@ Concert: «I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity
of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful
mirage, like the despi.cable fabrication
of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidean mind
of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment
of eternal harmony,
something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting
of all resentments, for the atonement
of all the crimes
of humanity, for all the blood that they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened.»
The stripes and notches
of the Copper and Aluminum works conspire to create relief - like
mirages of projecting and receding planes,
something the proponents
of absolute flatness in painting — who relied on Stella as a touchstone — certainly did not have in mind.
