Increate Light - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

As with all Eric Rhode's work, we are taken on a fast-moving journey where previous travellers have left few footprints. These are faint, and soon dissolve. Accompanying us are passions, intellectual and emotional curiosity and rigour, and a never-ending courage to seek out the truth of the matter. In Doktor Glas, Hjalmar Soderberg tells us that the relevance of the truth (like the sun) is in relation to our distance from it. Seeking the Light, and the vibrant darkness beyond, involves danger to all. On facing the unpleasant truth of the likelihood of going blind at the age of 31, I longed to see a copy of Kandinsky's 'Light Picture' (1913), since it was unlikely that I would be able ever to see the original. The stunning beauty of the frail object in translucent yellow depicted, outlined faintly, showed many holes and gashes going beyond the surface, as Kandinsky has intended I imagined. Mercifully, there was also evidence of attempts at repair. This is a journey without an end.
