Circe daVinci

another painting of circe by jw waterhouse - as fascinated by her as i am, it seems... she is sexy and smart, which is appealing to the older-than-12 part of our minds, i guess. but i love how she is shown thinking - about what only her companions know...

so some of these ideas are coming from a book 'art and physics' by leonard shlain. full of paintings to make his points and some good quotes:

f neitzche: without music life would be a mistake

a einstein: imagination is more important that knowledge

j baldwin: the purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers

ea poe: space and duration (time) are one. (60 years before einstein...)
