La Turbie 1973

Editor: This is Julian Trevelyan's "La Turbie," a striking print from the Tate. It feels like a memory, a classical ruin struggling against the darkness. What do you make of it? Curator: It's an interesting contrast, isn't it? Trevelyan's etched lines give it a whimsical, almost dreamlike quality, a far cry from the monument's intended grandeur. The darkness pressing in could represent time, decay, or perhaps even a commentary on the impermanence of empires. Editor: So it's not just a pretty picture? Curator: Oh, never! Trevelyan's work often dances between reality and imagination. He invites us to ponder the layers of history and how we choose to remember the past. Editor: I see. It's like the monument is haunted by its own history, thanks to Trevelyan. Curator: Precisely! And the beauty lies in that haunting.
