Franz Sedlacek, Evening Landscape, 1933 |
So, there was this scientist, Franz Sedlacek, (1891–1945) an Austrian,
who had trained as a chemistry technician but when he was older, he became an interesting, innovative artist. He let his imagination roam in strange, often darkly hilarious, eerie directions. A number of his paintings depict light in the distance, which is how I think of December at this latitude. And how I hope, yearn, for the future of the world, to go from this darkness toward the light.
