Come join us at the reception Friday, April 2nd, 5:00-8:00 pm. www.sdws.orgELIXIR DE LONGUE VIE, de Honore de Balzac. "La debauche et la religion s'accouplaient alors si bien, que la religion y etait une debauche et la debauche une religion." Balzac se refiere souvant a la peinture hollandaise, et a Rembrandt en particulier a cause de sa technique du clair-obscur. Balzac recherche l'oxymore, du paradoxe, suceptible de faire fusion les valeurs antithetiques dans un equilibre de contraires.
THE ELIXIR OF LONG LIFE, by Honore de Balzac. "Scandal and religion go so well together, that religion now is a scandal, and scandals are a religion." Balzac often refers to Dutch painting, and particularly to Rembrandt, due to his technic of chiaroscuro. Balzac was always searching for the oximoron, the paradox, susceptible of the fusion of antithetical values in a balance of contraries.
