About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Primary Function: Sgeadachadh Àite

Book Text: Tha an obair seo air a brosnachadh leis an sgeul-gaoil air cùl an dealbh "Marthe de Florian", obair le Giovanni Bellini. Tha an t-eagrachadh dhathach ròs ga riochdachadh mar bhana-chleasaiche a bha a' fuireach ann am Paris rè an linn ghlòrmhoir ro-chogaidh. Tha an ròs a' riochdachadh gaol. Tha am fear gorm, air an làimh eile, a' riochdachadh neart boireannaich a bha a' seòladh tro chuairt-shruth a' chogaidh, ach nach do chaill dòchas a-riamh agus a bha ag ùrnaigh airson na camhanaich. Tha an dà fhlùr chrom mhòr a' riochdachadh an t-slighe ri gabhail, agus theirear "craobh an luchd-siubhail" ris an lus ghorm tioram agus tha e a' samhlachadh nan amannan a tha ag atharrachadh.

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".
