Each person was a source of flavor, odor and color:
\nthe ear, a tulip
\nthe eyebrows, two crayfish
\nthe eyes, two grapes
\nthe eyelids, ducks\u2019 bills
\nthe nose, a pearthe cheek, an apple
\nthe chin, a pomegranate
\nand the hair, a forest of branches.
\nGiuseppe Arcimboldo, court painter, kept three emperors in stitches.They celebrated him because they did not understand him. His paintings looked like amusement parks. And that was how the pagan artist managed to survive and live in luxury.
\nArcimboldo indulged in the mortal sin of idolatry, exalting human communion with wild exuberant nature.
\nHis portraits, said to be inoffensive and playful, in actual fact were ferocious mockery.
\nWhen he died, art\u2019s memory suppressed him like a nightmare.
\nFour centuries later, he was resuscitated by the surrealists, his belated children\n\n\n\n
