Making art from a famous poem (6 artworks series)

in #art7 years ago (edited)

I created today a series of painting inspired by a famous (popular?) poem: "Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas.

I don't want to spend any word about it. Here are the paintings and the poem:

Do not go gentle into that good night, 

Old age should burn and rave at close of day; 

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.


Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.


Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.


Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.


Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.


And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Now this is beautifully done great poem and it was really an awesome experience to see the art work along beautiful

These are amazing! They make me think of cool late 60's broadway posters, and I mean that as a compliment.

The contrast is really great. I love them.

Your poetic plate is very interesting. Your art is more expressive than the words you illustrate.
Like the work I just posted about the song, tears of a clown. Your work on childhood memories were an inspiration for my post.
