About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Função Primária: Decoração de Espaço

Texto do Livro: Esta obra é inspirada na história de amor por trás do retrato "Marthe de Florian", uma obra de Giovanni Bellini. O arranjo em tons de rosa a representa como uma atriz que viveu em Paris durante a glamorosa era pré-guerra. A rosa representa o amor. Já a azul representa a força de uma mulher que vagueia pelo turbilhão da guerra, mas que nunca se desespera e reza pelo amanhecer. As duas grandes flores curvas representam o caminho a ser percorrido, e a planta azul seca é chamada de "árvore do viajante" e simboliza os tempos em mudança.

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".
