About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Primary Function: Romte Dekoraasje

Book Text: Dit wurk is ynspirearre troch it leafdesferhaal efter it portret "Marthe de Florian", in wurk fan Giovanni Bellini. De roaskleurige arranzjemint stelt har foar as in aktrise dy't yn Parys wenne yn 'e glamûreuze foaroarlochske tiid. De roas stiet foar leafde. De blauwe, oan 'e oare kant, stiet foar de krêft fan in frou dy't troch de wjirwyn fan 'e oarloch swalket, mar noait wanhopet en bidt foar de moarnsdage. De twa grutte bôge blommen stean foar it paad dat ôflein wurde moat, en de droege blauwe plant hjit de "beam fan 'e reizger" en symbolisearret de feroarjende tiden.

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".
