Fugitive Pigments

In FUGITIVE PIGMENTS, Ruth Bavetta brings together the worlds of poetry and art. These are ekphrastic poems, instructive poems, poems riffing off the principles of art — the art of living, of shading, perspective, colors; how to create an exquisite corpse, and what one should know about shadows. Bavetta speaks in the voice of Joseph Cornell, addresses Alice Neel, wakes up under a sky painted by Andrea Mantegna. She writes of making art, looking at art, teaching art — teaching us to see.
