Collage,
tribute to the African American writer
TONI MORRISON.

Her latest novel is called HOME.
I hesitated buying it.
Another book on how bad the black people
were treated by the American albinos!?
I know this stuff 2 much
but when I opened the novel and I read the opening
poem WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS?
I said to myself
OH GOD OF SURREALISM
this is pure Magritte, this is pure magic!!

So I used one of Magritte’s paintings as starting point
of the collage: the house in the shadows of the dark
illuminated only with a few sparkles of light
while the sky is clear, full of light and clouds.
Fantastic painting, one of my favorite Magritte’s,
I can see it very time I want in the Museum of Ixelles, Brussels 1050!

I wonder if Toni knows this painting? Not that this is important.
The key in Toni’s poem is transformed in this collage into a string instrument in stone, Magritte would certainly have approved this transformation. He did similar transformations in many of his paintings (GV)
