Omschrijving
Ongeëvenaard
Zijn levensverhaal leest als een pleidooi
voor het volgen van de lijnen
van de eigen fascinatie
gekruid met ambitie voor 'anders'
niet zoals het hoort
maar zoals het past
altijd zwierig en beweeglijk
Without Equal
His life story reads like a plea
to follow the lines
of your own imagination
spiced with ambition to be 'different'
not like things should be
but as desired
always graceful and lively
For her ode to Rembrandt Without Equal, Brigitte Spiegeler opted for a different, more direct tone of voice than in her previous books of poetry. Spiegeler depicts Rembrandt's perfections and shortcomings in a broad palette of poems. It provides a form of biography the likes of which one seldom sees. Not just Rembrandt, his voice, his son Titus and his cat, but also his loved ones and contemporaries all pass in review. Even such artists as Vincent van Gogh and Aat Veldhoen who only saw the light of day centuries later play a role in the poems. Naturally there is no getting around a consideration of his paintings and etchings, his rise as a painter of genius and his sad demise. Without Equal is a poetic reflection on the life of the Netherlands' greatest painter through the eyes of a contemporary artist and poet. The collection ends with a glossary of notes on the background to some of the poems. Without Equal demonstrates how Rembrandt and his work was able to enchant both his and our own time. The publication of this collection marks the second and surprising phase of her poethood.
