Ｂasquiat と Ｍａｙａ Angelo
こんにちは！日下部です。
まだ9月だというのに、昨晩から寒くて寒くて、今日は「毛糸のパンツ」「山用靴下」を着用中です（笑）
そろそろ明日は衣更え、そして冬支度開始か？
寒いときにはもってこいの、「読書」。 ｛読書の秋｝
部屋の隅っこにクッションとコーヒーとひざ掛け、
そして「Radiant Child :The story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat」
The story tells of Basquiat’s connection to art and his journey towards becoming an artist. The book begins with Basquiat’s childhood in Brooklyn where he notices art all around him and enjoys its creation. It tells of his connection to his mother who leaves the home due to mental illness. As a teen Basquiat moves to the Lower East Side and begins as a street artist before moving into galleries. By the end of the book he has become a successful professional artist.
そして、Ｂａｓｑｕｉａｔで、もう一点、
Ｍａｙａ Ａｎｇｅｌｏｕ の詩とＢａｓquiat の絵
「Ｌｉｆｅ Ｄｏｅｓｎ‘ｔ Ｆｒｉｇｈｔｅｎ Ｍｅ」
Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
Bad dogs barking loud
Big ghosts in a cloud
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
Mean old Mother Goose
Lions on the loose
They don’t frighten me at all
Dragons breathing flame
On my counterpane
That doesn’t frighten me at all.
I go boo
Make them shoo
I make fun
Way they run
I won’t cry
So they fly
I just smile
They go wild
Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
Tough guys fight
All alone at night
Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
Panthers in the park
Strangers in the dark
No, they don’t frighten me at all.
That new classroom where
Boys all pull my hair
(Kissy little girls
With their hair in curls)
They don’t frighten me at all.
Don’t show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If I’m afraid at all
It’s only in my dreams.
I’ve got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve
I can walk the ocean floor
And never have to breathe.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
Not at all
Not at all.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
