3 transom lights and 1 door, in Edam, just to prov 3 transom lights and 1 door, in Edam, just to prove again my love of ornament. 

I had educated myself, like many serious young men, to love the modernist architects and their pious utilitarianism, but slowly I lost my heart to the ornamentalists. Living under the skirts of one of Europe's great urban dowagers certainly hastened me down this decadent path. The orthodox dogma that says Representation (embellishment,  symbolism, natural motives, emblems) is somehow all an effete lie, fell away when confronted with the centuries of humanity that it contained. I feel a bit like one who, for mystic reasons, has come to the Catholic fold after a life of atheism. Accusations of Kitsch hold no sway by me.

Anyway, here are some drawings of a viewing kiosk in an exhibition hall dedicated to the history of the oldest functioning carillon in the world, in Monnickendam, which notwithstanding a continuous lockdown, opens at the end of March.

Ancient design sketches for filming of Brecht's "M Ancient design sketches for filming of Brecht's "Mother Courage and her Children" produced and promoted by the great Jeanne Moreau. Can you imagine her as a fierce scavenger following the war machines of the 80 years war? Unfortunately death does have a way of getting in the way of things. Still, I always kind of loved these drawings, from the days before photoshop, when working with gouache, crayon and typex. I think I was 24 years old or so, just before moving to Rome. So full of potential!

Aren't you as cheered as I am at the sight of a "Vlaamse Peen" (Flemish carrot, and yes, with double entendre). Well now is the moment to rediscover the ornamental treasures of the Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijk, which, where you'd normally be watching your step to not drown in a torrent of shoppers and tourists, now is quiet as a churchyard due to Covid restrictions. There are so many wonderful 19th century renaissance revival details (and occasionally the real thing) on shop windows from a bygone era which you would normally be hard pressed to notice over the usual technicolor consumer throng.

Feeling so lucky that I can groove on this any day of the week if I like. Not a bad beginning. I'd like to stay this grateful all year long.
