... homage to a most strange and disconcerting genius.
Inspired by the book “The little Prince” No,I didn’t start painting but one of my friend realy influenced me for that macro picture of an icestick .The icestick was frosted on the rocs in the woods,the reason for those beautiful colors.I just add a bit of saturation to put up the beautiful blue because I think it’s his favorite color. / For my bubbler’s friend Nigel.. Kafka a man who loves «Le petit Prince» as much as I do…..... / «It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;what is essential is invisible to the eyes» / Antoine de Saint-Exupéry….. I see in that icestick a the little boy with a long white shirt ,the arms reaching to the sky with his head falling back,his legs are beginning to vanish….you know that moment when the snake bite him and went back to his planet …I clearly see the blue snake at his feet ….I know I know ...I have a lot of imagination but I realy see it …. :)))) .......Please take a look at Kafka’s work ,he a fantastic painter …x / / /

“Franz Kafka Statue – Prague” was featured in the groups Statues and Such and “Public Art”. Bubble Jeopardy “Where is it?” question was solved by Umbra101!! – Photo taken in Prague, Czech Republic. / This interesting bronze statue by sculptor Jaroslav Rona is based on a vivid description that appears in Franz Kafka’s early short story “Description of a Struggle.” Kafka wrote of a young man riding on another man’s shoulders through the streets of Prague. In Rona’s work, that figure is Kafka himself sitting astride a headless man. This statue was unveiled in December 2003. It stands next to the Spanish Synagogue in Prague’s Jewish Quarter. / Source: About.com Franz Kafka (IPA: [ˈfʀanʦ ˈkafka]) (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary, presently the Czech Republic. His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously—is considered by some people to be among the most influential in Western literature. His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world.

Ode to Kafka (on the shore) it rained mackerel / the day the streets ran red / in different halves of the hole / kill a cat to make a flute / perhaps you’ll claim a soul / genders crossed / dreams were lost / looking for the bridge / somewhere on a mountain / refuge waits upon the ridge / the old man lost his feline tongue / the youth found hope in the sea / silent winds lulla bide the young / clouds cried extacy / a featherless colonel advanced the plan / a stone was turned at last / in the bloody entrails of the labyrinth / the future determined the past / final choices were driven / the sad lady forgiven / the mother the lover the wife / while in the moment / the portal closed / dark crow found meaning in life / we fight battles / not our own / to win the ones that are / head back to the sands / that measure your time / sliding through hands from afar one is a series from the book of the same name by Haruki Murakami.
A little hommage to kafakas shortstory / This work includes more than 350 of this scary, little beetles 3d Rendering with Cinema 4d Postwork in Photoshop
Panel 1 in the series L’Enfant de la Forêt / Collage in Adobe Photoshop After reading Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis I took to the narrative of Victor, the wolf child of Aveyron, France. Victor’s life story is the genesis of the first studies into understanding feral children in the Enlightenment era. I sensed a connection between Victor’s and Metamorphosis ’s Gregor’s inability to communicate with human language, one that alienated them both to varying states of dissolution. These collages are formed with hand-rendered drawings, pattern papers, and weathered texture paper together in the arena of Adobe Photoshop to produce six panels aimed at illustrating the yearning for understanding and the frustration and disappointment when that understanding is never fully realised.

Featured in the PostCard Style group and / in the Neighborhoods group. This picture is included in the Europe The golden Lane (looks more like an alley). In house Nr. 22 Franz Kafka lived for a short period (1916/1917) and also wrote parts of his works. Frans Kafka was a Czech-born German-speaking writer who only became famous posthumously with his novels expressing the alienation of 20th century man, more precisely dehumanization, bureaucratic labyrinths, and totalitarian society . Kafkaesque characters are trademarks of his writing. His health issues added other issues like fear of physical and mental collapse in his stories. / Kafka admitted in Letter to His Father (1919) : “My writing was all about you; all I did there, after all, was to bemoan what I could not bemoan upon your breast. It was an intentionally long-drawn-out leave-taking from you.” Prague (pronounced /ˈprɑːɡ/; Czech: Praha (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpraɦa], see also other names) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Its official name is Hlavní město Praha, meaning Prague, the Capital City. Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. The city proper is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Nicknames for Prague have included “the mother of cities” (Praga mater urbium, or “Praha matka měst” in Czech), “city of a hundred spires” and “the golden city”. Composed out of one image which I duplicated 6 times. Each duplicate I under/over exposed 1, 2 or 3 stops. Finally I combined the 7 images in Photomatix Pro to a HDR in order to get more details.
