Chapter 3: How To Hijack Dates

Sometimes you stop procrastinating when stuck in lockdown.

Sometimes you don't.

This is a result of the former.

Read it here on ao3. 

...

Sirius Black had just spent a lovely afternoon with Mum Potter, helping her rearrange the books in the library downstairs. It could have been done easily with magic, or the many house elves that offered to help again and again, but Euphemia Potter was very possessive about this part of the Manor. She liked doing it by hand, putting the books back into their designated spot alphabetically by author name and loved finding old gems that she told Sirius very enthusiastically about. Mum Potter (yes, she insisted he call her Mum Potter for the very least) had put together a pile of books that she wanted to read for herself, and another for Sirius, declaring that a young wizard ought to read these books by the time they come of age. Sirius was now balancing a huge stack of books and taking them into his room when he saw James’ room door wide open and he peeked in. James was smoothening out a crisp black shirt, looking nervously at himself in the floor length mirror. Sirius’ curiosity piqued. 

  "Going somewhere?” He called out from the entrance of the room. James instantly turned around. He looked like he was about to throw up. "Do I look okay?" 

"Yeah?” Sirius offered, from somewhere above the pile of books. 

  "Okay, good.” Looking somewhat satisfied, he turned around and picked up a black dinner jacket and shrugged it on. 

"Where?” 

  "Emily's taking me out.” James said, now running a hand through his messy black curls, trying to tame them. 

  "Out?” 

  "Yeah, we're going to a fancy Muggle restaurant, somewhere in Leicester Square, I think. One of her favorites." 

"James..” Sirius started, but wasn’t sure how to approach the subject again. James picked on it, nevertheless. 

"I'm not having that conversation again, Sirius.” He said, with a deep sigh. 

  “You've gone on 3 dates in 2 months. If you don't slow down, you might end up surrounded by dirty diapers in a matter of weeks, James.” Sirius joked. 

  "Sirius.." 

"Yes, but I am serious James. You don't know each other that well.." 

"Sirius.." 

"You don't fit well together, you know..” Sirius offered again, but to be honest, he didn’t really have any reason why James should not be with Emily. Aside from the fact that Lily now finally fancied him. But he couldn’t tell him that. It was not his place. 

  "Sirius! I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend today.” James said, looking at him dead in the eye. 

  "..wha..what?” 

  "You heard me." 

"But what about Lily?” 

  "What about Lily? I've moved on." 

"But James-" 

"No, Sirius. I'm done. I told you that." James looked at him sincerely, and Sirius knew the conversation was over. James patted Sirius once on his shoulder as he walked out the door. "I'll see you later, buddy." 

...

Sirius stared at James walking away with wide eyes, unsure what to say or do, and walked the few steps to his room, plopping the books on his table. It was a guest bedroom originally, but was now officially Sirius'. His study table was mostly bare, on account of summer holidays, but he had pinned some pictures on the wall above. One in particular, was among his favourites, hung right in the middle. 

  It was the day Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup just a few months ago after a brutal match with Slytherin. They had just landed on the pitch when the entirety of Gryffindor piled onto the grounds, cheering and hug and congratulating the players. In the midst of all that chaos and confetti and blaring music in the background, someone had picked up a camera and shouted “Smile!" and all the people just piled on top of each other to be in the frame. Hair completely disheveled, mud and paint caking their faces, but the moving picture was so precious for Sirius. 

  There was Peter and Remus already on the ground laughing, with Sirius and Marlene and Dorcas and Alice and Frank cheering and swaying, almost falling over the former, trying to balance themselves as they held on to each other. Then there was James in the end, with this broken glasses, splotches of blood on his forehead and a shit eating grin looking at Lily, who was laughing and blushing looking back at him. 

  To Sirius, that one picture was enough to know that they belonged with each other. And he decided, that he would at least TRY for his foolish best mate and the fiery red head that had become a part of the marauder family. Sirius knocked on the faded green colored door, hoping he finally found the right house. He had already spent a good half an hour stumbling from house to house, finding everyone from grumpy old couples who did not liked to be disturbed to little kids who almost trampled him in an attempt to play. He then realised he apparated in the wrong neighbourhood. 

  For Merlin’s sake! This is exactly the reason he didn't fancy this method of travel; he screwed up almost every damn time. It was miracle in itself that he got the license at all, courtesy of an ignorant old Ministry employee who didn't seem to give two fucks about how he apparated a few feet from where he was supposed to and splinched his pinkie in the process. 

A woman with fading red hair tucked neatly in a bun opened the door and Sirius nearly hugged the woman in relief. He knew that red hair very well. 

  "Can I help you, dear?” Mrs. Evans asked sweetly and looked at him, confused at his relief. 

  “Hello, Mrs. Evans. I'm looking for Lily.” 

  “Oh”, She turned around, possibly to call for her daughter, but stopped short. “You must be.. uhh..” She trailed, guessing his name. 

  "Sirius Black. We're in the same house at Hogwarts.” He replied, and she suddenly lit up at the name. Lily had clearly told her mum about him. 

  "Nice to meet you, Sirius. I'm Darla. Come on in.” She extended a hand, and he returned the greeting, and she invited him in. 

  Sirius was immediately hit by the pleasant smell of Eucalyptus and hints of Lavender as he entered the house. It was a quaint, cozy little place, and it was so Lily that now, he could not imagine Lily Evans living anywhere else. 

"Lily! There's someone here for you!” Darla Evans called in the general direction of the stairs. 

  A moment later, there was some shuffling, a door opening then clanking down the stairs as Lily Evans appeared in her full glory, decked in a tshirt that said “Not Today" and blue pyjama bottoms. Sirius could see tiny red hearts on them. She looked shocked, to say the very least. "Black? What are you doing here?” She said as she continued down the stairs and stood directly infront of him. "Good to see you too, Lils.” Sirius said, giving a full smile. 

  She completely ignored him. "Why are you here?” She pressed. 

  "I need to talk to you." Lily frowned, looking skeptical. "It's about James.” He added and the furrow between her eyebrows was gone in an instant, followed by what Sirius thought was either concern or.. Or something. She definitely blushed a little though. 

  Lily nodded and motioned him to follow her. It's funny how that one name turned around Lily Evans’ priorities now. 

  Sirius followed her upstairs, past a couple of doors to one that had Lily written on the door, the  four letters in different fonts cut out from newspaper. She closed the door behind them, turned around and stared at him. 

  "Talk.” Sirius was surprised at the authority and urgency in her voice. 

  "You've got a cute room there, Evans. Didn't peg you for pink walls kind of a girl but..” Sirius said instead, walking around her room and taking it in. It was a small room, overlooking the front yard, with green curtains. The wall behind her bed was completely covered up by photos, print outs, clippings. Everything Lily Evans held dear in her life. He could spy the same picture he had pinned above his study on the wall as well, along with countless others. It made Sirius smile internally. He always did love the idea of having a wall like this. An ode to all the good times. 

  "Six year old me liked pink. Now, tell me what is it?” She pressed, hands crossed. 

  "Okay, but promise not to freak out, okay?” Sirius started in a soothing voice already, his hands feigning a calm down gesture already. 

  Lily waved her hand in front of her. "I can't promise that.” She said, as a matter-of-fact, without even pausing for a beat. 

  "Okay, okay but don't hex me?” He asked, nervously. Lily nodded, reluctantly. "James is planning to ask Emily to be his girlfriend..” He blurted out, almost stumbling over the words. 

"Thanks for the reminder but you already told me that.” Lily gave a small smile, crossed the room and sat on her bed. She didn’t look at him, instead stared at her shoes. 

  “..tonight.” He finished, and her face shot up. Lily's face paled. Shock and disbelief coloured her face, which quickly turned solemn. 

"Alright.. okay.. that's good? That's good, right?” She tried, stumbling over her words. She looked visibly dejected. "I mean.. he's.. moved on. He wouldn't sit around waiting for me, you know?” Classic Lily, trying to reason everything, Sirius thought. 

  "But I think James should know the truth before he asks her. That your feelings have changed.” Sirius said, sitting down on the chair of her study, leaning forward to look at her at eye level. 

  "I can always, wait you know? When they break up-" 

"-if they break up, Evans. And don't tell me seeing James frolicking with another girl wouldn't kill you." 

Lily’s eyes brimmed with tears at that statement. It was like she actually saw James happily kissing Emily in her head. She blinked away the tears and shook her head. 

"Why are you here telling me all this?” She asked, in a small voice. 

  "I don't know..” He said, leaning back and looking out the window, trying to look for words. 

"Emily's a nice, polite and caring person, I apologise for calling her a tart earlier, but James deserves that.” Sirius looked at Lily’s sullen face again, as she spoke. "He deserves someone who tells him how nice he is, not someone who calls him out for his every mistake. Certainly not someone who has insulted him infront of a crowd on numerous occasions.” Sirius could hear the sincerity in her words, despite knowing how much it was visibly breaking her to say out loud. 

  "Well, to be fair, James did deserve that. He can be a prick sometimes, and his ego can inflate to the size of the black lake, but..” He paused, leaning ahead again, taking Lily’s hands in his, “He needs you. He needs you to ground him, to bring him back to Earth whenever he tries to fly too far away, and I'm sorry but Emily can't do that." Sirius said, shaking his head a little. 

  Lily just stared at him, her eyes brimming with tears again. 

"There is no James Potter without Lily Evans.” As if on cue, the tears fell. She swallowed, looked down at her feet again and smiled a little. 

  "You're uncannily good with words.” She said in a very small voice, after a long time. Sirius chuckled. 

  "So, how do we get to him?” She sniffed, wiped the tears from her cheeks and squared her shoulders, as if preparing for a battle of sorts. 

  Sirius chuckled again, but then his grey eyes widened as realisation dawned on him. 

  "I.. might.. have not thought this through.” He said, slowly. 

  "Well, where is he? We could apparate there.” Lily asked, expecting an answer. 

  "I don't know..” Sirius braced himself. 

  "You don't know?” She asked, incredulous. 

  "No..” He said, stretching out the o. 

  "You didn't ask him where he was going before deciding to show up here?” She asked, her temper flaring. 

  "I'm thinking I'm not as clever as I thought I was.” 

"You think?!” ... 

James Potter and Emily Cooper sat in a fine dining Italian restaurant in Leicester Square, had just finished their main course and were waiting for dessert when, suddenly, all hell broke loose. 

  It started with collective shrieks, which converted into full on screaming as guests suddenly got up from their chairs and ran in all directions possible. James turned around to see what the commotion was all about, when he saw a people tripping over each other and food flying in all directions. 

  “What the..” He started to say, when the staff of the restaurant were waving the leather bound menus up in the air, trying to swat at something. The grey blob, as if suddenly angered by the swatting and shrieking, dipped on to one table, actually picked up a container of what looked like red marinara sauce and dropped it all over one of the wait staff. 

  That was precisely when James had a mini heart attack. 

  Instead of getting up and actually doing something, he seemed to be frozen, too shocked at the sight in front of him. It reminded him of the tne night at Hogwarts, when the marauders had enchanted the plates to randomly fly into student’s faces when the word “Stop” was spoken. Needless to say, it escalated very quickly and they had spent an entire month in detention with Filch. 

  The bird was now flying low, almost into everyone’s faces as they screamed and scrambled away from it. A few of the seated guests fell backwards on their chairs. The ones standing slipped in the marinara. There were dishes and lasagne and spaghetti flying in all directions as Isis hooted happily in the air before landing herself in the middle of the table in front of James. She hooted happily once more, nipping at James’ frozen hands on the 

table affectionately as a way of greeting. He just stared at her for a good minute before noticing a letter attached to her talon when James had another mini heart attack. 

  What the..? He thought, brows furrowing at the letter as he untied it from Isis and put it in promptly in his jacket pocket. 

  “ISIS!” He angrily whispered. She hooted, hardly bothered by the anger. James now looked at up Emily, who was just gaping at him, shocked and then looked over to something behind James. He turned around, following her gaze, and found the entirety of the restaurant, now covered in sauces red and green, just looking at them in various stages of utter shock, disbelief and anger. 

  James turned around and got up promptly, Emily mirroring his movements, Isis now happily perched on his shoulder and did the one thing 6 years at Hogwarts and being a Marauder had taught him. He got the hell out of there.

[Komaeda didn’t deserve it.]

I was inspired by @mostladylikeladythateverladied and that post. However, I’ll cover different period of time. SDR2, later maybe?

A lot of people talked about how unfair class 77th treated Komaeda before events od SDR2 or even bomb’s accident involving Seiko. It’s understandable. He tried to help them even if he used wrong methods to do it. We focus mostly on him because his character is really well developed. His struggles were shown on the same level as Hinata’s and Chiaki’s in Despair Side.

“Why Komaeda was treated far worse than the others? He was innocent!”

Random Anonymous Fangirl

I want to take different insight on this matter.

We are only human. We aren’t capable of liking everyone and treating the same way. It’s an unconsious selection we are doing in our minds. It’s someone’s behaviour which starting to interest us, their clothes, their talents, their character and little details like their smell or tone of the voice. All those facts matters.

Komaeda has everything which is needed to be likeable.

He looks good as Genocider stated, he is fashionable which proves his profile in artbook. He seems calm and composured at first and in short-term contact he can act like a nice person without showing his “true colours”. His short relationship with Seiko proves that.

Then, what exacly went wrong?

His tactlessness is partially to blame, of course. He was using every ocassion to brought up his main goal. It’s not only creepy but also making people around uncomforable. If you were constantly reminded how earth’s safety was depending on how good you are doing things, weren’t you feel pressured or annoyed?

Still, the worst was his attitude. He was consequently distancing himself by his low-eestem. Komaeda wasn’t even trying to hide that he treated himself as worse than the others. It’s just annoying to deal with someone who everytime you try to talk is saying something along the line they aren’t worth it. It’s like this “friend” which is crying over how fat she is but she isn’t. One time, you are trying to comfort her, next time too, maybe even third time but at some point you just don’t feel like doing it. It’s like a repetitive circle which will never ends. It’s not like we are really close to help each other.

Naegi was in the same situation as him but he managed to be liked by many people in his class… Yet, Komaeda’s name could be easily wiped out and put Mikan in his place. Their cases are really similar.

Komaeda isn’t looking for a pity and attention which is Mikan’s main goal. It’s easier to accept someone who seems hurt and delicate rather than a maniac.  Only Hiyoko treats her equally as everyone or even worse. I feel Hiyoko treat them differently because for her Komaeda doesn’t seem like a “attention wh*re”. It’s also a fact Komaeda’s is disliked by everyone while Tsumiki only by her.

What about the others?

It’s simple. We aren’t forced to like everyone and talk with them. 77th Class wasn’t acting like a class to begin with. All of them were focusing on their own talents with some which attended to class. While they started coming, first barrier was shown. Sonia was alone, Hiyoko was feeling comfortable with Mahiru, Nekomaru was looking after Akane, Souda tried to get Sonia’s attention, Gundham was interested in his animals, Fuyuhiko ignored everyone despite Peko, Ibuki and Teruteru carefree talked with everyone but they weren’t in anyone’s longer attention. While Chiaki was spending time alone on games. There wasn’t anyone feeling a need to talk with him or had a reason to. It’s Hinata who made a difference.

What I’m pointing out is that in the beginning everyone except Mahiru/Hiyoko and Fuyuhiko/Peko were alone.

Their relationships progressed as Despair Side was progressing. Sonia and Gundham found their matching interest, Akane started training with Nekomaru, Souda formed weak brotherly bond with Teruteru, Ibuki were more interested into spending time in the class. All of them a little opened up incluenced by Yukizome but the one who changed the most was Chiaki.

She wasn’t popular. She was mostly ignored because she wasn’t saying anything. If Komaeda wouldn’t talk as much as he is, he would probably end up as her. Invisible. Yet, when she showed up her interest in class she showed her best side and they accepted it.

“Lucky Accidents”

We all know about Komaeda’s talent and it surely influenced Souda the most. While Gundham never blamed Komaeda’s for his dog dissapearing, Souda was sure who’s fault that was. While Komaeda never was exacly sure what will happen because of his talent and decisions, Souda isn’t one of those silent people who would swallow it and try to understand. Especially, if he was more than once injured because of it. It’s only one more reason to dislike Komaeda and avoiding him.

To be fair, Souda is also treated very coldly. Sonia has a point to dislike him even if as a princess she should be more considerate. She probably had many fans in Novoselic Kingdom. I guess she was tired of it. There is also a fact all her fans weren’t spending time so close to her. Well, it’s just Souda can be useful while Komaeda even if his actions saved them were just making them uncomfortable or just bad.

Will you be happy if your friend risk life of many people? If he would constantly making you worry or sad? They were prejucided that he will do something wrong or strange. It’s like Komaeda is equal to word “only bad things happen”. They builded a wall formed by doubt.

Is it justyfing how harsh they were for him?

No. No one deserves to be bullied. No matter how annoying their attidute is. It’s much better if they would ignore him and they mostly did this. They just weren’t able to resist it all the time.

“Seeing is irrational, inconsistent, and undependable.”

“My sentence, ‘The beholder looks at the object,’ is in serious trouble. There is no simple looking, there is no fixed object, and there is also no fixed observer. If I ere a logician I would be tempted to write a syllogism something like this: The beholder looks at object, but the object changes the beholder, and therefore the beholder does not look at the object. ”

“When it comes to seeing, object and observers alter on another, and meaning goes in both directions.” (Elkins, 1999)

“Out of objective, objective method, developed the objective consideration of the itself – its own demands issuing from its own objective existence – the flatness, bounded rectangularity, colour and tactility of the painting, the appearance of the printed poem on the page, with the simultaneous objective consideration of the conventions needed to support the illusion od space and volume in painting and meaning in poetry.” (Tucker, 1985)

“Apperceive activity becomes aesthetic enjoyment in the cars of positive empathy, in the case of the union of my activity demanded of me by the sensuous object. In relation to the work of art also, it is this positive empathy alone which comes into question. This is the basis of the theory of empathy, in so far as it finds practical application to the work of art. From it result the definitions of the beautiful and ugly. For example: ‘Only in so far as this empathy exists, are forms beautiful. Their beauty is this the ideal freedom with which I live myself out in them. Conversely, form is ugly when I am unable to do this, when I feel myself inwardly unfree, inhibited, subjected to a constraint in the form, or in its contemplation’ (Lipps, Aesthetick) ” (Woeeunger, 2014)

“It goes thus: My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impressions of nature. If this end is unattainable, so, it can be said, is perfection in any other ideal of painting or in any other of man’s activities. The trend in some of the contemporary movements in art, but by no means all, seems to deny this ideal and to me appears to lead to a purely decorative conception of painting. One must perhaps qualify this statement and say that seemingly opposite tendencies each contain some modicum of the other. I have tried to present my sensations in what is the most congenial and impressive form possible to me. The technical obstacles of painting perhaps dictate this form. It derives also from the limitations of personality, and such may be the simplifications that I have attempted. I find in working always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision, and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds.”

“This direction is sterile and without hope to those who wish to give painting a richer and more human meaning and a wider scope. No one can correctly forecast the direction that painting will take in the next few years, but to me at least there seems to be a revulsion against the invention of arbitrary and stylized design. There will be, I think, an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods, together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.” (Ass.is.edu, 2018)

       “All things are imperfect. Nothing that exists is without imperfections. When we look really closely at things we see the flaws. The sharp edge of a razor blade, when magnified, reveals microscopic pits, chips, and variegations. Every craftsman knows the limits of perfection: the imperfections glare back. And as things begin to break down and approach the primordial state, they become even less perfect, more irregular.”

       “All things are incomplete. All things, including the universe itself, are in constant, never ending state of becoming or dissolving. Often we arbitrarily designate moments, points along the way, as “finished” or “complete.” But when dose something’s destiny finally come to fruition? Is the plant complete when it flowers? When it goes to seed? When the seeds sprout? When everything turns into compost? The notion of completion has no basis in wabi-sabi.”

       “Beauty can be coaxed out of ugliness. Wabi-sabi is ambivalent about separating beauty from non-beauty or ugliness. The beauty of wabi-sabi is, in one respect, the condition of coming to terms with what you consider ugly. Wabi-sabi suggests that beauty is a dynamic event that occurs between you and something else. Beauty can spontaneously occur at any moment given the proper circumstances, context, or point of view. Beauty is thus an altered state of consciousness, an extraordinary moment of poetry and grace.”

      “To the wealthy merchants, samurai, and aristocrats who practiced tea, a medieval Japanese farmer’s hut, which the wabi-sabi tea room was modelled on, was a quite lowly and miserable environment. Yet, in the proper context, with some perceptual guidance, it took on exceptional beauty. Similarly, early wabi-sabi tea utensils were rough, flawed, and of undistinguished muddy colors. To tea people accustomed to the Chinese standards of refined, gorgeous, and perfect beauty, they were initially perceived as ugly. It is almost as if the pioneers of wabi-sabi intentionally looked for such examples of the conventionally not-beautiful—homely but not excessively grotesque—and created challenging situations where they would be transformed into their opposite.” (Koren, 2008)

“At the start of the twentieth century the use of simple still-life arrangements of the most ordinary objects enabled Cézanne, and then Picasso and Braque, to develop new ways of repre­senting reality in painting. From 1912 Picasso and Braque incorporated reality directly into their work, first in flat Cubist collages

using newspaper, wallpaper and the like, then in Picasso’s three-dimensional Cubist construc­tions in some of which actual objects represented themselves. This marked a significant moment for one of modern art’s central obsessions: bringing art ever closer to reality. Marcel Duchamp closed this gap with a series of works (called readymades) which presented everyday objects, most notoriously a urinal, as art. Having established this principle, Duchamp went on to cre­ate complex still-life objects, neither painting nor sculpture, a mixture of readymade and art­ist-made elements. Outstanding among these is The Bride Stripped Bare by her Batchelors, Even (The Large Glass) ”(Fuirer, 2001)

“At the same time Gnoli’s compositions seem monumental. For all their intimacy they also look like massive forms approaching the scale of Mount Rushmore or the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. It’s true that some of his paintings are large (six feet tall or more) but even those paintings seem like they are only hinting at the real size. Sometimes the looming shape of the main object nearly fills the rectangle of the canvas leaving just a sliver of empty space along an edge. At other times the object totally fills the rectangle and seems to extend way beyond its borders. In both instances it makes the scene appear huge, like a land form too large to accurate­ly capture in a single painting.”

“Apart from all these physical characteristics there is a pronounced but intangible “feeling” about Gnoli’s paintings. They seem eerie and magical in a way that is somewhat reminiscent of the surrealist painters Magritte and de Chirico. Yet, there is nothing overtly manipulative in Gnoli’s images. Time, space and objects are very normal here. There are no improbable juxtapo­sitions. It is obviously just the unusual close up point of view and the carefully arranged compo­sitions that create this psychological edge to the scenes.” (Design: A Beginner ’s Handbook,2018)

Empty Drawing Room

Amid the indecision of the brocade

the mahogany furniture

continues its interminable tea party.

Then daguerreotypes present

a time stopped in a mirror

so that it looks closer than it is,

and when we look carefully they are lost

like the useless dates

of dim anniversaries.

For a long time now

their anxious voices have been calling us

and now they are scarcely there

in the first morning of our infancy.

The light of this day

elevates the street of noise and vertigo

and dismisses and snuffs out the faint voice

of the ancestors.

Street with a Pink Corner Store

Gone into night are all the eyes from every intersection

and it’s like a drought anticipating rain.

Now all roads are near,

even the roads are near.

The wind brings with a slow, befuddled dawn.

Dawn is our fear of doing different things and it comes over us.

All the blessed night I have been walking

and its restlessness had left me

on this street, which could be any street.

Here again the certainty of the plains

on the horizon

and the barren terrain that fades into weeds and wire

and the store as bright as last night’s new moon.

The corner is familiar like a memory

with those spacious squares and the promise of a courtyard.

How lovely to attest to you, street of forever, since my own days have witnessed so few things!

Light draws streaks in the air.

My years have run down roads of earth and water

and you are all I feel, strong rosy street.

I think it is your walls that conceived sunrise,

store so bright in the depth of night.

I think, and the confession of my poverty

is given voice before these houses:

I have seen nothing of mountain ranges, rivers, or the sea,

but the light of Buenos Aries mad itself my friend

and I shape the lines of my life and my death with that light of the street.

Big long-suffering street,

you are the only music my life has understood.

Simplicity

     for Haydee Lange

The garden gate is opened

as easily as a turned page

question by a regular devotion

and once inside, our gazes

have no need to fix on objects

that already exist completely in memory.

I am familiar with the customs and the souls

and that dialectic of allusions

which any gathering of humans weaves.

I need not speak

nor claim false privileges;

those who surround me here know me well,

know well my afflictions and my weakness.

That is to attain the highest thing,

what will perhaps be given us by Heaven:

not veneration or victories,

but simply to be accepted

as part of an undeniable Reality,

like stones and trees.

                                     --S.K.

Morandi’s approach to his work was to control every aspect of making a painting, from stretching his own canvases and making his paints, to placing his

objects, lighting them and positioning himself before them.

The objects Morandi chose to paint: bottles, jars, jugs and cans, were placed on sheets of paper on specially made tables and shelves and their position marked out in pencil. Sometimes he also drew the shadows onto the paper, for emphasis. He used three different kinds of supports for his objects: a rectangular table, an oval table and a special table cut off so that the back was wider than the front. This table could be cantilevered into different angles and positions. He also marked the position of his feet in chalk when standing at his easel. In this way his viewpoint could be explored and altered and the original set up could be revisited.

Morandi sometimes painted the objects, or filled the bottles with paint. By doing this he eliminated the shine and reflections. He was not interested in optical effects like highlights, but wanted to explore light, colour and volume. Similarly, dust was a friend to him: it dulled down the surfaces of the objects and preserved them in time.

Morandi claimed that because of problems with his eyes he only made four or five paintings a year.

A half dozen pictures would just about be enough for the life of an artist, ... for my life.

Morandi

However this was not the case. In 1943, his most productive year, he made 70 works. Between 1910 and 1940 he made 253 paintings. Between the years 1940 and 1964, when Morandi died, he made 1123 works.

But he may well have destroyed quite a number of works along the way.

Looking at the three-legged easel, I saw on its ledge a

thick grey lump like a piece of some geological

stratification, made up of leftover scrapings from

canvases. ‘Those are my paintings that went wrong’

he told us.

Pompilio Mandelli

Still life/Object/Real life display

Like landscape, still life only emerged as a distinct category of painting in the seventeenth century. It developed as a celebration of the material pleasures

of life - food, drink, possessions. In a religious age it also took on symbolic meaning: dead fish and game, flowers that will fade, fruit that will rot, objects that will outlive us, as well as actual skulls, all becoming reminders of mortality.

At the start of the twentieth century the use of simple still-life arrangements of the most ordinary objects enabled Cézanne, and then Picasso and Braque, to develop new ways of representing reality in painting. From 1912 Picasso and Braque incorporated reality directly into their work, first in flat Cubist collages

using newspaper, wallpaper and the like, then in Picasso's three-dimensional Cubist constructions in some of which actual objects represented themselves. This marked a significant moment for one of modern art's central obsessions: bringing art ever closer to reality. Marcel Duchamp closed this gap with a series

of works (called readymades) which presented everyday objects, most notoriously a urinal, as art. Having established this principle, Duchamp went on to create complex still-life objects, neither painting nor sculpture, a mixture of readymade and artist-made elements. Outstanding among these is  The Bride Stripped Bare by her Batchelors, Even (The Large Glass)

In the 1930s Surrealism injected powerful psychological, particularly psychosexual content, into the modern still-life object (for example Salvador Dali's Lobster Telephone and Hans Bellmer's Doll ) and this spirit continues in the contemporary work of  Lucas Samaras, Robert Gober, Jeff Koons and Cathy

de Monchaux.

From the early 1960s Pop art and New Realism gave rise to a huge revival of still life, as artists turned their gaze on the bright new world of consumer goods and popular culture that was burgeoning. Jasper John's paintings of flags and numbers and Andy Warhol's soup cans marked both a revival and a revolution in painting the everyday world, while Claes Oldenburg's sculptural renderings of objects such as drainpipes embraced dramatically new categories of still-life

subject as well as giving a new emphasis to still life as a major subject for sculpture. In the final decades of the twentieth century Duchamp's proposal to bring reality directly into art has been widely explored. Examples of such practice are rich and varied: Carl Andre's notorious brick piece Equivalent VIII; Damien Hirst's works incorporating preserved dead animals to create contemporary vanitas images (reminders of mortality);Tony Cragg's assemblages of found materials which retain their dentity while taking on new metamorphic meanings; Richard Hamilton's working computer; and Susan

Hiller's remarkable From the Freud Museum, which represents the significant practice of artists collecting and categorising objects.
