About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Funció Primària: Decoració d'Espais

Text del Llibre: Aquesta obra s'inspira en la història d'amor que hi ha darrere del retrat "Marthe de Florian", una obra de Giovanni Bellini. L'arranjament de color rosa la representa com a actriu que va viure a París durant la glamurosa època de la preguerra. La rosa representa l'amor. El de color blau, en canvi, representa la força d'una dona que vaga pel remolí de la guerra, però que mai no es desespera i prega per l'alba. Les dues grans flors corbes representen el camí que cal recórrer, i la planta blava assecada s'anomena l'"arbre del viatger" i simbolitza els temps canviants.

Inspiration
The inspiration for this art work, consisting of two pieces, comes from the story behind the painting, "Portrait of Marthe de Florian" by Italian painter Giovanni Boldini. The painting had been sleeping for 70 years until it was discovered at Florian's apartment in Paris. This work is an homage to the beautiful memories of Giovanni and his lover Florian. "La Memoire De La Rose " (left) depicts the story of her elegant life in Paris. "La Voyage Bleu" (right) is the image of her life after the war. She lived with dignity.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2016 in Tokyo and was exhibited in Flower Art Award In Tokyo Midtown in April 2017
Operation Flow
Display Tips: 1.Overall coloration may fade overtime, therefore avoidance of the direct sun light is advisable.
2. You can arrange them side by side as shown in the photo. Depending on the space available, you may place them apart from each other. It might be interesting to display it with each facing away from the other, back to back in a place like a museum where the audience flow can be dictated. Such flow must allow viewing "La Memoire De La Rose" first , followed by "La Voyage de Bleu".
