the common purpose of contemporary Art enhancement developmental endeavour.
There's no doubt that Antonio Pessoa's New Era is here to stay.It's well known that the artist's tradition and reputation translates a solid as a rock reliability wich keeps on providing us with the undeniable reassurance that once he commits himself to a specific convincing belief he hardly is ever going to give it up or give in.
And that's about as far as we need to go.
So Art lovers , all you have to do is let your emotions flow as Antonio Pessoa's New Era artworks keep on coming,showing us the Art side of reality,with the impact touch wich only he knows how to handle with the unmistakable skillfulness of his exceptional creative ability,dazzling unusual and unique,the model of contemporary Art communication at his very best apotheosis level of invention and high quality.
The general anatomy of Antonio Pessoa's New Era artworks is of total abstract meteoritical symbols,a babylonian of colors and shapes macroevolution leading us to amazing suggestions of how our feelings and emotions can actually drift away for a long voyage a waggish day dreaming experience that only Art has made possible up to now.
If ever there is any particular message behind the cosmogenical surface of the New Era's artworks,very likely is for the artist to know and for us to find out.That's indeed the stimulating thrill of writing Art with underlines.Despite this artistic classified information,undoubtedly kept in secret on purpose,communication is flowing out in the open more than enough or at least just enough to keep the viewer in the privileged state of fascinating discovery.
A friend of mine roughly one year ago came up with a quite interesting quotation.He said " Writing about Art is the same as painting about Music ". That kept me wondering for a few days,fortunately I gave it a second thought and there I was concluding that maybe painting while writing about Art was probably the next option to take.
One way or another,fact is that on the whole I've always been more concerned about Antonio Pessoa's life,the artist and the man,than specifically,shall we say,preoccupied about going on prattling putting down in words what is visually so much enough obvious as mysterious.And that's definitely the wonderful thrill of contemplating visual arts.
So therefore as far as Antonio Pessoa's New Era is concerned I see myself rather playing the role of the biographer than just the art critic very often obsessively displaying titanic literary criticism oriented pages in the time wasting struggle of searching for square definitions related to something such as Art where obviously rigidly accurate analytical sequences have absolutely nothing to do with what's at stake.
Antonio Pessoa's New Era can easily manage to survive without the need of long speeches about the issue.On the other hand Antonio Pessoa's life and work has got indeed much more than enough amazing and truly interesting real time,direct action,real life,living Art content as to actually provide adequate ground to be put down in words.
Art interpretation concept therefore makes the artist's biographical zone if not compulsory , at least worthy of acceptance in order to digest a far more clear understanding of what it's all about.
Specifically what particularly concerns Antonio Pessoa's New Era,now here we have a true stimulating and complex challenge to face,to take and definitely to enjoy.
Standing before the idea of this new project of Antonio Pessoa,is just about enough to give us the breathtaking hope that indeed something unexpectedly new in the contemporary Art scene is about to happen.Fact is it already did.
So let the child grow,make it asap Antonio,for all of us who have been following your career so far,we all believe it's going to turn out to be one more time into an action art performance wich certainly is going to keep us together more than ever focusing our attention span into your Art vision today.
Art lovers and Art collectors sure need something fresh and new to lean on and that's where Antonio Pessoa's New Era comes in,full of color and grace,gentle and sentimental,elegantly glamourous and powerfully avant-gardish wich now that we come to think of it verdict is that it turns out to be a formula far beyond the so called contemporary fashion average,straight towards the perfect combination of what progressive neo-futurism indeed should be.
A true Art studio veteran coming back live and alive dressed up as a talented gifted absolute beginner,much more than a daring act of courage,is hereupon the herald shouting the arrival of the new century's mirror,the magical mirror wich only Art can provide,wich only Art can afford just by translating the contradictory elements of nature into the compact beauty wich only Art can accomplish.
Art lovers and Art collectors,make room and make way,let us all allow Antonio Pessoa's New Era to become what it's meant to be.A brave new world of communication,intention,sensation,emotion,invention and expression.
Submiting a new concept to the world has always been a risky process,a labyrinth of options and alternative B plans,pertaining to unconventional choices between mutually exclusive possibilities.Once the petrification of the same old formulas becomes totally out of question,then there's no way back whatsoever and the two options left are either suicide or glory.And that's as romantic as I can afford to be when sharing and facing the artist's dilemma of to be real or not to be.
The Art magician one day wakes up just to find out and so honestly admit to himself that despite his multiple tricks somehow still manage to keep the audience in a suspense breathtaking nail-biting tension,fact is that suddenly his tricks don't mean anything to him anymore.
And that sometimes can actually be the very beginning of a new period,if there's still the burning fire in the artist's heart and soul.
Antonio Pessoa's New Era is the perfect example of a heart and soul,where dancing flames seem to flip-flop and fly through clouds and clouds of multicolored smoke and as when there is smoke there is fire,there is an artist who has just made up his mind determined to make sure the show must go on and this time now more eager than ever to step on the stage and turn the audience into an orgasmic crowd.
Better said than done,some might claim,although while in so doing,very likely the artist is already at work and while some skepticals bystanders doubt it,very probably Antonio Pessoa's New Era might as well be by then taking off,flying and landing at the airport of recognition to receive the open arms welcome of the erudite ones who have the privilege of understanding an artistic phenomenon when they see one.
The NEW ERA
Picture yourself in a brand-new dimension of Art expression and next thing you know you are experiencing a new sensation of freedom and the feeling that after all contemporary Art remains alive to an extent far beyond what you probably might have been expecting.
Picture yourself getting rid of the same old art concepts even the so called contemporary,for all that matters,and therefore entering a new universe of world wide communication where you can be involved as a viewer,as a critic and even as an artist.
You may wonder how come is that possible?
Simply because Antonio Pessoa is indeed a whole lot more than just the average artist,he is a genuine born to be a communicator,relating Art directly to people right in the act as a power of nature led by a natural mission wich opens the doors and through Art discloses directly the hidden secrets of life,love,energy,positive thinking and more than contemporary Art a new perspective of contemporary attitude.
The NEW ERA is atributed to Antonio Pessoa just as cubism to Picasso.The studio wizard is back online like Phoenix from the ashes.
No more heroes required,Antonio Pessoa is just a man not a God,nevertheless his macro energy,talent,heart and soul,turn out to be the perfect combination right at the start of the new century.
A NEW ERA of Art expression is born and long live modern Art with Antonio Pessoa's contribution and his voluntary act of giving in common with others for the common purpose of contemporary Art enhancement developmental endeavour.
There's no doubt that Antonio Pessoa's New Era is here to stay.It's well known that the artist's tradition and reputation translates a solid as a rock reliability wich keeps on providing us with the undeniable reassurance that once he commits himself to a specific convincing belief he hardly is ever going to give it up or give in.
And that's about as far as we need to go.
So Art lovers , all you have to do is let your emotions flow as Antonio Pessoa's New Era artworks keep on coming,showing us the Art side of reality,with the impact touch wich only he knows how to handle with the unmistakable skillfulness of his exceptional creative ability,dazzling unusual and unique,the model of contemporary Art communication at his very best apotheosis level of invention and high quality.
The general anatomy of Antonio Pessoa's New Era artworks is of total abstract meteoritical symbols,a babylonian of colors and shapes macroevolution leading us to amazing suggestions of how our feelings and emotions can actually drift away for a long voyage a waggish day dreaming experience that only Art has made possible up to now.
If ever there is any particular message behind the cosmogenical surface of the New Era's artworks,very likely is for the artist to know and for us to find out.That's indeed the stimulating thrill of writing Art with underlines.Despite this artistic classified information,undoubtedly kept in secret on purpose,communication is flowing out in the open more than enough or at least just enough to keep the viewer in the privileged state of fascinating discovery.
A friend of mine roughly one year ago came up with a quite interesting quotation.He said " Writing about Art is the same as painting about Music ". That kept me wondering for a few days,fortunately I gave it a second thought and there I was concluding that maybe painting while writing about Art was probably the next option to take.
One way or another,fact is that on the whole I've always been more concerned about Antonio Pessoa's life,the artist and the man,than specifically,shall we say,preoccupied about going on prattling putting down in words what is visually so much enough obvious as mysterious.And that's definitely the wonderful thrill of contemplating visual arts.
So therefore as far as Antonio Pessoa's New Era is concerned I see myself rather playing the role of the biographer than just the art critic very often obsessively displaying titanic literary criticism oriented pages in the time wasting struggle of searching for square definitions related to something such as Art where obviously rigidly accurate analytical sequences have absolutely nothing to do with what's at stake.
Antonio Pessoa's New Era can easily manage to survive without the need of long speeches about the issue.On the other hand Antonio Pessoa's life and work has got indeed much more than enough amazing and truly interesting real time,direct action,real life,living Art content as to actually provide adequate ground to be put down in words.
Art interpretation concept therefore makes the artist's biographical zone if not compulsory , at least worthy of acceptance in order to digest a far more clear understanding of what it's all about.
Specifically what particularly concerns Antonio Pessoa's New Era,now here we have a true stimulating and complex challenge to face,to take and definitely to enjoy.
Standing before the idea of this new project of Antonio Pessoa,is just about enough to give us the breathtaking hope that indeed something unexpectedly new in the contemporary Art scene is about to happen.Fact is it already did.
So let the child grow,make it asap Antonio,for all of us who have been following your career so far,we all believe it's going to turn out to be one more time into an action art performance wich certainly is going to keep us together more than ever focusing our attention span into your Art vision today.
Art lovers and Art collectors sure need something fresh and new to lean on and that's where Antonio Pessoa's New Era comes in,full of color and grace,gentle and sentimental,elegantly glamourous and powerfully avant-gardish wich now that we come to think of it verdict is that it turns out to be a formula far beyond the so called contemporary fashion average,straight towards the perfect combination of what progressive neo-futurism indeed should be.
A true Art studio veteran coming back live and alive dressed up as a talented gifted absolute beginner,much more than a daring act of courage,is hereupon the herald shouting the arrival of the new century's mirror,the magical mirror wich only Art can provide,wich only Art can afford just by translating the contradictory elements of nature into the compact beauty wich only Art can accomplish.
Art lovers and Art collectors,make room and make way,let us all allow Antonio Pessoa's New Era to become what it's meant to be.A brave new world of communication,intention,sensation,emotion,invention and expression.
Submiting a new concept to the world has always been a risky process,a labyrinth of options and alternative B plans,pertaining to unconventional choices between mutually exclusive possibilities.Once the petrification of the same old formulas becomes totally out of question,then there's no way back whatsoever and the two options left are either suicide or glory.And that's as romantic as I can afford to be when sharing and facing the artist's dilemma of to be real or not to be.
The Art magician one day wakes up just to find out and so honestly admit to himself that despite his multiple tricks somehow still manage to keep the audience in a suspense breathtaking nail-biting tension,fact is that suddenly his tricks don't mean anything to him anymore.
And that sometimes can actually be the very beginning of a new period,if there's still the burning fire in the artist's heart and soul.
Antonio Pessoa's New Era is the perfect example of a heart and soul,where dancing flames seem to flip-flop and fly through clouds and clouds of multicolored smoke and as when there is smoke there is fire,there is an artist who has just made up his mind determined to make sure the show must go on and this time now more eager than ever to step on the stage and turn the audience into an orgasmic crowd.
Better said than done,some might claim,although while in so doing,very likely the artist is already at work and while some skepticals bystanders doubt it,very probably Antonio Pessoa's New Era might as well be by then taking off,flying and landing at the airport of recognition to receive the open arms welcome of the erudite ones who have the privilege of understanding an artistic phenomenon when they see one.
