La Cathédrale Engloutie (Arabesque 3) 1961

Editor: This is "La Cathédrale Engloutie (Arabesque 3)" by Ceri Richards. I get a slightly eerie, dreamlike feeling from it. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It reminds me of diving into a memory, the colours muted as if filtered through water. Perhaps a past love affair is symbolized by the blues. Do you feel that too? Editor: I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I see what you mean. It could be a little melancholic. Curator: Exactly! Richards had a way of transforming personal tragedy into powerful art. It makes you wonder about the narratives behind the colours. Editor: Definitely. It's incredible how much feeling can be conveyed through shapes and colours. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
