John Keats' Portraits and Exhibition Libby Hathorn

Commissioned #portrait great #poet #John #Keats for #australian #poet Libby Hathorn. #Keats claims "the #truth of imagination. What the imagination seizes as #Beauty must be truth" This bright #star still shines in an English literature after only 25 years #life on the earth.

#watercolour #painting #pencildrawing これは 詩人 Libby Hathorn に #依頼 された # ジョンキーツ #肖像画 です 彼は手紙の中で 言います "想像力の真実. 想像力が捉えて美しいものは 真実なんだ = 薄っぺらなまやかしなんかじゃない!" この素晴らしい輝ける星はわずか25歳で #結核 のためこの世を去りますが今も 英語の詩の中では 最も高く評価される #詩人 の一人です. この一連の作品を作るとき私は大変苦心して資料を集めました. というのは 直接の一番の資料が見たくて彼の生前の少しのスケッチとあとデスマスクを 研究しました. やはりリアリストですので 実際に人を見て書くのが一番ですから もちろん彼の言うように想像力 とそれが とら 捉える 美しさに かけてみました💖! #tuberculosis

    1. Thank you very much, Olga! Keats passed away at 25 years old. I worked hard to collect his images at a first hand. Your works are sweet. Best wishes, Sadami

  2. I imagine what a challenge it must be to do a portrait of someone you know only from pictures. You probably wished for a time machine to get a glimpse... Great job, Sadami!

    1. Thank u, Blaga! Yes, indeed, I examined the death masks and the directly sketched Keats (= all first hand info). Then, I worked on the portraits. I'll join the evening. The artists created works are on sale for fundraising, supporting UNESCO Children. Kind regards, Sadami
