He had been slaving over the canvass for years unable to touch it with light or surprise. He wanted to fully capture the nature of water with its endless angles of possibility. Paris in 1880 surrounded, its fine point a perfect explanation of life. One day he decided, in a moment of madness, that the only way to truly capture the nature of water was to drown himself. Afterwards, his completely white canvas was displayed at the Salon De Paris. It reminded all who saw it, of a life preserver in its pale, sun stroked interlude. This caused everyone to cry.
Congratulations on winning. Well deserved. This is another original, great piece! I love the idea that he finally captured the nature of water by making people cry because his painting reminded them of a life preserver and how that ties in with him drowning! Brilliant!
Thank you.
