Sarah
Raphael
The young British artist Sarah Raphael, whose work hangs in the Metropolitan
Museum in New York and London's National
Portrait Gallery, died at age 40.
Raphael died on January 10, 2001 of complications from pneumonia.
The daughter of Oscar-winning screen writer Frederic Raphael, Sarah
Raphael decided she wanted to become an artist at the age of 7.
She explored many styles. Initially best known for her portraits,
she also painted landscapes,
allegorical scenes and bright mosaics of color.
"No matter how far she strayed into the abstract, humanity was
always her subject, and all the grief that went with it," The
Independent newspaper said in an obituary.
"Human grief gave the coherence to her exuberance, the chest-voice
to her joy. For all her conspicuous blessings, it was part of her
genius that tragedy was not strange to her."
In 1996, Raphael -- whose striking good looks made her a familiar
face in British celebrity
magazines -- won the NatWest Prize for Art for a series of paintings
depicting Australian scenes. Plagued by migraines since she was a
teen-ager, Raphael was eventually forced to give up using oil paints
and turpentine in favor of acrylics. |

Maurizio Cosua
When we look at the works of Maurizio Cosua, we might feel like
a speeding car on a super highway suddenly stopped in its tracks
because the super highway has become a dirt road and we must take
off our shoes to walk upon it: Earth in its various forms is the
substance of Cosuaıs work, with a hidden door to take us into ourselves.
The quick flicker of television events, that invades our inner life,
suddenly disappears... We are in the world of ancient Indian tribes
and we are guided by the natural lines of plant ferns and field
furrows to the central source: a leaf, a stem or, hauntingly, a
door.
So Maurizio Cosuaıs work asks us to linger with our eyes, donıt
focus, let the earth absorb our attention as water is absorbed by
the earth. And sometimes there is no focus for attention, just a
corrugated homogeneous substance, but with, oh, what tones and shadings.
So we are in art as new learning, and today,
the new learning is of old perceptions. Jungian archetypes is a
synonym. Like the hunter who must discern the vague light of a trail
by night, we can only see Cosua if we relax our eyes anew, let go
all artificial perceptions, and look upon the ground. In those special
tableaux in which the ground leads us to a door, we may want to
go through, out, in, to ourselves.
