Haibun Monday, and Kim has presented a visual prompt .. “Broadway Boogie Woogie” by Piet Mondrian. We’re asked to study the image and write how it makes us feel. I have been painfully honest with my impression. Perhaps I’ve opened myself to psychoanalysis! At any rate, here it is, with my apologies to Mr. Mondrian!

**********
I am a pragmatic soul and when it comes to abstract art and/or fantasy, I seem to find myself out in left field somewhere. The piece makes me feel claustrophobic, much as when I find myself in a crowd, I feel I can’t breathe freely until I get to the edge and space. “Broadway Boogie Woogie” just disturbs me. It seems to be a maze, and the primary colors lead me to believe the artist works within rigid parameters. Were I not given the title, it would not lead my thoughts to Broadway … or any city, for that matter. It evokes sympathy for the artist, thinking perhaps he felt boxed in with no clear path to the outside. No small wonder, since his arsenal of tools seems limited. Mondrian seemed to have progressed from Dutch traditional to cubism and hence to abstract art, an interesting journey.
any way I turn
anger red and sunshine hot
an endless summer
A blog for the midnight epiphanies and idle thoughts of a hopeless wordaholic.
Would you like to lie on the couch while I comment, Bev? I’m so glad you were painfully honest with your impression. I also see a maze and rigid parameters, which is perhaps how Mondrian felt about art or the situation in Europe at the time. I love the way the image comes through in the haiku.
ReplyDeleteiI’m lauriel from New York, United States. I lost my job a few months back after my divorce with my wife. I tried everything positive to make sure I took good care of my kids but all failed, and I was in debt which makes everything worse. I was kicked out of my home and i had to live with my neighbor after pleading with her to allow me to stay with her for some days while I figured out how to get a home which she agreed to, but no one was willing to help anymore. I bumped into this page from google and I was excited about this, then I contacted the hackersBill Dean. I had just $200, so I pleaded with them to help me because of my condition but they never accepted. I believed in this, so I managed to pawn a few things and got $500. I ordered the $10,000 card and I got my card delivered to me by Ups 4 days later. I never believed my eyes! I was excited and upset as well, I managed to withdraw $2000 on the ATM and $2500 the second day. I went to Walmart and a grocery store and bought a couple of things for $3000. The card got blocked the third day and I contacted them and I was told it's a mistake from my end. I’m so happy, I have started all over again and have a good apartment with my kids you can contact him through is via email (globalatmcardhackingservice@gmail.com)or his whatsap contact (+1 301-887-5071)
DeleteI love it! You laid Mondrain right out on Kim's Couch!! I am sure you did not get as much for your psychoanalysis as he did for the painting!
ReplyDeleteCities can leave your red hot in the summer heat~ Well done.
luv your very candid impression, a lovely haibun. While reading I kind of wondered in which haiku direction you would take me. Nice.
ReplyDeletehappy Monday
Much💟love
Perhaps he did feel boxed in with no way to get out.
ReplyDeleteI like your interpretation and impressions of it, Beverly. It seems more generic instructional than artistic to me.
ReplyDeleteActually this picture was considered a revolutionary turn in his own art. No one was doing anything like this at the time.
ReplyDeleteReally like your haiku- it reflected your prose piece perfectly
Your words really re-created that claustrophobic feeling the painting gives you. It's made me look at it with fresh eyes, not easy to do with a familiar image. (K)
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the art Bev! I always appreciate someone else's view on a piece as I'm sure the artist would too. 🙂💕
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your reflection on the artwork and how the artist may have experienced it. It makes me wonder about all of the eyes that have looked at this piece and the many stories that came from the viewing. I really liked your haiku at the end.
ReplyDeletesn endless summer, no doubt....
ReplyDeleteAn interesting take, Bev. I can appreciate your perspective of a rigid, boxed-in, too hot feeling from the artwork.
ReplyDeleteAh! Such a raw take on the photo. Now I see how it relates to cubism and yes, claustrophobia. The haiku sums up the feelings so well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful haiku at the end. You packed a lot of power into so few words.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit it's not a painting I myself would enjoy having on the wall. I love a landscape, or traditional portrait. I've been quite taken with Artemisia recently, however I think my husband might object if I hung a print of one of her paintings in our house.
All her women look so unhappy. I might like "The Theater of Revenge" however!
DeleteWhat an excellent interpretation Beverly.
ReplyDeleteI almost thought the opposite... more like a decorator or something... but the title made me see the city and the subway...
ReplyDelete"and the primary colors lead me to believe the artist works within rigid parameters." What an interesting insight this is! Well said.
ReplyDeleteI especially like your haiku "anger red and sunshine hot"
Yes, I totally agree!
ReplyDeleteHaven't you heard about Mr Calvin's blank ATM card and how other people have benefited from it? I'm Mr Randy Rodriguez. I want to share a blog and forums on how to get a real blank ATM card, i thank Mr Calvin who helped me with an already hacked ATM CARD and I was so poor without funds that I got frustrated. One morning while I was going through some stuff on the internet, I came across different comments of people testifying on how Mr Calvin has helped them from being poor to being rich through this already hacked ATM CARD. I was skeptical if this was true, I decided to contact him to know if he is real. He proved to me beyond all doubts that it was real. So I urgently ordered for my own blank ATM card by Contacting his email and today I'm also testifying about the good work of Mr Calvin. I never believed in it until the card was sent to me, which I am using today Contact the company now and become extremely rich too. Email: officialblankatmservice@gmail.com
