MS: There is some evidence of family life in Nobson, in buildings that are homes of some kind.
Mainly though the family is present as domestication, as order and containment, in relation to creative (re)production.
Detail Welcome to Nobson, 2008-2010
PN: Here are the Mothers - I'm not sure if they are my Mothers but they are definitely Goethe's and they might also be the women that danced for joy as King David rode into Jerusalem to make that town the new centre of the new Israel. They are definitely the dancers of Matisses' dance. Matisses dancers danced to turn the clock back against the futurity of the Modernists. Painted in the same year as King Leopold's death and the publication of the Futurist manifesto, I'm sure that behind this painting is a repulsion for the slaughter in the Congo in the rush to reap maximum profits from the Belgian colony's natural rubber resources and the modern obsession with speed. Matisse painted Arcadia. Above, Poussin's dance with His & Her Herm.
