And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
— The Kinks (1967)
This is Jochen Hein’s shadow looming over a gathering of frightened empty wine bottles… fairly reminiscent of Max Schreck as Count Orlok… in F.W. Murnau’s expressionist masterpiece “Nosferatu – A Symphony of Horror” (1922)… http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6185283610506001721
… and here are the corks… oh yes the corks… might just as well show you the corks…
… and the wine list… now this is purely incidental, but if you would like to have a closer look at the paintings on the wall… http://www.artdoxa.com/users/Jochen_Hein/artwork_catalogs/23/artworks/7971http://www.artdoxa.com/users/Jochen_Hein/artwork_catalogs/22/artworks/7938
Aspiring photographer – http://www.artdoxa.com/users/felix/artworks/13879 – and struggling recording artist Felix Adelmann… in search of the lost chord… out in the studio backyard… while stacks of crates behold his shoes in silent admiration… those uber cool loafers… Felix – we’ll miss you…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of_the_Lost_Chord
… still more surreptitious product placement… Alfa hubcap and Gibson guitar…
… Tiger Beer and Orange… http://www.artdoxa.com/users/peckmaster/artworks/20855 http://www.artdoxa.com/mydoxa/artworks/23448 … taking it easy in their not quite so uber cool sandals and shirts, watching…
… as the handyman fixes a drainpipe with gaffer tape… applying the same acumen and circumspection he’s usually reserved for his painting…
… another job well done!Yes, the artist’s life is ardent and strenuous… full of privations… a never-ending struggle for truthfulness and authenticity…
Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay?
Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime…
