The Temple (painting)

  • ... that according to an art historian, the painting The Temple evokes a sense of both crisis and "enduring power"? Source: "...within Delvaux's work too there is often the pervasive sense of a crisis of modernity conveyed in his pictorial articulation of a strange or disjunctive antiquity. ... A sense that, not only is the fragmented and broken nature of the past somehow also a fundamental reflection of the disjointed nature of the contemporary world of the present, but also that, beyond and between these two temporal eras, there stretches another wider and unexplored landscape of lyrical mystery and enduring power." Dumas, Adrienne (2012). "Paul Delvaux (1897–1994): Le temple".
    • ALT1: ... that according to an archaeologist, it is significant that the painting The Temple, which shows the broken off head of a statue, does not evoke melancholy? Source: "Here, the fragment is not the sign of the past or an invitation to melancholy." Jockey, Philippe (2009). "Delvaux and Ancient Sculpture". In Draguet, Michel (ed.). Delvaux and Antiquity. p. 120.

  • GTG. GA, reads well, but the description could be fuller. I don't hugely like either hook, but ALT0 seems better. ALT0 checks out, AGF on ALT1 hook. Johnbod (talk) 17:01, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
