The Narrator of dreams

December 08, 2009 Rappoport by Jon Rappoport Edit

Perhaps you’ve noticed that not many stage plays have narrators. No, the curtain goes up and the drama begins. Whereas, in “real life,” many people are looking for a narrator to tell a story, their story, and they want to attach themselves to this narrator in some way. He’s the guy, he’s the one with the knowledge, he knows how it’s all going to turn out, and by the sound of his voice, it’s going to come to good ending. Finally, all will be well.

The Strange Case of Salvador Dali and the Cosmic Prison Break

December 01, 2009 Rappoport by Administrator Edit

The critics would have declared Dali a lunatic if he hadn't had such formidable classical painting skills.

He placed his repeating images (the notorious melting watch, the face and body of his wife, the ornate and fierce skeletal structures of unknown creatures) on the canvas as if they had as much right to be there as any familiar object.

This was quite troubling to many people. If an immense jawbone that was also a rib or a forked femur could rival a perfectly rendered lamp or couch or book (on the same canvas), where were all the accoutrements and assurances of modern comfortable living?
