What are Raphael's Madonnas but the shadow of a mother's love, fixed in permanent outline forever?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mom's paintings are a very small part of the legacy she left behind.
You know I was curious - I was interested in all kinds of mystery or deeper meanings in the paintings because I myself have not analyzed why they have turned out like this or like that.
The Pre-Raphaelites, while very bothered by what the establishment thought of them, also utterly rebelled against it. In everything - social, sexual, emotional - they were out on a limb, pushing the boundaries.
I have a Madonna portrait done in the style of a Russian icon. My mother, the chef Lidia Bastianich, and I bought it together. It reminds me of her.
It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience, having gone through persona changes like that, that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be.
The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.
There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.
I think Madonna might have a multiple personality.
In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past - a pious guardian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared.
The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.
